in 2 days i fly out to belguim

[Maura]

oh cant belive it... i fly out on tuesday (2 days) and my op on wed. i am so nervous. the thought of being put out under anaesthetic. i know this is something that has to be done. i want my happiness back. what a journey to go through tho! tomoro will be my last blog until i am a bandit... arghhhh. afraid of the pain that i may endure. will buy the neurofen meltlets tomorrow (melt on tongue pain relief). i will enquire what sort of mouth sprays i can take as i know i will be Nil by mouth. reading everyone elses diaries is inspiring, but reality is setting in. I am going to be Banded and its scary .... all your lovely comments really do keep me going... talk soon xx:wave_cry:

Good luck! You're going to be fine, you're having the same thoughts and fears most of us have before hand! It's all very fresh in my mind still. I'm so glad I went to Belgium for mine!

Good luck, you will be fine. I had the same surgeon when I had my band operation, unfortunately i have had this removed and am due to have a gastric wrap in 2 weeks, but I must say i can definitely recommend him, he was nothing but professional and I really felt looked after. x
