Hi all,
I was wondering if any of you could answer the following questions ... not sure if I trust the salesman type people at the hospital group!!
So here goes ...there are alot of them!!
1. I am worried that I use food as a crutch and therefore I am going to find this very hard emotionally ....has anyone else thought this and how have they got through it?
2. What happens if I can't stick to the pre-op diet?
3. I am going on holiday in April - how soon after the surgery can I fly and can I fly if the band is inflated?
4. I love diet coke and I think I am going to have to give it up ...what happens if you drink it with the band in?
5. Do people lose weight without exercise or is it necessary to exercise as well?
6. I eat when I am not hungry - probably the emotional thing again and also sometimes boredom. Will the band stop this?
7. In general is it an overnight stay in hospital or are you discharged the same day. How long before you were up on your feet again after the op?
8. How many fills did you have to have to get it right and how did they make you feel.
Thanks again in advance. I would also like to find a "buddy" who is going to do this so perhaps we can chat and go through the whole thing together.
