Hi

I have decided to get the procedure done - just have to save up for it. I live in uk and want to go to Brussels as it seems cheapest and safest there. Anyone know of the above?

Thanks

Right guys how am I gonna do this. I got banded on Friday and although Im not 100% I feel pretty good. Son has Graduation on Friday which lasts around 1-1 1/2hours service. Then on to a hotel for champagne reception for 2 hrs, take family out for meal then back home for party 30 guests. I have got caterers in to do the food so not too worried about that. I am more concerned if I am up to it and also covering up not eating or drinking alcohol. First born has worked really hard for this degree and it was all booked before my op. He is also getting presented with a Student of distinction, so proud and I really dont want to let him down. I tire quite easily at the moment i.e. emptying dishwasher is taking twice as long and Im pretty tired. Any tips please!!! Jx

Hi Homecare

How about using the recent hot weather as a bit of an excuse? As in "it's too hot to eat..." and "I fancy an orange juice with ice as its so hot...." don't worry about it, the more you draw attention to it the more people will notice.

Have a great day. My son's graduation is later in the year too.

Mammy is coming over im flying over fri 17th having my pre op tests then in for surgery 6.30am sat morn he said il have catheter and stuff and those things on my legs that pump up and down for blood clots i think it'l take a good 6wks for me to feel any way normal but more like a few months he said it can take over 6months for the swelling to go down he is using disolvable stiches on me so i wont have to fly back to get them removed i think il be getting out of hospital on the thurs and back on the fri to get dressings changed and i have flight booked home that night all going well so its all happening in the space of 10months cant believe it im so bloody excited now cant thik bout anything else i was out the wkend and people didnt recoginse me and everyone congratulating me on how good i look i felt like i was famous some people were in complete shock wait til i have my nips and tucks done lol

Flirty, im so pleased for you! and all within a year!..im sure that you will feel like youve been run over by a bus at first,having it all done at once, but its gonna be so worth it!..i wish it was me!

youll see the improvements straight away, but like the doc says its gonna take about 6 months for it to settle down then the scars will flatten and smooth. are you having it done in leeds? i cant wait to see your before and after photos, im really excited for you! you have arrived at your destination! a new you! x

Yeah im getting it done in methley in leeds so dont forget u and big sis are more than welcome to drop in if yous have nothing better to do lol its like a wee hotel only 35bed hospital and in the country side really nice but yeah he said il see unreal results soon as i waken up i can just imagine how il feel waking up i dread the thought and i dread having to move i was so sick after the bloody band and it only a 35min op with 5wee holes lol im sure they will give me very strong painkillers or maybe a morphine pump i hope lol
