Not a good day then, you psyche yourself up so much for surgery and then to have it cancelled is not good. Hope you get it done very soon xxxxx

I'd have kicked of big time, i know the pre op nerves you must have gone through, plus the agony of the pre op diet, its just not good enough

Hope it works out for you next week

Oh, that is so disappointing for you, mate

I am very sorry to hear you've been bumped back on the list, but I am sure Christine will do everything she can to get you in - she and Jo are brill and will do everything they can to help.

Glad you didn't reach for the crisps... that would have made you feel even worse. Like you said, have soup and then hop back on the milk once you get your new date.

Chin up and think of the fab weightloss so far... not to mention what you will lose once you get that band fitted!
