Hello fellow UKers! Just wondered if there is anyone that is been banded in the near future from the UK or are you thinking about it?

I know Sirusman is being done this week and I'm scheduled for the 8th October, just wondered if anyone else is out there and getting nervous. If you are and you're only lurking - get an account and come on this thread, let us know you're out there.

Hello everyone,

I'm tonight's new person. I'm being banded on Friday 12 October by Mr John Rogers at The Princess Grace Hospital in London. I can't wait to get things started. The operation doesn't worry me at all. I know that I've got to make a lot of effort to make this work 'cos I have soooooo much to willingly lose.

I was banded on 7th October in London. It was a difficult decision but even though I am sore , I feel amazingly well and now bored stuck at home. I am 100% sure this was the right way to go , but unlike normal weight-loss routes there is no club to go to, no-one to talk to , so I am on here gathering as much info a possible because I am not sure what is normal and what is something I need to worry about.

I'm being midbanded in France on the 9th JAN 08!
