  1. Hi Folks, First off all let me thank all the fellow bandsters that wished me well:smile2: Well all went well better than expected as before I arrived at the Hospital I was a touch nervous. The nurses and surgeons did an excellent job and after meeting with them my mind was at ease. The whole thing was done very proffesionally. The pain now is minimal, they also repaired a abdominal hernia at the same time. Sleeping last night was not a problem. So all in all it was something that would be highly recommended :thumbdown: My weight before at initial visit was 281lbs. Before pre-op diet (shakes) 279lbs. After pre-op diet 261lbs. Day of surgery 261lbs. Can someone help me on how I do a ticker!! Have tried but cant seem to work it out.

  7. My Pre-Op is 5 shakes a day, the first few days were hard but after that I was OK, even went to a friends House Warming party yesterday there was a big crowd there and they made some great looking BBQ food, but I was not tempted to indulge, they also had a lot of booze on the go and me Originally being from Scotland (we like our beer)never even touched a drop. Stick with it it gets easier and it will be worth it in the long run!!
