Hey Bobo your lady has excellent taste, I gotta say it works, I like it side ways, looks cool.:thumbup:

Hey BoBo...we have the same wallpaper, mines in my dining room....good taste eh. But mines boringly hung in the traditional way.

Thank you Bev, I cant believe how much weight you've lost already!! You are doing so well. If you go on like this you wont be needing a band lol.

There was me blaming my band, when in fact I must have had some sort of bug, cos I had (the wildies...sorry guys) this morning. I am feeling a lot better now, felt dreadful all day. But my port has moved a good 3inches above where it was initially, has anyone else experienced this. God i hope I havent done any damage with all the sickness.

Garry, no you're deffo not thick lol, I think if you click bandster profile under a persons name, and avatar it will take you to their piccys if they have any. xx

Firstly.... Carrie, we are so proud of you xxxxx Thanx Homecare about the babby, she is kissable, bless. I've enjoyed reading the posts from newly banded folk, dont worry the wind and pain passes. And how good must that feel to lose 3 stone before you've had a fill...wow superwoman has joined our board xxx Excellent!!! I was sick again tonight, all I ate was 3 cream crackers with cheese and tomato on. And I mean the proper down the nose jobby...yuk, sorry to be sharing this with you, but it happened the day before yesterday too. I still cant get used to how little my weeny pouch will hold...silly woman I am. Gonna go look at all the piccys now thanx peoples. xxxx

Wishfull, thats exciting news!!!! I know what you mean about going out buying outfits, we just cant control ourselves can we lol. Thanx for the good wishes too. Glad you feel a little better today Ivesy2.xx

Forgot to say, Parrot, you make me laff, sounds like the holiday from hell. bet you're glad to be back home. Homecare you have done well to lose weight, aint it fab!!! Whomever said losing weight with a band was easy hasnt got a clue. It's damn hard, I have had a lot of discomfort, sleepless nights and lots of vomiting, so no its not damn well easy. I hope i dont put you pre-bandsters off, I dont mean to, cos at the end of the day I know the horrid things wont last forever and there was no way i could have lost this weight without my dear, sweet bitch of a band lol. I do not for one minute regret it at all.

Thanx girlies for lovely things you have said about the nursery and Gabrielle...she is a cuteypie. Starsky, that is damn disgusting that they lost your luggage and wont do anything for you. Didnt you get insurance hun? I cant believe they can get away with that, your case has to be somewhere. You have to write/phone/email Easyjet, dont let them get away scot-free, make a lot of noise. Wishfull dont forget to let us know what the baby is hun! I had to sit up to sleep again last night, or did i mention that lol. Today i didnt even want to eat until 4pm, and then i felt so ill, the pain in my chest was dreadful and at 7pm I was violently sick. then felt better. So today i have eaten zilch!! This band is off its head.

Ivesy2...I also get the same thing. I had it last night, I had to go to sleep sat up with pillows propping me up. I couldnt get rid of it, via PB, I just had to suffer. It finally went down about 5am this morning, mine too was tablets that I have to take at night. Its dreadful, but I keep thinking it will pass, and it will. On saturday I ate a wrap with chicken tikka and salad inside for lunch, then at teatime ate another!!! It stayed down great, no reflux or anything. Strange band. They do have a mind of their own.

Fatduck, I think your 'mates' sound threatened by your pending weightloss. People can be very jealous, it happens all the time. I have a friend who will never say she can see I have lost weight, she just says she can see its just come off my face. duh.....

DizzyDebs and Noodles, keep us posted girlies. Thanx so much Cant Weight and Garry for your congrats. I took this piccy today, maybe the smile was a fluke, but I think its cos she likes nanny Freckles lol. 3 days old!!! Btw, yesterday my Impaction shifted I felt so much better I cant believe how good i felt after.

Oh Gawd, now you got me concerned.....will have to get some advice from my surgeon I spose, thanx for the info chick. To change your weight loss, click your ticker and it will take you to the site, then you log in and just change your weight ...then refresh the page here and your new weight loss is updated. Good luck hunny xx

You see how everyone has different opinions, I was told that Fibregel is the best thing to take for dodgy bowels, and this from a Cancer specialist. So what do we believe? Is it because our bands dont like it or what. I took my first lot yesterday and 2 Senakots last night , and a Phosphate enima yesterday evening, and lo and behold, the Impaction has shifted this morning. I feel like a new woman, I cant believe how ill all that poison was making me feel. I will stick with the Fibregel as I would never want to go through that amount of pain and discomfort ever again. I also ate some Bran Flakes for brekky.

Thank you girlies, glad you liked the piccys. big sis, I started in the Dept of Employment (as it was then) in 1984, I worked in Personnel, calculating annual leave/sick leave etc. Then in 1990 I transferred to Finance and worked in redundancy payments, which was so boring after Salaries and leave work. I took the severence, early retirement in 1998, so 14 years in all. I wish I'd never left now as I miss it still. My best mate who started the same time as me is now acting up to Seo, and I think maybe i could have gone that bit further too. Still I got my pension early (due to severe arthritis,) which they will pay if you are ill enough.bless. What dept do you work in hunny?

Maggs, many thanx for that hunny, actually, he says I have a few internal (hmmm...piles) which he will be banding (cos they're so greedy??? lol) as well. I fully intend to have the Colonoscopy, I think I've actually had one once before or maybe that was a gastroscopy....yes, it was.. stomach camera, yuk, all these horrible jobs. I am booked into the Bupa on 4th Sept, but my healthcare wont pay more than 1500quid and that procedure is 1750, I've already used some of that with the other things the doc did for me. so I have to do the choose and book thing (NHS) to get the same sugeon if my GP agrees. Or i can go into my healthcare's own private hospital,so I will go see my GP on friday and see what he says. He can be really awkward when he wants to be, I dnt think he likes that I have private healthcare, and to be fair, its not a posh one at all. just what I joined when I was a civil servant, and still pay it every month. So will know soon whats happening and when.

Big sis, thats really nice of you.

Gabrielle was born at 1:30pm today weighing in at 8lb 4oz, mother and baby are doing fine, here are a couple of pics for you. proud dad Nanny Freckles

Garry so glad you're ok, loving the new piccy btw. Thanx to all of you for your good wishes. I dont want to bore you with all the details, but the surgeon decide not to do the manual removal as it was softer and he made me stay upstairs in a hospital room and more enimas were administered. They nearly got rid of all of it, so he let me home at 10pm last night. However I have to go back in for a Colonoscopy as he is concerned that I had a lot of blood inside, and he wants to know where thats coming from. I cant do anything by halves duh!!! Btw he told me the best thing to take when the diet is not so good, is Fibergel, every day. For the first few days you are liable to suffer from bloating and flatulence ...nothing new there is there A big to all the newbies, enjoy your time here xxx
