Thanks clair Going to GP on fri for results of blood.I really dont think it was as high as the nurse said she tried doing it three times with the digital one and it did not work then she did it three times manually.My neice said i would have headaches or palpatations or something if it jumped that high.

Hi Honeybee Im getting my band 16th feb are you going with someone. what hotel are you staying at .I am flying from Edinbourgh might see you there. Also from what ive read so far you should take some wind tablets and liq pain killers .If you are staying at the campalion(probly wrong spelling) hotel you should take a cup... and some cup a soup. Also you need to take your passport to hospital with you.

HI Girls I just went to my local Lloyds and got them to check my blood pressure and guess what it is not the same as the nurse said The lady at lloyds did both arms and one was norm and the other arm was on the higher side of norm.It gave me a fright i can tell you as ive been saving for months for this op and pinning all my hopes on it.How ever thats made my mind up to really stick to my low fat pre op diet.

Hi girls Im really upset just now .I,ve just been to see my nurse for a well woman check (my idea thought it would be good to get before i get my band) .And the nurse said i had high blood pressure 180 over 100 ive never had high blood pressure ever before and it does not run in my family.She said they will not do the op if my blood pressure is that high.I also got blood taken.Im supposed to get my op on16th feb .I phoned my neice (she is a nurse) she said it sounds weird as it is quite a jump from last time. Ive got to see doc on fri and if it is high hopefully he will give me something to bring it down but i will only have just over a week by then I know if i watch what im doing i could get my weight down by 7pounds by then but dont know even if that will help if anyone has any advice please help im desperate.

Hi blondynurse good luck and keep us posted

Hi slink I,ve not even had op yet but i just wanted to get organised for work and hols.I thought it would be a good idea becouse i,ve heard people say that you don,t get any restriction untill third fill.I suppose i will asses it nearer the time but i know i,ve got time off work ect if i do decide to get the fills.Thats was a good idea enjoy xmas sorry for being nosey.I hope everything is going well now you have had your fill.

Hi girls well its three weeks today untill i get my band.Ive managed to maintain this week again.Next week i have to start my pre op diet i dont fancy doing slimfast what did you do honeybelle?Today ive been thinking if im doing the right thing.... and how did i let it get this bad. I know i am..... but i keep thinking why i eat its not always becouse im hungry.And how do ideal with the still wanting food issues i think im going to struggle with that more than anything.Also bread is one of my down falls and from what i read thats a no no .Then i tell myself thats why im getting this done so i physically can,t eat the same amount.Slinky why did it take so long to get to your third fill ive already booked one for march and one for april in glasgow talk about being organised.Also if anyone is going 16th feb let me know.

HI mummsiebb Well havent lost any weight but have stayed the same and not gained.Ive cut down on wine as i used to like a glass or two with my dinner at night .But most importantly have been keeping busy .It will be two weeks untill i start my diet for the op.How are you doing did you get a fill in jan. sarapaisley

Hi FattyPatty Thanks and good luck.Tomorrow my neice (melanie)goes into hospital to have a wee boy like you she was refused ivf becouse of her weight she lost 2 stone at the begining of the year due to back problems.Then in the summer she found out she was prgnant.She is 39 and her bmi is a lot higher than yours.Everything has went really well with her pregnancy even although she is still quite heavy,So we are all excited about tomorrow.So keep positive its amazing what losing a bit of weight can do. sarapaisley

Hi slinky Thanks for advice i,ve made a list anything else you can think of will be grateful .

I,ve been trying to eat healthy for last couple of weeks, not done to well but i have been keeping myself busy and i have not gained any weight so im happy with that.I,ve got a couple of questions if anyone can help with. Slinky did i read that you cant do sit ups,wot about power plates can you go on them (birthday in march asked for gym pass) Also when did you start taking thistle milk tabs. Where can i get liquid vitamins .I am taking the package deal only have got an extra 110 euros do you think that will be enough i will probly take bank card incase.Sorry for all questions im going on my own and want to be prepared .

Hi mummiesBB i have followed your journey and am pleased to say i am getting banded by CDB on 17th feb. .I am 21 stone and i know i have a long journey but can,t face ww or any other slimming clubs any more.The thing is becouse i am so big i find it really hard to get about i do work two days a week and it can be phisical as i work in a childrens shoe shop but the rest of the time i dont do much at all.I was wondering if you started exercising after you got banded and how much you did i can tell from your blogs you are on the go a lot..Any way thanks to you i am going to start tomorrow healthy eating and start do a little walking to prepare my body for the op and i was wondering if i could use you as sounding block as i think i will do better if i have someone to report to

llama good luck.please let me know how you get on. I am booked in 16th feb :blushing:
