I have my first consultation on Tuesday and am really nervous, I have some of the obvious questions to ask but not sure what else. Can anyone tell me anything I should ask other that about complications, life after band etc. Also what can I expect from my consultation? I have had a look and a lot of the American bandsters talk about stuff which I don't thyink we do over here?

I bumped into an old friend I went to school with yesterday and I felt so ashamed at the way I looked and she seemed so successful it actually made me cry, so I know I have to do this and go for it with all my strength!

I like this website but you may like to visit WLSinfo.org.uk , you have to pay to read the forums but it is a UK based websire, there are loads of threads relating to pre op worries etc. I usualy find that between the two sites you can always find the answer to any questions. The surgeries working by restriction section iseary all about banding.

Good luck anyway!

Hi Fairydust,

I know how you feel!!! I have my consultation on the 3rd September and I am very nervous. When you are in front of the doctor all the important questions seem to clear from your brain LOL.

I am just going to keep cool and not try to worry about asking stupid questions, I am paying enough for it so I might as well

Ah yea and bumping into old friends who are skinny, just wait until you've lost it and they see you again!

Lol x
