Hello

[Zara 1984]

Hi,
I am having surgery tomorrow Gastric band And wondering if any one is around to give me their experiences
I have had a lot of negative comments from people suggesting I will put the weight back on and stretch the band.
This is really worrying me, surely the whole idea of having the band is to stop overeating, or is it just people going back to bad habits and eating rubbish even in small quantities
Look forward to hearing your stories

Oh dear, don't let this put you off.

First of all you can't stretch a band. You 'can' over eat and cause damage that way but why would you do that?

Things can and do go wrong with all surgeries and this can be due to people not following the rules.

Have a look aroung the threads in the band section and good luck x

People can be awful sometimes! You must do what's right for you I'm sure you've done your research know all about the positives and negatives but like I said before do what's right for you
All the best for tomorrow x
