I got banded on the 26th June, i had a bit of of a rough time wit it but that was only cos i'm not great with anaesthesia and i never told them so i didn;t get the medication i should have. apart from that i got some should pain from the gas they out into you when you get it done via key hole surgery. you were asking about the fill, the fill is when they put saline into the band to tighten it, untill you get to a spot that you've got the right amount of restriction. i've had 2 fill and i think i'm done now for a while cos i can not eat much about ACS, i've nothing really against it except when i go to there office in dublin i'm aways left waiting ages, supose it like anything in dublin!!!! if there is anythhing else you want to know call me or email. MARCYINAK, i press on one of the other pages my accident like 40 or so pages back and i saw your tatoo. its so cool! where exactly is it on your body? can you believe i missed that i dont know how i did it. i read the pages b4 and after it and i had missed lots . i'm going to see about getting my girlfriend to let me book the time we go there, i'll try get it around the time your there cos after al that is around the time were going! LYNETTE, the other night i sat at the computer and waited for a reply for 30 mins. it was telling me that you were writing but i didn't receive any messages. afterwards i said your probably tlaking to someone else so i said my good nights. Again another strange thing happening. for everyone, hi how you guys doing? hope all is well with everyone. i hoe Sunny is shining brightly. question for all. HAS ANYONE BEEN GETTING BRUISES?? i've got bruises on my arms back of my legs and my hip. i never get bruises so this is unusal for me ?? has anyone else been getting them? i'm still very restricted, b4 i i Used to be able to eat 6 or 7 chicken wings with a bowl of chips or fries to you guys now i can only manage to eat one wing i tried eating another one and i knew i shouldn't have,,,,, next of all i am ill for 2 hours. PLEASE DO NOT PUSH YOURSELF WITH FOOD IF YOU THINK YOUR FULL STOP EATING NO MATTER HOW LITTLE IT IS. HOPE ALL MY LITTLE SAUSAGES ARE HAVING A GOOD DAY!! XX

Sarah, thats Such a pretty name! Kathy I couldn't think of 2 nicer words for her to say at the start. Sarah sounds like a right little fighter and very strong willed little girl. do you bring her to physo to help her muscles my friend has a baby with Cerebral Palsy but she has by the sounds of it a lot worst than Sarah and it ha help her little one heaps and bounds !! I'm on the fence with Adam, i need time to think about whats best for ME. sounds like your doing great at moment. i can walk i'm so tired from the gym. !!! she said i'm doing great i feel like i'm getting worst Aunty Phyl 14.5 lbs thats fab. congratulations! about the coffee althought i dont drink a lot i'd really miss my odd shots of espresso!!

Cazulay, babes i really dont think you have to worry. i was put on to mushy on day 2 and solids after a week and i dont consider olives to be solid and shredded parmesan (my favourte) to be solid once you chew the olives well and it does not sound like they got stuck, your grand. but thats only my little opinion for what it counts. thats fab that your join the fitness center. i was thinking of joining curves how do you find it? its 3x3 times a week isn't it??

Kristin, I've been fill twice! fist one didn't really work and the second one, my gosh it has worked if anything its worked too much. i can hardly eat 2oz without getting sick. i'm hoping that it will ease down over the next week but not that it will ease too much!!!!! i've now got 5cc in a 7cc band! i've heard from the other people who have the band i have that 5cc is around the mark where you feel restricted... i'm down 22lbs the weight loss has totally slowed down, i'm hoping if i can manage 2lb a week i'll be so happy!!

a model your so funny!!!!! my port is sore from laughing so much !!! I'm not worried about Annafrancesca at all! She has 2 parents who loves her more than life its-self. there isn't a thing that Adam or I wouldn't do for her. i've accepted that now. I'm concerned about me and my life for now. i think i;m going to leave it till september after i come home from italy. right now i have not energy to deal with this i'm working too long of hours and i want to go to italy and enjoy myself. i really wish i hadn't have seen that web-site till after my holidays!!! I will email you thanks for the offer. i hope Nicole is feeling better real soon, Tell Clarissa my house is always open to her if she ever get to College of here. its wide opened to you all. xx what food is this? i've never heard of it?

thanks for sharing babes and i'm so happy for you now. its so much harder to do something than say it. xx i told no-one apart from my mother (big mistake i feel under pressure to loose weight with her) and AdAm, at the start he was a pain in the ass but now apart from my other situation he's been ok. I have a support group here that we meet up with and i can call then and with out then i would go crazy cos i love this site more than anything but sometimes i just wanna talk and not write. you'll know whats best for you if you can trust people to tell them, i'd be afraid that they would tell others .. where is my momma? i haven't heard from here in ages!! hope your well! xx

hey Kathy!! the paycheck thing is so sad i totally agree, but that is the way Adam is. we were brought up in two very different world, i've always been comfortable with parents who i did not get on with him they always push me to have better. Adam has always settled and thats where we clash. When we met i gave up everything to be with him, Nice car , having my own business (MY FOLKS WERE GOING TO HELP ME GET SORTED NOT ANY MORE THUOUGHT!!) and a nice bank account. at least i got Annafrancesca for my troubles !!!!

firstly and most inportant thanks for all your advice i really mean it, Danny ,Lynette is right i love having a male's input... So when he came in from work i laid it out on the table to him totally calm asked why i wasn't on his site and also why he never told me. I ask him was he ashamed of me, there are lots of pics of him baby our holidays to cuba but guess what none of me. he siad he didn't tell me cos i'd act like i am now. the only reason i'm like this is cos he hid it from me. he can't understand that at all. he said there is no pic of me cos i delete all the pic of myself cos i dont like them. i laught at this cos he could have used my bebo pic. or one of me and the baby. or how about our holiday to cuba, just a few taughts... anyways i had a bag packed for him, he would not go. he said he'll go at the end of the month when he gets paid. DID YOU HEAR THAT!!! He then told me that he feels like we dont have a relationship most of the time i feel the same, i said we both deserve to be happy and he says BUT I AM HAPPY. .. sorry but who is he kidding!! anyways thats it. subject closed i can not bring you guys or myself down anymore. thanks for listening and sorry to bore you. love you all xxxxxxxx
