Banded 1st July! Change for life! :tongue_smilie: After much research i was under the impression i'd be fine after a few days. Ha ha ha.......was i fooled. It is now July 6th - the smallest thing exhausts me! Luckily took 10 days off work following surgery, so i'm hoping by next week all will be well? I've found the mix of liquid diet and medication quite difficult.......strong painkillers on more or less empty stomach cause sickness and nausea. Luckily surgeon said i could have creamy soups to get some protein - which has helped! Cant wait to start on mushies!!!!! :thumbdown:

Hi Akheya....thanks for the reply! Well Dr Faruq practices at many surgeries in Dubai and internationally. his website is www.surgery.ae - they have all been very helpful. had all the tests done now, so all set to go on July 1st! i was going to go through cosmesurge who also use Chris de bruyne, but once i knew he was rarely here i changed my mind. :thumbup: Where are you located? When is your surgery? I'm trying to prepare for the pre-op diet, was told to do slim-fast but cant as allergic to milk. so got to find a completely fat free diet that is simple. :thumbup: Take care

Hi, I've chosen to have surgery with Dr Faruq Badiuddin. He has a good reputation, and have met him already to discuss the procedure - he is also providing the aftercare. If anyone wants to chat, please let me know.......? :frown:
