First stage appointment ;)

[Shabbs12]

Hi everyone!
Well I have finally decided that I am going to go a head and have a Gastric Band (it was this or the bypass)
I have my date for next Friday for the bloods ETC
Really can't wait to have my surgery now, I am a little scared but need to do this if I want any chance of happiness as I have really have had enough of being 10 stone over weight with no confidence and really not enjoying life!

I felt as you did not that long ago. Although I'd considered WLS for 7+ years I finally made the call in July, a few weeks later I was having my surgery and am now 3 weeks post op.

I knew it was the only way that I could lose, but also maintain the loss, with 14 stones to lose (just over 2 gone in the past 5 weeks) I have the most hope I've ever had . . .

Wishing you well!

Welcome and good luck. It took me two years to finally opt for the band, following a lifetime of being overweight. It was definitely worth it. Looking forward to reading your updates

Hi Kirstyjade looks like things are happening very quick for you, that's what I am hoping I just want it done now before I chicken out ha ha!
Pretty soon you will have a lot less to lose I'm worried about the op too but I think being this over weight will do more damage you know!
Good luck hun keep me posted X
