Hi!!
I am new too, but not as far advanced with things as you, i have only just received funding from my local PCT and am awaiting an appointment at Birmingham hospital to come through. Can you tell me how long it took from your initial appointment with your hospital to them setting a date of the op?? And y did you choose the gastric band rather than by-pass, did you look at both options??
Sorry to hear you are struggling with the pre-op diet, but think of what you will achieve after you have the op, i know thats easy for me to say as im not doing the pre-op diet yet! But, day 2 and nearly day 3 - a day at a time and soon you will be there, and if you remember all them diets you must have tried in the past like me were always worse day 2-3 - take care, stay in touch and let me know how it all goes as it would be great to hear your experiences, good and bad xxxBig Love!!
