Hi HeatherDee, You will find it is addictive reading these forums. That can be a good thing as long as you don't eat at the same time. ha ha. I find it helps having my hands busy typing. Good luck to you.

Hi all,

I've had a whirlwind experience. I only saw my GP just over a week ago and I"m booked in for banding on the 12th Jan. I have to have a gastroscopy first and may need a hernia repair at the same time. I'm so excited. Best thing is, my surgeon doesn't want me to do the Optifast thing pre-op as he says that my waist is small - I've never had my waist being useful before! Will keep you all posted and hope that by Christmas 2008, I will be back at normal weight!

Happy New Year,

Jen
