Are you one of the many who's terrified of having surgery?
Hundreds are just too scared yet hate being fat... what scares you? And how do you feel about diets - can they ever be as effective and long-lasting? ...

This is my story
I started gaining weight when i left home at 19, gained several stone with each child (3) and then some! Reached my heaviest 20st7lbs. August 2008 my mum died and i decided that life was too short to be fat and unhappy forever so i decided to have a gastric band. My op is booked for tomorrow - 29th October 08 - and im scared!!
I dont want to spend ages looking for a place to park as close as i can to where i need to go so i don't have to walk too far, I dont want to avoid places with lots of steps or hills, i don't want to have to ask for a seatbelt extension again when i get on a plane, dont want to miss out on go-karting with my partner and daughter, telling them i don't really like karting and watching them enviously from the sidelines, i dont want to worry when i walk into a cafe - will i be able to squeeze through there? will that little bistro chair hold my weight? i dont want to tell the waitress i dont want to sit in the booth with the fixed table and chair because it digs into my tummy - i dont want to buy all my clothes from Evans or Ann Harvey
I want to run with the dog, race after my grandson, go on fairground rides, shop in Dorothy Perkins, Warehouse - anywhere that doesnt scream 'shop for fat people!!'
I want to live again!
