Hi and welcome to the boards.
 
Hi I'm new to this site also.

I had my Gastric Band Op last Monday 01/06/09 and everything went very well.Thankfully it was all straight forward , and no real pain.

Good luck with yours
 
get well soon

how long did you wait for your op?. please keep in touch. I would like to know how you are doing.:sign0144:
 
I paid for it myself so had no real waiting time.

I flew to Birmingham on Sunday , had the op on Monday , and flew home on Tuesday.

I was far more straight forward than I had thought and nothing to worry about at all.

I'm feeling fine now 1 week later, just tired which is to be expected.

Best of luck with your journey
 
Welcome angelpie & good luck with the op!
