Thank you for that, I'm sure I'll be blubbing for any help I can get. I've fantasised about being banded for years now but never actually looked in to it until now. This thread has helped me immensely already, it's given more answers than anything I've read anywhere else and everyones frankness has been an eye- opener. I know its not gonna be like in my fantasies where I get banded, the weight drops off me with ease and I turn into a wee honey in no time at all. Reading this thread has made me think realistically and helped in my decision to go ahead with it, the good results seem to out-weigh the bad days (one blog I read somewhere scared the bejeezus out of me and nearly damn-well put me off for life).
I managed to get in touch with Bridget and shes going to call back with a date, probably July 1st or there abouts now.
