My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

Operation is booked

After seeing the surgeon on Saturday, i was very impressed. He was so informative, very through and i felt very comfortable with him. V came in with me and he too felt very happy after the consult for me to go ahead with the surgery.

I will be having the lap band done on the 7th of August, not long really. Ive stoped taking the orlistat as it has been making me feel so ill, the pain ive had in my bowels and abdomen has been awful. So the surgeon just told me to eat sensibily for till i have the operation. to cut down on the amount of sugar i take in, which to be honest is quite low any way.

I know for me this operation is giving me a chance to get my life back. I know there is a 10% failure rate, mainly people who tend to snack on biscuits and sweets. so i am making a pledge now once the op has been done i will avoid them. Ive already cut out all the choccys i love. Cant remember the last time i ate any.

My back is aching today from sitting in the car for the journey to Manchester and back, then travelling up to Durham again to get the kids yesterday.

Im cracking on already with my next lot of course work as i need to get ahead as my next assignment is due when we are in London for the interviews with the oz army.

Ive got heaps to do so best crack on

Best of Luck

Wishing you success on your surgery and the quest to lose weight. Lots of big adjustments to be made for the entire family in regards to diet and nutrition. For some of my friends it has been a wonderful success.

Good Luck Sweetie!

I'm sure you will be fine and that this will be the success for you. I still hope to manage to see you before I go to UAE. Will try to catch up before your op just in case you don't feel up to it after wards.

Take Care
Love
