Hello, I am hoping to canvass some opinions (please!)
After 3 yrs of will I/ won't I, I have decided to get the band. I will be going private. Now I have made the decision, I want it done asap. However, I have a week in Spain booked 30th May and then a mini break 12-15 July. Due to this, I have reluctantly decided I will have to wait til the end of July allowing for these breaks and the liver shrinkage diet which I would hope to start 16 July. I am seeing the surgeon for consultation 16 June.
I toyed with the idea of having it done before these breaks but I think I'm better getting them out of the way and enjoying the hotel buffet etc without worrying about the post op diet.
On the other hand, I am worried I will start acting like the condemned woman and eating everything in sight thus gaining more weight before the op! I also see it as a last hurrah before getting stuck into the new way of life..
Do you think I'm right to wait?!
