Just had my appt to see the surgeon to discuss the Lap Band and have walked out with a date! Can't believe how quick it's all moving.

Would love to hear from people who are going in around the same time too.

Thank-you! Good luck to you also. I'm not actually on Pre diet. Apparently my liver is ok. How ever I do have to practice the smaller portion and chewing for the next 3 weeks. So it's not a huge shock. I am very nervous too but also excited.

Congrats to all of you.

Thank-you!!

You all will do great

You all will do great

I'm definitely ready to put my all into this journey.

I feel like it's going to be a long 3 weeks waiting. Lol I'm a little impatient. Lol.

I've been reading lots of stories on here the past couple of weeks and everyone seems really lovely and the support from other banded people looks amazing.

Good Luck to those that are being banded today. I had mine done today and I'm doing ok. Bit sore and tired but other wise doing pretty good. Pretty happy with the ways things went and are going. If I had to tell you 3 things... Try and get out of bed as soon as you can even if you don't feel like it and walk around the ward a few times. I was told to and I thinks it definitely makes a difference. Heat pack... So good. Definitely makes me feel better and take a pillow in the car for comfort on the way home. Good luck ladies.. Thinking of you all. X
