  1. Hi Fleur everyone is different therefore have different experiences. I have had times when i have struggled and thought wot have i done to myself......but i look at it now and KNOW that this is the best decision i have made in regard to weight loss and i love my band. If i didnt get this band i wouldv gained easily another 5 or 10kg by now....but instead i have lost 22kg:). The first 5 days after surgery were a little painful but the pain was bearable. It is nothing like wot some people make it out to be and i tho it was a breeze:). As for vomiting.....yes this has happened to me a few times and that was because i didnt chew propley and knew no betta as the band was still new to me and it took me awhile to get used to it . The band is a tool and u still have to work it. I dont feel hungry anymore as i have had 3 fills now:). I love this and i would recommend any obese person to get the band. This truly is a life saving tool:) As for gaining weight i dont really know how this could be possible.....im confused with that....maybe they need a fill. Goodluck with your surgery if u go ahead, and if u do get the band u will realise that your on your way to a healthier happier person:)
  2. you are looking really good:) i told u the pain is well worth it get plenty of rest
  3. tues or thurs could be arranged:) where abouts ....same place or closer to the city? Jess will come to i think.....before her op hopefully

  5. Hi Fleur.....i didnt have to have optifast before i got banded...but i have tried it other times while trying to lose weight but found it not filling enuf for me. the taste was ok but i was still starving after it. Try adding fruits into it.....or crushed ice and see how it goes:) Goodluck
