This blog is an open and frank (as frank as I can bear at least) account of my physical, emotional and cognitive experience of losing weight with the aid of a gastric band; and, having shed the weight, my efforts at weight maintenance and my experience of living as a slimmer woman.

Going to have band fully aspirated!
A nurse from THG phoned me today to talk through pre-surgery "stuff". All good as far as my health is concerned and no issues with my having the breast uplift surgery on 24th July :D. I will need my band to be emptied prior to the surgery however.
It is to do with the anaesthetic and possible complications resulting from acid getting stuck above the band in the oesophagus whilst unconscious etc. Damage to oesophagus is not something I want nor is the possibility of acid making its way into my lungs and causing havoc for my post surgery recovery...
I am curious as to how I will feel with an empty band. I guess I will learn just how much the band is dimming my hunger.
I am booked in to have the band fully aspirated on 22nd July (two days before my surgery).
I'll let you know how I get on :)
P.S. I paid off the balance for my surgery a couple of days ago - my new titties are definitely going to happen!!!
