hi, Had band fitted on 17 December in Paris, through ACS, I had lost about 17lbs and had a further fill on 4th January, however feel no restriction and have gained about 5lbs even though seriously and honestly I have been very careful and conscious of what I am eating. I feel horrible, that ive wasted this money, am embarrassed in front of family and friends. Asked for an appointment and was given one for this Saturday, but its my daughters 21st so have arranged to go to see Lou on 2nd February. Is there any light at the end of the tunnel?

Haven't had a mcflurry since, computer was down due to the kids opening things they shouldn't and it was riddled with viruses. Anyway, I think things are done differently here in Ireland. We are advised from the 1st week to start on solid food. I do have restriction, but only with some meats and bread. Since banded and not from a before diet, I lost 17lb however, I have gained about 5lbs since I got the fill on the 4th of January. I don't understand. Really I have been very good and am going by the nutritionists guidelines and receipe book. Im boggled as to what is wrong. I phoned to have a further fill and they offered me 26th January but this is my daughters 21st birthday so I'm scheduled for 2nd February now. My band is an 8ml band. I have 3ml in at present. Perhaps you can throw some light on things.

Hi everyone, I have 3mls had a fill 2 weeks after being banded as I had very little restriction if any. I can eat almost everything with the exception of meat and bread, unfortunately I drive a taxi and one of my customers keeps buying me a crunchie mcflurry with extra crunchie, as she knows these are my favourites. It can't be that bad if i stick to fish and veggies the rest of the time. Any idea how many calories are in a mcflurry?

Hi girls, My name is Paulina, I am Irish and was banded in Paris on 17 December '08 in Paris, as the operation is no longer performed in Ireland. I am doing ok, only wish it would go faster, have loads of celebrations coming up, but sure it didnt just appear so it wont disappear.
