hi all. we are also going to doolan park on aug 29th for our gastric banding with dr sigurdson. We are with wga, we have been told by to be there for 7 am. The hospital advisor told us on the phone that there were 7 people booked in for the band on this day( sounds like most of us are on this forum LOL),she said that each op took 30 mins to perform. we would have blood tests etc on arrival and then we will be told where abouts we are on the list. I am nervous and excited !!
My daughter went into this hospital 4 weeks ago to have a boob job ( it was her that put us onto the hospital. she went with the hospital group which is the same people as wga..same consultants, same advisors same hospitals etc.only difference is the amount of after care you get)
she said the hospital was excellent, the bedrooms, were like a 5 star hotel, food was great although abviously that wont apply to us !!The only bad comment she had was that it was a little like a conveyer belt when you first arrived with everyone waiting to get seen and you didnt get to go to your room until you had been down to theatre so the poor folks last on the list were waiting in reception area all day.
I have been greatly put at ease after finding this site and reading about others experiences. my biggest fear is that it wont work and that i wont lose anyweight. We were told not to do the pre op diet and just carry eating as normal this was because our bmi wasnt considered by dr siggurdsson as too high, ( my daughters is 32 and mine is 35) i consider my self very overweight for my height( 5ft 2 inch and a size 20 weigh 14.6 stone. So reading about the horrid pre op diet i consider myself lucky not to have to do it.
Well thats my introduction to the site, im off now to read more of the posts.

thanks, if i have followed it ok, it will be showing now ??
hi, they will not cancel your operation i was dreadful and eat all the time on the pre op diet, relax if you have read my experience then that really will have given you a blow by blow of what to expect , just be prepared for the wind pain that was the worst bit for me.
let us know how it went when you can
goooooooooooooooooood luck

Hiya,
Wanted to say hi as you sound very similar to me. I am also a 39 year old single mum, boy who will be 3 next month and girl of 11.
I had a band fitted 2 and a half years ago. I lost 8 stone my first year but nothing since. I have maintained that loss though which is brilliant for me! I still have around 4 stone to lose so I have just started on the cambridge diet to try and kickstart the loss again.
I wish you all the luck in the world. If you have any questions about banding just give me a yell!
