you will have 5 wounds (6 for a guy), four of them will be no longer than a cm and 1 will be about 5-6 cm as this is your port.

hi Garry thanks for the address in Ednburgh re fills and info re airport!

also noticed you saying us guys will have six incisions...what is the reason for that if you know?

also maybe you can answer this too garry do we need to take our passport when we check in at the hospital?

Yes I think everything is under control:scared2: not. Im absolutely C***ing myself. But I have got the flights, painkillers, Soup, glass mugs and stretchy clothing organised. I think when I read kathys post it really scared me so I wish I could get my brain organised as easily. I attend a weight management course but havent really taken it seriously until 2 weeks ago. I know after first week I lost 3 and a 1/2 pounds so hoping to do the same again this week as I have been really good. No alcohol for over a fortnight except on Satuarday at my friends silver wedding anniversary and I can assure you it went straight to my head. So no more I want my liver in 1/2 decent condition for op. Anyway time is creeping up cant believe its came round this quickly. J x:sad:

All pre bandsters dont forget you can take away the apprehension of the unknown by going onto u tube and searching miss flump she has posted a video diary of the hotel, hospital, and she shows her scars immediatly after the op, its not quite as scary when you can see things for your self.

Welcome Allan, hope you start to feel better soon, contact with Gary will help he's such a great Guy, we were at Belgium together, and he also suffered the same as you, also keep in touch with Dr. Chris he might want to see you before your due for a fill.

Bobo you have done brilliant, you guys are doing so well, it really adds to the thread to have a mix, of girls and guys, I bet you re feeling so much better now you've lost 5 STONE

Hi Homecare,

I'm not doing to bad its 5 weeks post op and think i was about 17 1/2 stone when i went in. I'm now 15stone 8 pounds so doing really well! I'm still not eating much! For today for example i have had 2 ryvita with 1 poached egg and a couple of cooked mushrooms and for tea i had cottage pie with carrots which didn't even fill a side plate!

Also i have been trampolining all day! I'm tired but have first fill on thursday in london!
