I am so embarrassed because my surgery for sciatica & compressed discs in my back was rejected early this week by my surgeon because of my weight. He told me I need to lose at least 30 kilos before he would attempt my surgery as it is too dangerous to operate on me. I started Optifast this morning...2 shakes daily & a small normal meal tonight. I am on quite a large amount of medications for pain etc. so wonder if I have lapband surgery whether it will still be possible to get my med's down. I would like to learn as much as I can about Lapbanding because I doubt I can lose 30 kilos on my own. Please help...hugs xx

Hi from Australia. I was rejected for back surgery last tuesday because my surgeon says it would be safer to operate on me if I can lose some weight first. I just read your story & now wonder if trying Optifast 1st may be easier to try being a liquid diet... rather than cutting back on normal food? I have so much back pain & sciatica now & need slow release 'Oxycontin' plus Panadeine Forte for pain as well. Would taking slow release meds be a problem after being banded?
