Hi Everyone,

I am having my lapband surgery finally tomorrow at 3 PM in Manchester, UK. Although I do not live here in UK, I wanted to do it here because I can have it done by Prof. Favretti who is the best surgeon in this field and I can have the SILS (single incision). Because I am a self payer, I came here. Now, I am in my hotel excited, nervous and a bit scared.

Today I met with Healthier Weight people and Dr. Ashton, great people very kind and I am more in easy. Dr. even told me to have a nice dinner. I was scared that I was not religiously following the diet and my liver will be very large. They were not worried. I am scared from narcoses, like many thoughts come to my mind that I can sleep and never wake up again or wake up during the surgery. I know its just what I create in my mind but I am feeling as such.

I am 125 kilos now and I aim to be 85. Pray for me..

Best of luck..you will do great and be so happy you did it!! it is the best decision I have ever made!

You will be fine.....people have this done everyday and the rates are really low for things like that, almost nonexistent. I am having surgery on Friday so I feel ya. I am worried too but the funny thing is I am most worried about that saggy skin that could result from the surgery.

Good luck, you will be so much happier in the end. BTW, I am jealous that you get one incision...wow!

Praying for you and I only wish the best for you..>Rest in knowing that others are praying for you...Just think of how much better you will be 1 week from today! Awesome!

hope you are doing fine:smile: I too am getting mine soon--the 26th. best wishes and good thought going your way:)

thanks everyone for your support. My surgery went well. Yet they had to do 3 more small incisions as my liver was way too tick. stick all from my belly button so no large scar. I will do another post with my experience in details.

Thanks again

Glad to see things went well

I'm having my surgery this afternoon. I'm not sure how I'll make it to 2:30 without Water. But I'm getting very excited. Nervous, too, of course.

LosinginSt.Lou, I hope you have a fast recovery.

Keep us posted.

I know what you feel, I felt the same. But here I am, 2nd day after surgery. I am feeling great (except gas and burping so be prepared)

Kerimhann, It's good to hear from you and to hear you're OK
