Hi Folks

Saw my surgeon this morning,Mr Smellie at chelsea and westminster and he has booked me in for 14th oct !!!! so happy, but he also terrified me with the statistics,apparently there is as much as 1 fatality in 200 with the band, and now it`s a double edged sword, so happy to finaly have my date, but now for the 1st time am wondering if i`m doing the right thing.i have a BMI of 36 so at lower end of scale,just cold feet maybe. i had an MRSA swab taken aswell is this normal ? and am now on a mega diet till surgery, does anyone have any tips ?
Thanks for your time xxxxxx:p

Great news not long to go now. MRSA swabs are normal. It's also normal to feel nervous bit excited too. I was classed as one of the little ones as the surgeon put it and he did say that the risks are lower generally. I didn't have to do the pre op diet as i was contacted only 1 day before my surgery to say they had a cancellation. there are lots of others though on here who have done the diet sure they will be able to offer you some advice. good luck x
 
oh congratulations i had mrsa swab taken as well, i was convinced i was gona die i think its normal but the staff are so highly trained you dont have to worry they dont leave you for a min you probably getter better care than any other department in the hospital
 
Congratulations on getting a date! I had MRSA swabs, was panicking over that as I have psoriasis so it was a relief when it came back negative!

I was a high risk for surgery, and was convinced I wouldn't come through it. I had a great time of it, no problems and have recovered really well. So it goes to show what statistics mean!
 
hi bells
i was the same as you i was convinced i wouldnt see my family again i think its just natural instinct hun.
my op was great just the wind trapped in my chest..
i had it 3weeks ago and no regrets.
my bmi is about 35-36 so i was on the lesser side also..
i stuck to slimfast shakes and yogurts for a week pre op..

awwwww

Aww thanks. means such alot to speak to people in the same boat, all my freinds think i'm barking mad !!! just going to ask my hubby to take some photos of me in my bra and pants (poor sod!):) so i can see what i was like from a month before my op (now) then at pre op diet to after op,might just have a little vodka shot to help me on my wobbly way......
 
It's natural to feel nervous but just think of the results after. MMMMMMUM vodka now might just have to have one too!!! x
