Hi all I thought I would post today as this is my bandaversity.Yep one year ago today I was lying on a slab getting my insides poked about by Dr Chris de bruyne.Weighing in at 23st 2lb (324lb).As of today I am now weighing in at 16st (224lb).So 100lb in one year to the day I could not have asked for any more.The journey has not been easy but well worth it .I did not really get restriction until 7-8 months after I had the op so a lot if it was will power and dieting. Before I had the op I weighed up the options of me not having surgery to having it .The positives were out numbering the negatives what was the worst that could happen. I could die on the operating table or I could die with the excess weight I was carrying or with all the problems you have with being obese. Some of the things that have changed In my life since I have lost the weight have pleased me .I can now go to the swimming with my kids which I never done when I was at my heaviest as I was too embarrassed . I am also able to fit in the seats on roller coasters now where a year ago I would never have even tried .I'm now like a big kid when we go to the fun fair.We have even booked up for Orlando for next June due to the weight loss.I'm also able to take the kids round the the park on the bikes which they love.They have a new dad now which is one of the reasons I had the op .I don’t want my children’s lives to pass me by with me not being able to do things normal dads do. I have also set a date for my wedding which I would not have done if I had not lost the weight.Its only taken me 8 years to set the date lol. I have lost at least 10 inches from my waist 12 inches from my chest and 3 inches from my neck.So the only negative is I have had to buy a full new wardrobe of clothes. Although I have not lost all the weight I want too if I had to stay at this weight I would be quite happy.The last time I was at this weight I was 16 years of age. So for anyone thinking of getting the band done or is just starting the journey I would say it can be done go for it. I have been using this site for a year now and it has given me so much inspiration reading other peoples success story and looking at the before and after photos really spurned me on . I only hope my story can inspire someone thinking of getting the band that it can change your life round and all for the better.

Hi paul it was very straight foward.If you get the package with dr chris de bruyne and his assistant fredrick all you have to do is book your own flights .The package includes your hotel your op and all the taxis you need from your hotel to hospital and back plus to the airport.They book all this for you so there is no problem with lanuage. If you type in the search bar on this site Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris or clink on this link it should take you to a page where every one has had the op with him .Plus if you read back on the previous post all your questions will have been asked.

Hi i went from beer to guinness .I dont know if yous get it in the us.Plus i drink scotch on the rocks.

Well done great weight loss:thumbup:

Well done joe on getting banded. That will you be on the loosing side now.:frown:

Why do you not just do it with him coming in from behind (doggy style).I dont think there would be any problems any way as long as he is not putting all his weight on you.The port is sewed on your muscles so you shouldnt have any problems with it flipping.

Hi tracy is was on the waiting list to get the band in the glasgow area for two years.I had been approved to have the surgery done and had all my bloods done. Been to a phychologist and a dietician had ann endascope and after all that i was told there was no funding and to come back and see them in a year and they would review it again. So for me that was the final straw i got a bank loan went to belgium had the surgery private and the rest is history.

Hi beeboo welcome to the forum.:eek:

I go for my fills in glasgow and use a company called wls group im sure they do fills in ireland.Just google it and they have all there fill venues there hope this helps.

Hi i live in the uk and watching the news this morning they have said all flights to mexico have been cancelled for the forseeable future.

I dont seem to be getting any email notification for the last few days can any one help please.?

Hi all i got band fill number 5 three days ago now.Up until this fill i have had no restriction.But now i think i have hit my sweet spot.I had some tuna and mayo for lunch and after about 5-6 tea spoons of it that was me full and it started to back up so i stopped eating. Could anyone tell me what they eat for a full day and the amounts.?

Cheers i would send dr chris another email as he and his management team frederick are not to quick to respond to emails.

I did no realy have the money for it to fail either but i felt there was no other choice but to have it done.I have lost about 3 stone since been banded on the 1 st of nov so it seems to have put me on the right track even though i have still not got full restriction from the band.

Yes it was with dr chris .I also have two kids and the money could be spent on other things but the way i look at it im 33 and i dont want to spend the rest of my life constantly doing diets and being depressed.

Hi i live in the glasgow area.I was on the nhs waiting list for two years for the op .I had to go and see a physcologist plus a dietician twice plus had all the blood tests plus a endascope.I went back to see the surgeon and he told me to come back and see him in six months as there was no funding for the op.So after all this i ended up going to belgium and got it done private as there did not seem to me that i was going to get it on the nhs .It seems to be a postcode lottery if you get it in your area.Hope this helps.

Good luck with it.
