  1. So I had a gastric band in 2004 and lost 11 stone then in 2010 I lost it and regained half the weight so I had a gastric wrap and it was biggest waste of money I didn't loose a lb. the dr was a butcher. ( that's another story) anyway in 2011/12 I got another band in and the dr said it was difficult to get in. I got ill in 2013 and that band was also removed. I went last week to try get any other surgery as all diet and exercise had failed and bypass seamed my only option. Now there saying I might not be able to have it. I have to have a barium meal Please god let this go ahead as I'm very depressed about my weight and I have fully regained every last lb and more. Rant over xxx
  2. Oh and I gained just over 10 stone.
  3. Good news I'm getting a mini bypass this September x
  4. I'M in south of Ireland and having op in sept. Anyone with me?
  5. Thanks everyone. I just hope I don't keep putting it on x
  6. No have to say Belgium is spot on. I'd 100% recommend them over there. Defo worth the price diff
  7. I had 2 bands. First I got in Paris and had it 8 years and lost 13 stone. Had it removed cos I thought I didn't need it. Gained 8 stone on just over the year 2nd band I only got in last year. And only lost 3 of the 8 stone so I still have 5 to go but I'd be happy with 3. So scared il be 23 stone again.
  8. No I'm in Ireland we don't have much backup. There is no plan for me. I don't have any more money for any other operation so diet and exercise are now my only option. I thought sticking to the likes of slimming world would work but it's not and I'm afraid if I keep at it I'll just gain and gain
  9. Hi all I had my band removed 4 weeks ago I have gained 1 stone roughly since it was removed I have been on the slimming world plan but still gaining. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions would be great.
