BlueStarzUK 0 Posted May 16, 2008 :confused2:I am just going through all the waiting at the moment to find out if I can get the lapband..I have seen everyone I need to see and done everything that I was told to do and have been told by everyone there that I am an ideal candidate for surgery....Until I get my letter though, telling me that I am going to get it I won't believe anyone! I have waited for a long time to get this and I am so scared of believing I will only to be told I can't. I hope it won't be too much longer before I know for sure..For now though I am coming on here to find out about other peoples experiences, hope and dreams, helping with advice or support if it's needed and hopefully getting the same, when (Positive thinking!:thumbup:) I get told that I can have it done!:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
