Default Newbie just had gastric band fitted last week

Good Morning to you all.....

My name is Dianne and I have just had the gastric band fitted last week. I couldnt belive how painful it has been over this week but today it feel better.

I have to go back on wednesday to have the dressing taken off and then get weighed. I am really SCARED of the fills as I have needle phobia.... My first setting of the band will be in 8 weeks time.


Do they hurt please tell me the truth then I can prepare myself instead of trying to imagine how bad it is going to be.

I have had a weight problem now for 25 years going from 18st to 9st and in the end I couldnt take my poor health any more. My gp told me I would haveto go private and I did and wow I couldnt beoliev how much these things cost. It will take me 3 years to pay it back but in the end is there ever a price for good health and happiness?????

I hope you didnt mind me joining your group are there many people on here from the UK.

have a great weekend Dianne
