Hello again, just a update on whats been happening regarding my Abdominoplasty, i had my pre op assesment last week and im fit for surgery, they were very thourough with me, and re tested me 4 mrsa which i had when i was banded. Im glad to say ive had the results back for them tests and they are mrsa clear ! So my surgery will be going ahead 22nd May. Im quite nervous as its major surgery and as well as doing hip 2 hip they will be cutting up my middle up to the breast bone, i will have to wear a corsett for up to four months but i dont mind that or even the pain, its infection im more concerned about, any way thats my update ill let you all know how i get on.

Hi, my 1st appointment with my NHS surgeon, he said to me that he wanted to see that i could commit to weight loss for so long, as the band is a life long commitment. Id previously been on all the weight loss pills and he re prescribed me xenical, gave me 3 months to lose what i could, he said if i show commitment with it he would put me on his waiting list after that, then if hes happy with the weight loss, the approximate waiting time from that point is around 6 months. Hope that is some help to you. Liz xxxxxxxx

I can not tollerate any of the items on your list as they are to dry and dense to go throught my band , i get an instant pb with 1 bite, so ive given up on then all together, i can can eat baked beans though, but not many as they are real filling.

Hi Melanie, if the healthy food is becoming stuck and the bad foods are going down maybe u r a little to tight, this is a possible cause for no weight loss, go see ur band doctor or talk it over with your dietician. Good luck, thats what i would do. LIZ XXX
