Hi I'm new

[Wendywoo2301]

Hi due to have a band on Thursday, getting a bit worried now, I have been doing a bit of reading up tonight and have seen some negative info about THG. I have found the info on here very reassuring though

Thought it would be good to have a bit of a support network, as nobody really knows what I'm having done, I felt like I would be judged, so have kept it quiet. xx

Hi Wendy

Welcome to WLS!

Yeah its pretty good - we've all going/have been through the same thing and probably heard it all before so you've come to the right place for support!

Where abouts will you be getting your op?

Welcome Wendy!! I had my band a month ago with THG and have no complaints so far, but everyone's experiences are so different. I also have kept it quiet it's a personal choice and the right one for me right now xx

Hi Wendy

I had a band done sat 12th with THG Mr Halstead, no complaints at all. Everything to do with op went great and nurses at Dolan Park take really good care of you. I've been in more pain after op than I expected to be but everyone is different and think I'm a bit of a wimp! Lol. It is getting easier each day though. The only person that knows about my op is my hubby. Good luck with your op x

Hi everyone. Sat in hospital now, any help I had my op at 12:30, needed to wee at 15:00 and still not managed to go properly. Getting a bit worried the nurses just keep telling me to drink more. I've tried the running water, hand under water, deep breathing, pushing on my pelvic wall. But I'm concerned as I straining to try and go, am I going to mess up the band?

 

[Gastricband]

Oh no

Have u managed to go Wendy? :/

 

[Wendywoo2301]

No not really, but I'm unsure if i cant go now now cos Ive not drank enough since I've been trying, as my body has been trying to go every 10 mins!!! I'm just concerned as they want to discharge me in an hour!

Welcome to the site Wendy and I hope all is well, you managed to go in the end and they discharged you! Good luck on your journey x x
