Hi yeah u get them in the chemist... i have them in my handbag all the time as dont have to crush them or anything and they dont taste bad at all... i travel to dublin for my fills takes about a hour on the train and they are €120 i be grand after them im terrified of needles but they arnt sore just a tiny bit uncomfortable oh my fill tomorro i hope i get good restriction comin up to xmas

Hey wishfull well if u dont do jogging bottoms id advise anything elasticated and on the big side i live in tracksuit stuff but when i say my normal tracksuit stuff wouldnt look at me i mean it and the last thing u want is something tight on the wounds on top of a huge swollen belly oh and one last thing the pain medication they give u to take home are disolvable and are discusting i couldnt stomach them at all id get nurofen meltlets they just melt on ur tongue and are lemon flavoured and always handy to have in ur bag as being banded we cant swallow the big tabs even soluable solpadene are ok but the meltlets are just brilliant even though i must say i didnt take any pain relief when i left hospital bar trying those horrible tabs they gave which i spat out

Oh is anyone here on bebo?

Ah well i defo fitted into the vicky pollard category xcept preggers with twins lol and a worse hair do haha but you wil be glad of the comfort of real loose clothes they might be too big on and not look great but defo worth it

Ah wishful i bet ur so excited and counting down the days it really is a life changing thing the first wk might not be great after op but after that things will look up i was very sick after anastectic for 3days but i was grand i just felt faint and nauseous but im one of few everyone else i know was grand and in great form and just had a little pain i hadnt pain as such just discomfort from swelling i had tracksuit bottoms and a top going in but they wouldnt look at me after op my mum had to go get me new stuff so id advise taking mega big bottoms with u just in case cos trust me u need real loose clothing even pick up a cheap pair somewhere u'l be glad u did i was very bruised had a complete black belly for 3wks but anyone else i know didnt lol

Oh and hi gillian thanks im sure u wil do equally as good if not better if i can do it anyone can x

Hi wishful its through diet alone havnt done any exercise i paid 2grand for a treadmil so i better get off my ass an do somethin on it i just hate exercise i think thats the main reason i put on weight i defo think if i do some exercise the weight wil come off twice as fast but god i cant wait for my fill on thursday...

Hi wishful woohoo im a lb down this morn so 6lb to go lol As for fills i had surgery the 5th september my first fill 5wks later i got 3mls then 4wks later i got 2mls and getting my 3rd fill now thursday you just keep going for fills until u reach restriction and dr chris comes to ireland every month but once u reach restriction u dont have to go as much just as u lose weight u might need a wee fill every now and again as the band wil losen cos of the weight loss but im very excited at thoughts of 4stone off for xmas id really love to get 4stone and a lb off lol just so il get into the next stone if that makes sence cos its the best feeling ever to get into a new stone and gives ur confidence a wee boost and makes u more determined to get into another stone so im hoping to have a few lbs off after next wkend as after the fill have to stay on liquids for 2days im getting saggy already and my boobs are heading south lol not a great thing for a 25yr old so think il have to get a wee nip and tuck here and there at the end lol

Hey wishful i stayed in same hotel it was very comfortable and nice and not far from the hospital oh and if u fancy somethin to eat the night before i had the cheese burger and fries it was spicy and yummy lol eh i have bout 3and a half stone off i set myself a target of 4stone for xmas im struggling the last wk im constantly hungry but than god i have my 3rd fill on thursday so fingers crossed il make my goal in time but it aint all easy as im sure u know i think since i was banded im losing on willpower the restriction hasnt kicked in yet but im hoping this fill will do it.... As for the airport i think there is a shuttle bus u can get instead of paying for taxis

Hey just wana wish all of u the best of luck i was banded by dr chris in september and its best decision i ever made and just to let anyone worrying about the taxis and hotel dont it will all be sorted if i can help anyone feel free to ask questions il try answer them i know how it feels to want to know everything

hi jojo i can honestly say i dont have much restriction i can still manage full amounts of food its just iv changed my attitude towards food and hoping the band will kick in now i stil want to lose a further 4.5stone and hoping to have another one of those stones off for xmas like i say just cos we have a band its far from easy but hang in there i joined unislim and go every thurs for the weigh in just to be exact of what im losing in the beggining i had a 2wks of a standstil and the 3rd wk i had half a lb on i was so frustrated but it does start moving again but all hard work but be well worth it im not eating bread or meat now 2 which was my big downfalls i could eat a loaf of bread no probs and i dont even miss it and stil have chips if im out at the wkend but hang in there x

Hey there to all going to be banded all i can say it for me it was the best decision ever and il only be banded 11wks this coming friday i have 5mls of a fill got 3ml for first fill and 2ml second fill i think i need a tiny bit more but since the op i have lost 3and a half stone im just thrilled hope to have another stone off for xmas but all i can say is go for it its defo not a quick fix and it does take a lot of will power but the more i lose the more determined i get and my confidence has shot up which is a great feeling i cant express how happy i am and so pleased i choose dr chris i was going to go to the beacon clinic in dublin but glad i went to belgium hospital was shining and everyone so nice cant praise dr chris enough

Hey Roe yeah im thrilled i got it done and i defo made the right choice by going to belgium instead of having it done here dont think i can feel restriction yet but the test will be when i try to eat im on liquids for a few days but im down 2stone 1lb since being banded this day 5wks ago so im thrilled hopefully the weight will continue to go down... Id say ur just thrilled with ur loss in such a short space of time compared to the last time its so exciting for us all... Where u gona get ur fills done now?

Hey i also think Dr Chris is the best i was banded 5wks ago today and had my first fill with him yesterday its like englishrose said its not like the guy was underweight and its everyones personal choice to have obesity surgery and also for the NHS to refuse keving the op with a BMI of 42 just shows u the NHS dont offer the services to all who need them and we are left with no choice... Anyone reading this who hasnt been to belgium for the op the hospital is shining NO MRSA and excellent staff they would put irish and british hospitals to shame and then we come to the cost it's a rip off cost in ireland and uk for me to have op in ireland i was quoted 2prices of €11500 and €15000 WHY is it so expensive here but anyway DR Chris De Bruyne has changed the lives of so many people in a positive way including me im 5wks out and 2stone 1lb down and already so much more positive about my life and future i think the BBC report painted going to belgium for the op in a very bad picture and not fair on this wonderful surgeon who is one of the leading obesity surgeons in europe!!!

Just got my first fill with Dr Chris today got 3ml and very happy and im so happy i choose him and if worse came to worse at any stage id fly to belgium cos if it was here it would cost the same as its rip off ireland lets hope i get restriction now...

I have to say i believe it is everyones personal choice to have the op and Dr Chris Is one of the best surgeons in this field i think BBC have painted a bad picture of him and i disagree with them but like i said it just scared me to think we have no where to go in ireland if something go's wrong or if we had a overfill but it was my decision and i knew that before i went id just hate for other people to be put off by what was in that report because i have nothing but good to say about Dr Chris... I dont know what to think after the report

BBC NEWS | Health | Gastric band patients 'at risk' Iv just found this anyone see it about dangers of going abroad? Im scared now even though i have full confidence in Dr De Bruyne... Im just afraid now if something went wrong and no one being able to help in ireland like a over fill...

Hi just wondering is anyone going for a fill with Dr De Bruyne tomorro in dublin? Im booked in for 1.30

I think maybe if i was goin to the loo weight loss mite be bit better... But yeah il defo let u know how i get will i tell fred u say hello lol

Hey naomi honestly dont worry about the gain of a pound i gained half a pound last week and i had a bold day yesterday im just glad i have my fill on thurs i hope i get some restriction and i reallllly hope i dont have weight on this wk after my bold day yesterday...
