sorry bigsister I should know better! Youll be having not just a band....but a bestest silicone and quality belgian plastic finest gastric band?! ha!..Ill just have a yellow Netto one. it'll be R8!.

Yes, it will be an all butter gastric band covered in the finest Belgian chocolate (from the 'be good to yourself' range of course!) I have been measured up for my highly superior post op jogging outfit by Armani (which comes with a matching chihauha) at considerable cost. Please do not acknowledge me in Belgium donning your Vicky Pollard outfit, I will deny any family connections!

Hark at her Wishfull?, she thinks shes good dont she?!. she will have to have a vicky pollard or waynetta slob jogging suit on like us...only thing shell get hers from juicy couture or summat! (or at least M&S). I have got mine already off the market..I am going to look stunning on my reveal day!!

Hey Wishfull, and bigsister will have booked the all butter penthouse hospital suite with swimming pool etc!, and shell be club class on the plane drinking champagne and caviar smoothies!

Well I was hoping to be in a size 10 bikini for the journey home. It will be a full 2 days post banding after all! Think possibly sister gillian was lying when she insisted you lost at least 4 stones in the first 24 hours!

sorry bigsister if i av ruined it 4 u, i think gillian has been watching 'peter kay' lose 10 stone in a day!!! ul av plenty ov time struting ur stuff in ur ickle bikini lol

Hi TanyaC. It would be good if you could find someone on forum going on same date - when is it? If not then I'm sure everyone being banded on same day supports each other. I wouldn't be worried about going on my own, but obviously feel better about going with littlesister (gillian). Looking forward to hearing from the people who have been recently.

im really hoping for around march/april time. how come you not told your fella yet bigsister? what will he say when he finds out? has anyones other half said that they really dont want them to do it for whatever reason i.e cant afford it, insecurity??????

bigsis im surell ill find someone but hoping that my fella will be there with me all the way so in a way wont be alone.

does anyone know what its like after being banded, drinking? can you still drink alcohol? does it effect you more quickly? do they recommend you stay off it? there is never anything on the internet about drinking?

Take care girlies

ALCOHOL!!..yes you can still have it but think it will affect you more quickly..just like when you drink on an empty stomach suppose?..but a woman i work with who was banded in july, still drinks her gin and tonics but slower and she stirs it around with a straw and adds a little pich of sugar from a sachet in her bag....as fizzy drinks can repeat like mad and hurt a bit as they go down..if you like wine and spirits your fine..just watch the fizzy drinks she reckons!..I shall test this theory out well after i have been banded myself, and report back my findings...all in the name of research obviously! x

lol sounds good to me, im a wine drinker anyway so ill be fine hopefully, but yeh let me know when you find out. Not long now is it??? Someone said about finding out if asda doing cheap jogging bottoms!! well yes they do they go up to a size 24 and there only £4 bargin didnt check to see what size the dearer ones go up to!!
