  1. Yes good luck, let us know how you get on. Debbie x
  2. LOL yeh was very weird, was just thinking how you were doing as well....... Yes log on to the other site because you will find alot of people in the same boat its quite liberating to see that we are all HUNGRY......lol.... Georgina, have you got any ideas where you are gonna go for your next fill....??? How did you find the hospital in orpington...??
  3. Hey Georgina.....XXX So good to here from you.... Yeh i tend to spend most of my time on the above site, its alot more useful. I am doing alright, my first fill went ok had great restriction the first week, but like you now not got much although eating alot less and do get full quite quickly but unfortuntatly i'm hungry quite quickly too. Like you i am gonna go for another fill in september, go to las vegas next week so hoping the band will be ok on the 10 hour flight...! I've lost about 16lb but i think that is my doing as i've been eating healthy and not the band. I know it can take some time to get the right restriction but i am feeling a bit frustrated cause i want to weight to start moving... Anyway, try catch me on the other site (user same as this one). Or i'll catch up with you on this site, pls stay in touch. Debbie x
  4. Hi Guys As Much as i love this site and have got loads of useful information, the above site is especially designed for people in the UK and is Brilliant, with lots of nice people giving advice such as local fills, etc..... Check it out Debbie xxxx
  5. Hi Lisa Hope you are well....X Debbie
  6. Oh my heart goes out with you Travelman, hope everything turns out ok...X D...X
  7. Hi All Good Luck to you all waiting surgery, you will be fine. Remember this is a start of a great journey Lots Of Love Debbie x
  8. Hi Lisa You will know after having the surgery when you are restricted and when you are not. Its a funny feelin, like a egg timer, you feel it go down then the stuck type feelin, before it goes through to the bottom half of the stomach. Getting the fill done did not hurt at all, you dont feel a thing whilst getting the saline put in. The needle itself isnt nothin, u dont have to look if you hate needles and u only feel a little scratch. Hope it helps Debbie x
  9. Hi Ann Poor u....! I had my first fill today and was dreadin it but i didnt find it that bad, i must say i am not really afraid of needles tho as i give blood regularly and used to them by now... ;o) How much restriction have you got...?, i am at 5.5cc in a 10cc band, so am hoping for a little more restriction than before. Hope everything goes ok for you, reference the port i am sure it wont be hardly as bad as the op itself. Goodluck Debbie
  10. Hi Guys I just come back from having my first fill (I only had to wait 9 weeks..!) anyway, it went very well. I already had 3cc in my 10cc band, so the Dr put another 2.5cc in, so now i am at 5.5cc hopefully i will get some restriction. I am gonna give it a couple of week and if there is hardly any restriction i am going to get another fill ASAP.... Debbie
  11. Hi Sallieanne I got a free fill whilst having my xray.. This is only because i have had to wait so long for my xray appointment to come through and i completely kicked off so they are giving me a free fill as way of compensation. Debbie..
  12. Kevin this is a great achievement i am so pleased for you... Do you think you have done this mostly through diet or through the band itself. I cant wait to get to the stage of feelin restricted... Debbie
  13. Its nice to see you ladies are getting the service you paid for with WGA.. I finally received my letter a few days ago so at least i know where i am going next saturday for my first xray and fill, all be it it's 9 weeks later. Debbie x
  14. Hi There After having to wait 9 weeks i am due to have my first fill next saturday and xray. I was wondering if anyone knows what to expect, and if this first fill doesnt give me any restriction, how long i need to wait before i can have my next one. Debbie x
  15. Hi There Does anyone know how long you need to wait to get another fill done if my first fill doesnt give me any restriction...? Debbie
