I in the afternoon I will finally be getting my band done, very nervous but also very excited to start on this journey, although I followed the pre op diet to a tee and only lost 5 kg I'm scared that I just can't lose weight!

5 kg is about what most seem to lose so you're doing great. It should get easier with the band.

Hi there and congratulations! Keep us posted.......

Ok so had surgery yesterday and all went great but it's a lot more painful than previous surgeries (Gaul bladder and appendix) or maybe my pain tolerance has changed over the years not sure!
