  1. When i paid my deposit i emailed him to tell him i had done this and sent my flight details for going out and coming back.
  2. homecare you dont normaly hear from fred or dr chris before the op .I had to send fred my flight details so the taxi driver new when your arriving.He will be holding up a sign with the ecfs logo on it.And they expect you to follow a low fat diet for two weeks before the op.
  3. No t bird you do not have to pay an extra £120 .The £120 is if you are doing indavigal fills you would get the assessment and a fill then after that you would pay £85 each fill after that.All you have to pay for the package is£349.
  4. I dint know why that is .I think there was someone on here a few days ago saying the just booked up a six months package.And there is quite a few on here that were new bandsters and got the six month package.:confused:
  5. Hi homecare the number is 0800 7879 029.It should be coleen that answers just tell her you want the package to start a month too six weeks after your op.
  6. Yes i would recomend wls.Wendy who gives you your fills is realy friendly and will give you plenty advice if you need it .Plus you know with the six months package you will gauranteed to be at your sweet spot before it ends.
  7. Hi all just to let yous know there is a program on itv at 9pm tonight called supersize teens about weight loss surgery for children.
  8. HI home care the dates for the wls clinic in glasgow are tue 16/6 then the tue 14/7 so i take it will be round about this date on aug.
  9. Hi shelly im with wls and i would highly recomend them wendy is realy friendly.
  10. Hi flirty if you want to tackle the smoking you should give allen carrs easyway to give up smoking book a read.I bought the book 3 years ago off of ebay for three pound and i have not smoked since.It will not work for everyone but for me i read it inside three days and i never smoked since ,My partner michelle read it a week later and she has never smoked since .The two of us were 20 a day smokers so we have saved a small fortune with giving up for the last 3 years .For the sake of a few £ its worth the try.
  11. Alright gaz good to see you had a good time in ibiza you party animal.Thats the feeling i get that my food backs up alot quicker than it used to before.I dont know what kind of restriction you have just now but before when i did not have restriction and ate food too quick it backed up and i would get the gloop or the pb as i call it.But now after a small tea plate of food when i feel if as i am going to get to the stage when i am going to pb i stop eating so i dont get it if that makes sense.So the band definitely works by making you think how much you can eat and if you have had pb you will know it is not a nice feeling.
  12. Flirty just to let you know there is a lady on this site i have just seen that has had the same tt op that your going for.If you search (post op tt pics) you should see the before and afters.
  13. All the best westbourne you will be fine .You will soon be on the looseing side:thumbup:
  14. 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.
  15. Thanks gillian and too you wishfull.All these 2lb and 3lb make up to stones keep up the good work.
  16. HAHAHAHAHA flirty thats so true everything you said about going shoppimg with your mammy.I used to come out the shops in a huff too taking it out on ma mam is if it was her fault that nothing in the shop fitted me or looked like shit and wouldnt sit on me right because of my size. I will wear the suit with pride as i was always too embarressed to wear one because of my size. And your so right about searching for a month before your going somewhere special that was me .
  17. Thanks flirty ye im chuffed as any other holiday i have been on i have put weight on so it is a first for me. Good for you getting in to a 16 top and bottem .Thats what makes the diffrence for me is that i can go in to most shops and take clothes off the peg instead of going in to special shops for 4xls and paying through the nose for clothes that would usualy cost half the price.
  18. Well i just thought i would give yous a up date on my progress. I got weighed in today and i have lost 6lb for the month so not to bad considering i had a naughty week in spain with all that lovley food and drink.lol I got 0.25 in my band taking me to 9cc so i think this will be the one to take me to the sweet spot. I am going to realy push this month to get as much weight off as possible as i am going to a wedding in july in the cameron house hotel(a posh hotel in the banks of loch lomand) . I have never wore a suit before so im wanting to get down as much weight before i get fitted.
  19. Hi penny it was me that had the problem with the band size.When i went with wls they were unsure what size band i had as i was very close to the capacity of the band but with no restriction.So i emailed dr chris 3 times and fredrick 4 times to ask him to clarify what the capacity of the band was and he never replyed.Fredrick replyed only to ask who was my new fill provider and that was that never heard from them since. Also i went to my gp to ask about getting my fills done on the nhs.So he wrote to the surgeon that i was on the waiting list for getting the band and he said there was no funding for fills. Thats why i went for the op with dr chris as i was on the nhs waiting list for two years and was then told there was no funding for the op.
  20. I went with dr chris for the first fill but realy if your going for the six month package with wls it is a bit of a waste of money paying him £90 and then wls £350.I would just go for the package as wendy and her team are realy nice.
  21. Hi odgemodge i go to the glasgow clinic of wls group the number is 0800 78 79 029.Ye just back my hols this morning cant belive how many pages i had to catch up on.If you need any info on it just let me know.
  22. Ye you do get drunker quicker as there is not alot of food in your stomach.But im finding it harder to get drunk as i cant fit as much in to my stomach as i used to unless i drink spirits.This has only happened since i had my last fill because before it i still could drink alot
  23. For me i drink magners cider so i just put ice in it and give it a stir with a straw and that takes out alot of the fizz out i suppose you could do that with vodka and coke.
  24. Thats what im like on holiday when i went away for a week i put on half a stone if i went away for a fortnight it was a stone.Its actully work im going with the famaily is staying behind:wub:.I hope you get the restriction on your next fill it defenitely makes the diffrence.I meant to say since i got restriction i cant drink the bevy as much either.I was at a mates engagment on sat and all i could drink was 3 pints which is a big diffrence to 7 months ago when i could polish off ten pints no bother.
  25. Ye still got restriction it has eased off a little since the first week but definitely a big diffrence .All my meals are eaten off a tea plate or a small bowl now because i kept thinking i could eat more than i actully could and was putting my dinner out on a normal plate and having to leave most of it. How was the holiday?im off to majorca tomorrow morning so i will have watch what im doing as it is half board .
