*This is the 2nd time I posted this, think I put it in the wrong section*

Hi everyone, my name is Kate, im new to this and very nervous

I have 3 children and with each child the weight just piled on and it has now got to the stage where I just dont enjoy life anymore

My husband is fantastic and VERY supportive, I think he is more nervous about the op than me

I'm 14st 10 (on last check) :sigh: and dying to be back to 9 stone, my life just isn't my own anymore, my weight is taking over, I wont go out incase I bump into people I havn't seen in years cos I know they will be shocked at the size I am (I would be)

I booked my operation on Tuesday night, I have my consultation next saturday and then flying to Birmingham the following Friday to have my op on the Sat, Dr Paul Super will be my surgeon and I am meeting him next week, I cant wait

Have any of you on here had the Lap Band and how have you found it, has it been the answer to your problems, I would just love to speak to people who are or have been in the same boat as me

Sorry for going on a bit, I tend to do that with nerves

hi kate, welcome to minis, im a bander of 4 years and its changed my life in many ways, not just health wise but emotionally as well, as i was depressed with being over weight for many years.

good luck on your weight loss journey.

Hi Yummy, I'm a bander of just over 3 weeks and wonder why I did'nt have it before. No regrets at all and looking forward to my 1st fill so the weight loss will be even better.

Hi and welcome to minis there are loads of lovely friendly people on here all going through the same things (which is fantastic). I haven't had surgery yet but hoping I will get funding tomorrow for a gastric bypass. Good luck with your op and take care.

Welcome to the site and best of luck with your op.

I haven't had any surgery but am hoping for a gastric band in the future. I weigh the same as you!

Hi Cakeybun, My God you have lost 2 st in 2 months thats amazing, I hope I do that well, how are you finding it, is it tough and I dont really want to know but I sort of do.....do you be in much pain after the op and for how long, I have had 2 sections so I do know what pain is but im still scared of it
