yESTERDAY WAS A SPECIAL DAY FOR ME LAST WEEK I DONE A 1HOUR INTERVIEW ON THE PHONE AND A, PHOTO,S TAKING FOR A SCOTTISH BROADSHEET NEWS PAPER AS I WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO HAVE GASTRIC BAND SURGERY IN EDINBURGH SPIRE MURRAYFIELD HOSPITAL. WELL I WAS UP EARLY SUNDAY MORNING TO PICK UP MY 4 COPIES OF THE PAPER NOT ALL FOR ME, COULDN,T WAIT TO SEE THE ARTICLE WHEN I FOUND IT THAT WAS AS IT WAS IN A SUPPLEMENT. WELL TO MY SURPISE IT WAS QUITE A BIG ARTICLE OVER 2 PAGES. IT HAD OLD PHOTO,S AND A NEW PHOTO OF ME LESS 7 STONE SINCE NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR AND A GOOD STORY ABOUT ME AND MU STRUGLE TO LOSS WEIGHT. I HAVE HAD GOOD AND VERY BAD DAYS THAT I WISH I COULD SET MY A SUPPORT GROUP.:biggrin:

I have just came back from 1 week away in a caravan with my hubby and candy @floss my 2 cavalier king charles spaniels whilist being away was great, the weather was fab, the site was 10 miles frm county durham. We done loads of walking, it was the 1st time I have been away since being banded I found it very difficult as I constantly felt hungry. It didn,t help with going to the seaside resorts and watching people q all the way outside all the fish and chips shops on hot days to stuff there faces. I didn,t go of the rail once although the temptation was there. The only thing that kept me going was the fact I have to face the dietician and the staff nurse on this monday to get weighted:ohmy:

I have recently done a article on gastric band surgery for a scottish news paper which can be found going onto my contact details.

:biggrin2:Hi I was banded 24th Nov 07 @ Spire Murrayfield Hospital in Edinburgh the consultants that done my op were 1st class Mr Bruce Tulloch and Mr Andrew De Beaux. I would never have went abroad even if it was alot cheaper I feel you need good after care after having gastric band surgery to help you cope with the good and bad days that you have. Since my op I have came down 7stone I have done 2 open days at the hospital regarding weight-loss surgery and I have also recently appeared on the Scotland on Sunday newspaper doing a big article regarding weight-loss surgery. Hopefully Iam hoping to get a support group set up in Edinburgh for people who are thinking about getting the gastic band and folk that have already had it done
