Well what can I say this is my first blog and its all about the life changing experience of having a gastirc band. :)

I live in the UK and was refused the band on the NHS.... maybe cos I am not fat enough! :thumbup:

 

I have battled with my weight all my life and thought I had beat it a couple of years ago when I dropped 6 stone and was happy, but the weight crept back on when I stopped going to Slimming world.... or rehab for fat people as I call it. I stopped going purely because I saw the club for what it was a money making scheme to cash in on fat people!! I was happy at the weight I had got too but the advisor sand therefore wanted to put me into competitions to make her look good...... and she rang me demanding to know why I hadnt gone for a while!! ... needless to say I stopped for good after that.

Then once I fell off the wagon, the weight came back with a vengeance... even though I was getting fatter I still couldnt see what it was doing to me and the family!!

So thats me two days away from a gastirc band and hopefully a new life a lot lighter that I am now!

I would love to meet new people on this website as we have one thing in comon and would love to get loads of advice on post op things.

You can count me as a friend to help you along with your journey! I was banded on 11/23/9 and have lost 90 lbs so far and have 36 more to go. Looks like you are going in for surgery tomorrow..I wish you the very best! You can reach me at dsmith16@tamapbay.rr.com

the sooner you can get up and walk the better you will feel is probably the best advice I can give you for right now.
