Hi Suepro many thanks for your help. Poss having band done this week with Paul Super but getting a bit scared now, read that a few had had their hair fall out and read also that my bmi is not high enough for the band. Not sure what to do.

Mr Super has an excellent reputation, you will be in very good hands with him. If he has accepted you for surgery then your BMI is high enough. For a private patient the guidelines are BMI over 35 to have a band, although sometimes people who start at 35 are a lower BMI by the time of the op if they have been on a pre op diet.

Good luck, hope it all goes well. I started at BMI 41 and how have a BMI of 24.5 I weigh 10st 10lbs which I never dreamed possible a year ago.

Hi Suepro, well done that is a fantastic result. Would you mind if I keep in touch via this site. I am not sure how to use the site fully and it was by pure accident I managed to post anything. Not yet been accepted bmi is 30.4 I think. Emma said it would be ok. I am so desperate to get rid of this weight. I just want to feel human again, if that makes any sense.

Appoint with Dr Ashton today. I have not told anyone except my OH about this and I would like to keep it that way for now. I know my mates will try and talk me out of it and my family would be so horrified (sisters both slim).

Many thanks again.
