DLC1

Hi Brenners, I too live in Ireland (north) I had the proceedure carried out in the south in June last year, at first I found it difficult and weight loss frustratingly slow. However 9 months on I have lost almost 7 stone. Dr Jorome Macaneau carried out the proceedure and I have found him to be very good. I would be interested to see how you get on. All the best. DLC1.

Okay so I am 7 weeks post op- had my first fill a week ago - AND HAVEN'T LOST A POUND IN ALMOST THREE WEEKS....... I'm keeping my calories at 800-1000 -- what gives????? I'm trying so hard to not get discouraged - but the first 13 pounds same off fairly easily (and let me tell you this is pure scale number - I don't SEE this weight loss anywhere on my body)

....NOW WHAT???? :shades_smile:

I'm starting to feel like family and friends that know I had the surgery are starting to look at me and wonder why it's not working... and I can't blame them...IS IT???????

Please dont fret!! I had my surgery late June last year (2007), I was really disheartened because my loss was so slow!! My start weight was almost 22 stone, I am now down to 15 Stone. It took a number of visits to my surgeon, I now have 5mls in my band and continuing to do well. YOU TOO CAN DO IT, UNFORTUNANELY IT CAN TAKE TIME. Keep going it will fall into place. PS make sure your fills are achieved, I had a few visits where fills were supposedly achieved but were not! sorted now! God Bless. It has been a success for me so far and I hope also for u.
