hi all i had to go to doctors this morning with my son as he has really heavy cold and is wheezing,im terrified of getting sick before friday. will they do op if you have a cold ?? but i did find out that i can maybe claim some of the money for op back in tax relief so thats good keep hubby happy. im not on any pre-diet,as doc doesnt request one and im not even eating healthy and now im worried about where my head is in relation to doing this,im wondering how i would have faired had i needed to do pre op diet. im sorry im all over the place i guess im nervous and babbling and think oh please god give me the strength to not stuff this up, (hermosa) i know how you feel ,i had to convince hubby im doing the right thing and in doing so i think i have him thinking il be banded then skinny and nothing in between. i think that he might end up being a bit of a prat about it ,you know like the food police and thinking he has control of my choices,there nothing pisses me off more than feeling controlled ,if i suceed (sorry when i succeed) i want it to be because i did it ,with the help with my friend the lapband and the understanding of all of you who are doing it too.

I havent been banded yet so im sorry no good with advice:cry , did they give you any medication for the nausea,its says on my sheet to have no more than 30mls of Fluid at any one sitting and sip it and wait 30 minutes between next drink or you will feel nauseous it probably anesethetic ok im crap at spelling and not helping ..il send loads of hugs and luck your way it day one and no gas pains whoo hoo. il be joining you on friday

:clap2: im being banded on 15th whoo hoo !!! im not sleeping that well not sure if excitement or fear or both.

hi karen im being banded next friday,im so nervous about it as it is still a enigma to me,im not sure whats going to happen in future but im not dealing with my weight right now and i have a very unhealthy self image and it screwing up my life so im praying that banding is a great choice.

its 1 46 am im nervous and not sleeping and have a whole week to go b4 surgery :omg: ,but i loved this thread and makes me so glad im going for it ,thanks guys you not only helping yourselfs your inspiring others :clap2: .

im happily married have four gorgeous sons provide very well for them and am paying for my own surgery,and i agree totally that having numerous pregnancys without care for how you will be able to manage them financially and emotionally til adulthood is madness but i think family size is personal choice and of course if there were no more children the world ends !!!!so no need to worry about the queues.

hiya ive had my gb removed and apart from a afternoon of agony from gas pains i was fine actually when i got up to use toilet (as im a bed pan phobe) i started to feel much better ,im having my surgery on the 15th of december and i am truly scared and excited but mainly scared as i want it to be great for me and so terrified if it goes wrong i look a fool ,as i know people around me waiting to see if it right decision ! i also feel im so uninformed i wasnt told about any special diet b4 or after and im having surgery on friday and my hubby going to work on the monday so il be home with my 3 year old (other boys at school )and there seemsalot of people in pain for more than a few days ,kmy surgeon reckons it only take 30 mins for my surgery so i was thinking quick healing. what are protein shakes ???and i dont want to pay 10000 euro to drink slim fast ...pmsl
