Hi everyone,
I'm very new here, have been waiting for a date for my band, had the pre op.date through for next week. They suddenly rang on Friday and offered the date of the 28th, so it begins!!
Just wanted to say hello

We can count down the days together!
Am on my 5th large milky coffee - think I will be 'mooing' by the time the 28th gets here. Do you have to do yours for a week? There seems to be lots of different pre op diets from reading all the different posts. If I get desperate I have an alternative one that has got a small amount of chicken and egg in it, but I want to try to stick to the milk one if I can to shrink my liver as much as possible, give the surgeon plenty of room for a good old rummage
Hi Leila
I am in Sheffield. I have started pre op diet today - 3 pints of milk and 2 yoghurts - yum yum
Where are you having yours done? How are you feeling?

Hi Leila
Have been considering the surgery for over a year now, spoke to my GP but I do not meet the criteria for local PCT, so have had to pursue the private route. It has been fairly quick, I went for consultation 2 weeks ago and am booked in for next week, so 3 week from start to finish! Been for my pre-op today and met the surgeon, he is really nice. Have you been waiting long for your date?
Wanting to lose about 9 stone in total - that would get me within a healthy BMI - hope the loss also helps my blood pressure come down.
At the minute I am excited - got a bad headache though - need more water lol!
How are you doing today? Have you got a goal weight you want to loose?

Hi Justine
I decided to go for it in January, my GP was great and its all been really quick (in NHS terms!!) So only waiting.properly about 2 1/2 months for op date.
How's the diet now you're a little further in? Feeling nervous about anything?
I want to be quite muscly, rather than slim, but still need to lose about 15 stone, can't wait to get started!
I'm ok today, last day of freedom before pre op diet, so wish me luck going in to it tomorrow! Did you have to have that swallow reflex test where they check the pressure? Heard it's not pleasant!

(Only a week to go!
Hiya Leila
How has your first day gone? Are you ok? Your GP sounds great - that's not a long wait time compared with some of the stories I have read on here.
Didn't have to do any reflux test - blood pressure checked, weighed and measured. Also measured calf for sexy surgical stockings!! I was mortified, I hadn't shaved my legs! LOL!!
Had a bit of a bad day today - had to take my other half to A & E in middle of night as he had injured his eye at work yesterday and it got really bad very quickly, so spent 4 hours waiting to get sorted. Knock effect is I am very mardy and tired and cold and hungry :cry:- so treated myself to an extra yoghurt -I know how to live dangerously!
So early night for me along with my last milky coffee of the day.
Be good!
