Hi, I have booked my band op for December, so excited!!!!!!!!!!!

Has antone got any pre-op advice?

Thanks :rolleyes2:

Hi,

First of all, welcome to the forum and I hope that your operation goes well for you.

As for pre-op, I had to go on a liquid diet for two weeks before the operation. This wasn't as bad as it may sound, as I love soup! Also, spend the time getting as much information as you can about the procedure and how it works. Get your support network in place if that's possible - family, friends etc. Life is going to be very different and change can be stressful.

Really though, be happy with your decision, excited about the future and prepare as well as you can.

Hiya,

I too am getting banded in December, 1 tip I'm trying to get myself to listen to is to try not to blow out too much before hand. I am also trying to cut down on my Pepsi Max addiction, it may be sugar free but those bubbles wont be good for my band so I'm working on that already.

Good luck with your band and just think by Christmas next year we'll be crackers

Hi,

Thanks guys for your reply.

Good luck to you too Vixon!!! We are round about the same BMI so it would be good to compare our progress.

To be banded 16/12/08
