I have my first appointment with a Endocrinologist on 9th Sept to start the ball rolling on my Lap band Surgery. He will assess me to see if there are any other barriers to me losing weight(other than gorging and stuffing my face) like thyroid & diabetes,which I do not have by the way.
He will also put me on the dreaded Optifast diet prior to having surgery, they do this to reduce the size of the liver which makes the surgery easier and of course less weight lessens any complications with the anaesthetic
I've decided I'm going to start a new blog for this new journey and give you all a blow by blow account - warts and all of my experience. I've decided to do this so I have a record of this and maybe it may help other people decide if this is the right thing for them.
I have a surgery date of 21st November, so fingers crossed all goes well for me to have this.
WELL DAMN

Glad things are in motion. I look forward to reading all about your new journey. Take care and fingers crossed!
All the best for your doctors appointment...
Let's see the whole thing through together!
I have just recently visited my endocrinologist and I have to have a colonoscopy. Joy... good thing they are putting me out for that thing. Perhaps I should inquire about a lap band myself. Keep us posted.
