  1. Thanks caroline iv stopped getting sick so il try some coffee now in a while and hope i have no probs with it but i can feel the swelling if that makes sense so just hope it'l go down and everything is ok im getting a fill and xray in belgium monday nite so at least i'l be well checked thanks for reply hun
  2. I dont know if im stuck or swollen or what im so worried now incase i made my band slip by getting sick so much i had several cups of coffee today but tried some soup just now and it wont go down does anyone know what could be causing this? im really panicing now
  3. Ah garry iv done feck all compared to u u lost so much before op and u kick the ass out of exercise im still sittin on my ass lol
  4. Yeah i just know in ireland its alot harder than the uk to get procedures done and i bet they'l expect me to be at at steady weight for 6months or more and alot of other requirements before they would even consider it but il see if i hear anything back from them i know dr chris does tt but i wana get lipo too and im terrified at thought of the op i think id feel safer getting it done here incase of infection or anything i could just go to the hospital its a top general hospital i wouldnt even go to a cosmetic clinic as id be too afraid but il see what way it go's i still have a stone and a half to go
  5. Ah thanks wishfull but i cant see them doing it but if nothing its worth a try id prob be put on a wating list if they did accept me but i aint prepared to wait i want it done by end of summer if i thought they'd do it id still want it done before xmas but i have a consult end of this month with a private surgeon but tt is 8200 and arms 6000 so il have to see
  6. Hey bobo thanks for tip im just after managing to get a coffee down thank god i really dont know what happened but im gona stay on liquids for a day or 2cos i can actually feel my insides swollen and my throat is killing me from heaving so much so im not even chancing food... I was at my doc today asking about plastic surgeons she said she'l write to plastics in dublin see if i could get it free but im not holding my breath cos of the times and little funding but sure its worth a shot but one way or another it'l be done lol i was thrilled i was 6st 7lb lighter on her scales and 8st 7lb lighter than when i was at my heaviest so cant complain and hopefully a few days on liquids will leave me a few more lb down and then with fill next week i plan on staying on liquids the monday nite till the sat try give the fill a good chance to settle and a week on liquids usually shrinks the stomach too so fingers crossed il hit the 7st mark but i vow not to eat shit cos any time i have done recently it aint been nice and my latest experience last nite has put me right off... and odgemodge i drink vodka and red bull no probs sure once the red bull hits the vodka and ice it loses its fizz but i also have a few beers too and have had no probs
  7. Ah no garry they defo got stuck whick was big shock for me as i would consider them a slider food so i dont know whats going on but coffee or nothing is staying down this morn so i think il avoid eating for a few days and hope il be able to get liquids down soon
  8. Oh god i am so sick any advice welcome yesterday i decided i wanted pringles lol and i had them but iv been getting sick since and cant keep anything down and i wouldnt mind i had maybe 10bloody pringles was getting sick from before 5yesterday til i went to bed after11 and im now sick again this morn and im so sore from heaving
  9. Hey cuddlygirl see ur from meath im from louth u thinking of getting banded?
  10. Well im banded over 8months but their like that ages they faded real quickly
  11. I can just about see my scars if i look for them they are real pale white can hardly see them at all
  12. Hey odgemodge the biggest scar i had was a inch and that was port scar the other 4were tiny less than half inch
  13. Hey odgemodge eh wee post op dressings, loose clothing, pain relief the ones they give on discharge are discusting so i use nurofen melts but some here didnt like them i loved them em just have juice and cuppa soups for when u come home em my mind is doing a blank if i think of more il let u know
  14. Hey odgemodge yeah i told ur sis we could meet up sure we'l be in same hotel so we can have a chat and a laugh or 2 il be having a bevy lol and at least the 3of u wil be going through same thing be good to chat...
  15. Oh odgemodge bet ur excited im goin with my mate now shopping for her bits and pieces she'l need im more excited than her hoping il get a good fill on the monday nite as they will know il be there till the thursday im really hoping this will be restriction for me cos im yoyoing up and down the same 3lbs for weeks now and im gettin really frustrated
  16. Ah caroline ur a lil stunner
  17. ah i bet u do feel brilliant it makes such a difference other people just dont understand how being overweight can destroy u inside... but ur looking fab i dont think u look overweight at all lol but god im far from a inspiration we'r all doing brilliant and should be happy with our progress and we HAVE TO MEET lol
  18. i defo think mine weighs alot and causing me back pain so yeah even another stone and the tuck cos its only now im really starting to appreciate the loss and i cant explain how much happier i am and more confident i never thought id get the weight off i have officially threw all my fat clothes out all i have is new clothes iv bought this last month but im gona stop buying now cos they better not fit soon lol i even found clothes that havnt fit since i was 15 and they wont even stay up on me im lost in them just the best feeling ever so to all the newbies its worth it the best decision iv ever made
  19. yeah even though this end bit is the killer and id say the hardest part of the whole lot im sticking to my own diet as i have no restriction and im really not over eating and im stalling at the same loss but i think even if i got tuck now id be happy with the outcome cos i could buy what i liked but deep down id love to get the 2stone off
  20. I think there is a package for tt hotel taxis etc for about €2000 euro il just have to enquire when im over is that for muscle tightning and the full tuck be great if he could do it id save a fortune just im wearing clothes too big for me at this stage to hide my hanging belly and id say if i got rid of it id be in a 14-16 in everything and more than comfortable and thats my dream size cos im tall im in 16-18 at the mo but covering this jelly belly is a nightmare lol
  21. Hey wishfull its more aless a full normal tuck but it goes more around ur sides instead of hip to hip it gets rid of ur love handles too i dont know if i have made sense there but it is just slightly longer and gets rid of more fat and skin from ur sides
  22. Hi gillian still havnt found a surgeon yet but im going to my gp on wedensday and il ask her and il be seeing dr chris next monday so il see what he could do with my tt if it would be a straight forward tuck i need i would prob go with him for it and id prob go in july or august for it i think i would like a extended tt though but sure all i can do is see what he says...but i really need it now the skin is getting worse and lower i can actually feel the pressure on my back from it i actually mailed wls for info on their surgeons but got no reply
  23. I must say before i left hospital dr chris sat down and explained everything to me and also said i could choose another fill provider if i liked but they do offer aftercare but it was totally up to me so i cant fault him that way also my scars are now nearly invisable i have to look hard for them except for port scar but it is even barely noticeable he defo is a brilliant surgeon and the best in the job
  24. haha bobo i didnt meet dr chris til i was on the table too lol
  25. yeah carriejess i think the same they need to have another fill person in ireland they just come once a month to dublin i think it would be great if they came to belfast too and gave the option of getting a fill every 2wks and make fills more accesable as im near 9months out and no restriction if i had to be able to get the fills every 2wks it would of been great benefit to me and others but he is a brilliant surgeon just if they could offer that little bit more aftercare
