Hi everyone im new.
Have been reading lots of posts and think I might be a tad unique so ill start by explaining my journey...
I've always been big not huge but met a guy 6 years ago we love food so big ended up huge!! I have dieted in the past but not very strong willed and to be fair never really been that bothered with my size or appearance. The past 18 months yes I've noticed I've got massive and my bmi was 44 and in a snug size 20. We decided time for a baby but i have pcos and am not ovulating. To get any help (even tho were paying) I'm too heavy the doctor suggests loose weight. I'm 34 and don't feel I have too much time to mess around. My sister suggested a gastric band for speed my consultation was 3 days later surgery 4 weeks later. Rash I know as it had never crossed my mind before.
I've never had an operation, anaesthetic, stitch or broken bone so this surgery has been a first for me a shocker.
Im 3 weeks in now and my scars have scabs and glue still attached and my port site is tender but im ok. Thought the glue would be off by now? Im on my sloppy food stage and cottage pie never tasted so good haha.
Ive lost 6lbs since op day was suprised at this as not eaten much. I have a fill booked for 8/10 which im glad about as getting hungry now.
