Englishrose and Flirtylass you are doing soooooo well, you are such an inspiration to me, you must be so pleased with your weightloss in such a short time.

I didnt know that you could transfer the money, makes a lot more sense than taking all that wonga with me, i might have second thoughts and go via Paris shopping lol:smile2:

Hey Simmy, I dont think you are mad, if you have come to the conclusion that this is what you want and have done your research that this is right for you then how can it be. Its a personal choice that you are following and really other peoples views shouldnt matter. If you are not 100% sure that this is what you want maybe you could wait a few more months. For me it took over a year to pluck up the courage to go for it, and im scared and excited all at the same time but know that I have reached this without friends and family input lol, infact I have only told a few of my friends about the pending banding and they have now changed their views and will be supporting me. Dont beat yourself up about it Simmy just do what you feel is right. I am being banded on the 15th October and Vanessa is on the 14th so we can all be scared together lol:smile2:

lol oooooooooooo I so know how you feel, im craving McDs at the moment but fighting it lol, I have the rest of this week to get over it as I am starting the diet on Monday:confused_smile: I looked at the flight prices and decided that it was far cheaper going on the train and even though I live 6 miles from Heathrow a lot quicker, and of course the carbon footprint has to be taken into account. Do you know what hotel you are staying in yet?

I think I had one one of those installed to Vanessa, not only a choc chip, a crisp chip, a chip chip a...........dont know about the rest of you that are about to start the pre-op diet, but I seem to be craving for things that I wouldnt normally crave for lol I think my head is thinking its the last supper and im never going to eat again.......

lol well we would be in the right place, we could always go window shopping and stick our noses to the windows displaying all those yummy chocs and dribble hee hee.

Hey Vanessa, we can always meet up for a glass of water and a clear soup lol.

Hi Vanessa I am being banded on the 15th October by Dr.C. arriving in Brussels on the 14th so we will be in the same hospital. Im going by Eurostar (as long as another fire doesnt break out), but I beleive that Brussels International Airport is the best place to fly into, and not to far away from the Dr.C Consulting room and the hospital. What hotel are you staying at? I will be staying at the Campanile, so maybe we can meet up and be exicted and scared together lol:eek:

How do you feel a few days, a few weeks after the operation? do you feel weak from not having had any food and are the liquids enough to sustain? just curious to know because if i dont have food I end up feeling a bit faint and lifeless lol:crying:

Thanks for the reply mooster, I have spent weeks looking thro websites, forums and now i have found this valuable forum and picking up lots of tips about before, during and after. How are you doing now 6 weeks after? Well done for going for it.:embaressed_smile: And Van, I also thought it was all a bit strange, but if you read the pre-posts it will put your mind at ease as they have mine.

Hi everyone, I am to be banded on the 15th Oct by Dr.De Bruyne and am a little fearful to say the least, but after reading all your posts im feeling a bit more releived and you have all given me the insperation to go thro' with it.
