Hello!

I'm a newbie too and do not live in Ireland- sorry! BUT I am also living overseas and being banded on the 6th Dec. So we have some things in common

I'm 38 this month, married with 2 children (girls 3 and 5 years) and want to lose around 53 kg (117 pounds)

At the moment I am really nervous and wondering if I'm doing the right thing. I'm also having my gall bladder removed at the same time and hope this has been the right decision. I've wanted the lap band for a very long time, but now that it is really happening I'm scared and excited at the same time.

I haven't told anyone about the surgery (except for my husband).

I would love to have a buddy to share stories and to support one another and hopefully a mentor could help us both us out with encouraging words and advice.

Have a safe trip to Belgium and I wish you all the very best for Monday with a speedy recovery.

Hi, hope the op went well for you.. would love if you could let me know how you got on.. I took the first step today (after two years of consideration...) and finally booked the consultation with Dr Bruyne in Wicklow.. Meeting with him next Monday for what I hope will result in changing things for me moving forward..
