Live in Ireland & Done in Ireland

Hey guys I had my band fitted in Dublin with the Park West Clinic ... I can't say enough good things about them ;)

Price was great and no hassle having it done just pay and go lol x

I'm hoping to find fellow Irish Bander's on here for chats on the up & downs of living with our bands ... I'm only 8 weeks banded so still at the learning stages so all advice welcome ...

Hi

I had my band fitted with ACS in 2007 and we all know how that turned out!! Anyway I have been getting after care from ECFS who come here twice a month however it now looks like my band is not working, its at maximum restriction but I can eat three times the amount I used to eat a year ago and I have put a stone back on. Feel sick at the thought of all that work I put in going to waste and I will end up putting it all back on. ECFS think my band needs to be replaced and have offered my a good price, my previous surgeon (with ACS) offered to replace the band for €5,000 but I am worried about going abroad, Auralia in Dublin have quoted a price of €7,500 with a band that has been medically approved with a year's after care.

I was just wondering what bandsters think, my family don't understand how important it is to me, that I don't put this weight back on also I had hoped to loose another 3 stone before this happened.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
