Hi everyone

my name is James and I am a lap band virgin, well until tomorrow at least, my surgery is scheduled for around 10.00 am Hong Kong time in Cebu Doctors Hospital in the Philippines.

I am 45 and from the UK and I am currently in the Philippines and my surgery is tomorrow, the liquid diet has killed me, all the good food here and I am on clear soup and shakes,

Mind you the fruits and noodles etc after will be great and the sun will help me shine and feel fitter

James

Good luck for tomorrow, from a fellow Brit!

Woow I am back from surgery, three days and I am shopping, walking and even smiling, and a wacking 20 lbs since the pre op diet already,. god was I a fat guy, thank you for the good wishes,

I can suggest to anyone considering lap bands but put off by the cost to try the Philippines, I got mine in well under £3,000 plus flight so was a very happy man, I am staying at my own place here in cebu for a few weeks before flying back to the Uk and am set for that target of 60 lbs by Christmas,

Thank you all again, I am pleased to be a loser
