Banded here in U.K. Nearly 3yrs ago & sadly still the same weight. So having it removed as well as my stomach in sleeve surgery. Extremely nervous, yet very excited. Counting down the days........

That's the major issue I have with bands, IMHO they are a waste of time as far too many complications from them etc.

Taking this one slowly & also not hiding it from friends or family

YAY! Glasgow here!

YAY! Glasgow here!

That's where I went & am going back to at the Nuffield.

I had my band removed and was sleeved on March 6th. I lost weight, but sadly I never found the green zone and ended up gaining it all back. (Wasn't at my highest, but never wanted to go there again). Even though I'm still on liquids (get to start purée tomorrow, yay!) it already feels different. Best of luck to you!

Gutted I've had to go through all this & worse off. Emotionally, financially, physically & mentally.

Trying to eat high protein just now before I start liquid diet, but just seem to be eating even more!!
