Post Op Feb / March Bandsters ... Nearly There

Hi Guys ,

Well 25th fast closing in now , my op on the 25th at Ross Hall in Glasgow .. I was wondering and looking for comments ..

6th March weigh in 282lbs , today after being on low cal diet 1 week and 2 week pre op liquid diet ( which I have stuck to with the exception of a bite of chicken and a baked potato with cottage chees last week which I was forced to buy at the Shopping Mall , only way I could get a seat so the kids could sit and eat their food as was very busy , only place that had seats was the potato shack , but they would let us sit unless we bought something , so fell into the trap , of buying , with intention of not eating .... but then my usual Im not wasting that kicked in )

anyway .. enough ranting ........... weighed myself today

265.7 lbs , 16 lbs lost since 6th March ..

I ask my self ? is this a good indication that the lap band will be successful for me , am I an ideal canditate do you think.

In all fairness I think Ive managed the shortage of food quite well , although felt hungry , not that I would say ravenous .. severe to the extent that Im constantly thinking about it.

What do you reckon , Im still twiddling around should I still go ahead , I know I will and more so pre op jitters , in reality I have to loose it , its not a vanity issue , more so health issue , but Im more so concerned with reading some negative posts and lap band failures and keep thinking to myself , what if I have problems , what if I dont loose weight ..

perhaps Im just being silly like a child worrying about nothing and way any words of genuine reassurance and any feedback with what I could expect following the op on the 25th based on my weight loss so far would be appreciated.

If similar loss pre op , would be interested as to what you post op weight loss has been so far
