This is a really, really horrible thing to write on a thread of people who have just had their bands put in. What did you actually hope to achieve by writing this? Give people advice, give them warning signs to look out for, give them some context regarding your circumstances. Don't just come here and tell them the life changing decision they have just made almost killed you! Not nice at all! Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi all, I've got my surgery booked for Tuesday, & my overwhelming feeling is excitement. I've wanted this for well over a year & I'm ready to be out the other side of the op now! So far, I've only been able to speak to one person who has had a lap band fitted, and they told me it was pointless and they were now heavier than when they started. I have so many questions, and there are naturally things I am worried/concerned about, I would sincerely appreciate having someone to speak to and guide me through the process. Or anybody else who is just starting this journey and wants a buddy! I'm 25, female, work full time and I'm from the UK. If anybody is willing to speak to me at all it would be such a relief! Please and thank you so much in advance! Jenni Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app
