worried - banding 9th November 06

[Guest guest]

Hi there, i am new to this group, my name is Barbara and i am

supposed to be having my banding on Thursday 9th November. However

have developed a viral infection and doctor given me an antibiodic

and has put me off work. He is hoping that we can lick this before

thursday.

i live in and work in Mt Druitt and would love to chat with any one

that has either just been banded or is being banded out this way.

I am nervous and hope that i have made the right decision, at the

beginning of going on Tony Ferguson i weighted, 125KG, have been on

it approx 5 weeks and have dropped to 115KG. its given me a kick

start and i have found it easy to do, my daughter took over cooking

my tea ready for me when i come home, which allows me to eat my tea

then cook my husbands unhealty meals that he will only eat. I know

that i am now doing ok with what to eat, i think we have all been

conditioned to grab a sandwich at lunch time, in my case sometimes

2. Since doing TF i realise that i used to consume far too much

carbohydrates.

thanks for allowing me to join this group and i lookforward to

meeting many new friens

kind regards

Welcome Barb and congratulations on being 10kg down already! We have

another member (julie_andrews84) being banded on Thursday also so

you'll be able to progress through your journey together.

I know it's easier said than done, but try not to be too nervous. I'm

sure you have chosen a good surgeon with lots of experience. I was

only the 3rd person to be banded my surgeon but he is great and I was

not nervous at all!

Good luck. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with. The

other members will also offer you lots of advice and support from all

their different experiences.

Good luck!
