Hello and lots of hugs, I am new to this forum. I need to lose at least 30 kilos before my surgeon is willing to risk operating on a bad spinal condition I have. He says at my weight it is too delicate an operation to do at my weight. At present I am on 'Oxycontin' {Morphine Meds} twice daily for severe pain and also Panadeine Forte. I am borderline diabetic, and am carrying a lot of fluid in my ankles and legs and have high blood pressure. I have about 14 tablets to take some of which are quite large. I have been reading a lot about Lapbanding and would like to find out all I can about it. I am worried that my med's will get stuck and not go down, I also wonder if I had the op to help me lose weight quicker before my back surgery, would the Lapbanding Operation be too painful to go through with all the pain I am already suffereing from due to my spine. Thank you for reading my post, I would appreciate any help members can give me. Bye For Now...xx

My back problem is a narrowing of my spine with 4 lumbar discs compacted causing severe sciatica especially in my legs. I am on slow release Morphine tablets to help cope with the pain...my GP is not keep on my having a band put in while on this medication...hugs xx

Good luck Darl...I pray everything goes well for you...you deserve it as it feels awful to be rejected. Take Care xx
