Anyone from the UK!?

[GemGem 0]

Hey,

I was banded on Saturday 8th November and I am just looking for someone in the UK to bounce questions off. Maybe someone who has recently been banded too. Not many people know about the op so it's hard to vent to no-one!

If there is anyone about, drop me a message.

Thanks,

Gem

Hi Gem,

I'm in the UK and have my band op scheduled for 18th Dec so I probably won't be much help as you're a few weeks ahead of me in this weird journey.

It's good to know there's other peeps on here from the UK though as the US version of the process seems to be a bit different.

Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?

Where did you get banded? My op is booked with The Hopsital Group at Dolan in Bromsgrove.

Who was your surgeon?

How long was it before you were back to work (or equivalent)?

Did it hurt much?

How long were you on your pre-op diet and did you do the Yog/Milk thing or the 1000kcal diet?

Hope you don't think I'm being cheeky asking so many questions!

thanks
