      Hi, it's not actually a tube, it was a cotton wool pack (basically like a tampon lol) up my nostril to stop my nose bleeding everywhere! Don't worry I weighed less than 8 stone before my surgery, and although I have lost weight I don't think it's had any bad effect on my recovery. The bands I've got at the moment are looser than the ones I had last week so I guess that each time they change them (which seems to be each week) they get a bit looser. Yeah I could talk as soon as I got out of surgery! I think the only thing that stops you from talking is the bands cos they hold your teeth together. I was between jobs when I had my surgery, but I think you'd need about a month off. I think you'll be feeling ok by Christmas, but I'm not sure if you'll be chewing by then cos they say you can't chew until 6 weeks post-op, so I'm afraid it may be a mushed up Christmas dinner for you! If you want to ask me any questions feel free, I know when I was researching this most blogs are American and it's hard to find out about the NHS process. If you want to ask me anything you can email me at SarahF1407@aol.com
