Thanx Slinx, wish I didnt have all this loose skin though, spose its my age and lack of exercise this has gotta change.

Good luck to the Flower girls lol(Daisy and Rosie), glad you have each other.

Slinx we fly from manchester on Thursday about 4pm, even I am getting excited and am packing lol.

Trying to sort out in my mind how many hours of dvd's I will need.

My daughter cant wait, she's looking forward to changing her life. Since she was 13 she has watched what she has eaten, and managed to stay about the same until she had Lipo on her tum and then the fat moved to her arms and upper torso, same happened to a friend of mine.

She's sick of weight watching and does need the help of the band. She wants to lose about 4 stone I think.

hi everyone, well was banded on Wednesday and I might say its pretty bloody painful!!! Husband stayed with me until about 10am, he got a taxi back to hotel (cost him 15euro so he walked every other visit - its only 30 min walk but there are loads of road works so taxi takes diversion and this puts cost up!!). I was taken down early as someone didnt turn up.. They all speak good english and must say hospital is spotless... after waking up in recovery I was really sick from GA and morphine.. went back to my bed and just drifted in and out of conscience for rest of day.. hub came back at 5ish (visiting hrs 12.30 - 8.30pm).. the only thing is I didnt expect the pain.. maybe as I have never had an operation before and they are not good at giving you pain relief.. you must go on at them for that.. didnt have a good night but like I said it was lack of pain relief but in the end they gave me more morphine around 3am and I slept.. Dr Chris came and seen me and said how well all had gone (he did visit me earlier also) .. they take alot of blood through the day so be prepared.... I rested the rest of the morning, nurses took my drip out and the tube from my stomach and gave me some Water and soup.. taxi was booked by Frederik at 1.30pm (this is all done by him).. I did tell my husband not to come but I am glad he did as I couldnt even carry my own bag.. (by the way didnt need my dressing gown as ward is roasting). Feeling in my chest was pretty bad but its bearable.. flight home was 7am and yeah felt like crap the whole journey but hey I knew I had to do it.. I am so glad I took my husband (and baby!) I think you really need support. The whole experience happened so quick and when I first woke up I felt like what the hell have I done but now the pain is gradually getting better I am starting to think a lot more positive.. The hotel is really basic but clean. When you come out of the hotel turn left and walk straight.. under the train bridge and accross busy road (keep straight) after about 15 mins at most you come to some shops H&M, C&A and Lidl. Walking directions for hospital is when you come to C&A carry on straight round a bendy street as you come to the bend at the end you will see a court with pubs and restaurants in it, cut accross the court, continue to end of that street take a left walk to very bottom of that street and take right half way up that street the hospital is there. Husband says its a nice walk.. Hotel food not so good and expensive.. great pizza and kebab place up the street as if you are going to hospital.. I am still in pain now and finding it hard being on liquids but I am not hungry I think its because I am so used to socially eating its hard not too (if you know what I mean).. I am going to be honest its a big operation and not to be taken lightly, I know everyone is different but please be prepared everyone.. on the good side its a new journey and for once in my life with dieting its one I am bloody going to try my hardest at....Pain relief I am taking now is paracetamol with codeine, this is great but its awful crushing it down.. Just having a hot choc.. yum yum keep the advice coming for me ladies.. I know after 10 days I can go on to blended food, does it have to be really blended or can I just mush it with a fork? good luck everyone who is on there way :blushing:
