  1. :hungry: i HAVE ACTUALLY GAINED 1ST SINCE BANDED 2 YEARS AGO AND FOR ME IT HAS BEEN A WASTE OF MONEY... I CAN STILL EAT LOTS OF CHOCOLATE AND OTHER SATURATED FATS AND I WOULD NEVER EVER HAVE HAD IT PUT IN IF i HAD KNOWN IT WOULD NOT REDUCE MY CRAVING FOR THE SATURATED FATS:help:
  2. :cry I have been banded a year last July and was 20st when I had the op, now I am 20st, so have not lost anything, apart from the post op fluid regime. When I had my consultation, I told the Dr I had an eating disorder and especially with chocolate. He told me that I would feel sated quickly and there fore would eat less, however, I can eat all the chocolate I want, however have restrictions, on the foods I am supposed to eat, like chicken, etc. So does the band fail many people? do people end up having it removed? What does one do in a case like mine and in actual fact with another person I know, who has all so the same problems.

  4. Hello I am from England and belong to the uk wlsoinfo site and this is a posting i posted there, in response to something very disturbing that happened to me from my private clinic. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I THOUGHT I WOULD DRAW EVERY ONES ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING, I WAS ASKED TO CONTACT DOLAN PARK TO SPEAK TO THE NURSE, WHICH I HAVE JUST DONE, I WAS THEN TOLD BY THE NURSE THAT MR SUPER HAD SEEN MY POSTING ABOUT ME EATING chips AND THERE FOR HE HAS NOT HAPPY, THAT I HAD NOT STUCK TO THE BAND PROTOCOL AND IF I HAVE ANY BAND SLIPPAGE, HE WILL NOT TREAT ME.I SUBSQUENTLY WAS CALLED BY THE OBESITY COORDINATOR(A NON MEDICAL PERSON) WHO STATES SHE CAN DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT MY TREATMENT CONTUINES AND I WAS TREADING ON VERY DANDERGOUS GROUND. I WAS UNAWARE THAT THIS SITE WAS AN OFFICAL NHS WEB SITE AND WAS BEING USED AS AN OUT PATIENT BY SURGEONS. I THOUGHT THIS SITE WAS WHERE PEOPLE CAN AIR THEIR FEARS AND THEIR ANXIETIES ABOUT THEIR PROCEDURES AND FEEL PEOPLE SHOULD BE AWARE THAT WHAT EVER THEY POST, CAN BE AND IS USED AGAINST THEM BY THEIR SURGEONS. I HAVE ASKED THE COORDINATOR TO WRITE TO ME AND TELL ME THAT WHAT WAS POSTED, ON WHAT IS I THOUGHT AN UNOFFICAL WEB SITE IS SUBSQUENTLY USED BY THE SURGEON,TO DECIDE ON WHETHER HE TREATS ONE OR NOT. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN EVERY ONE ELSES THOUGHTS ON THE ABOVE AND WHEN THEY HAVE CHEATED, DID THEY KNOW THAT THIS SITE CAN BE USED BY YOUR SURGEON ON ANY SUBSQUENT TREATMENT., --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    what shall I eat now

    I am so pleased I have found this site , thamks for the advise, yes please the picy would be better sized down. I have had one appt since my surgery and that was with the nurse, I have been told to have 3 small meals a day of half a cup of food? Needless to say I am always hungry. I find I burp a lot and my weight loss has remained status quo with no weight loss. I am dissappointed as i envisaged a greater effect on my eating and of feeling hungry. Here they do not do fills until 3 months after the surgery and we get 2 free fills then we have to pay for it thereafter.
