So glad I found this thread!! Bandster Hell is the perfect name for this month! I am exactly 4 wks banded (yesterday) and I feel like I could eat almost as much as I could pre-band. But it is more like I feel like I should not beable to eat as much as I do. I was also getting worried that I was somehow failing and not eating right or not enough walking. I have lost only 5 pounds and an inch from my body...but I was thinking I would lose more. So now I will calm down and stop stressing...slow and easy wins the race! :cool2: Liz

Hi Liz, My doctor is Thierry Mignon at the Elyzea Clininc in Belgium. Everything is going well. I still have a few weeks yet to get my band and the waiting is killing me! I am not a very patient person, lol! We have made the final travel plans and I have dropped my payment in the post. Wow, that was a big cheque to write! But other then the waiting everything else has gone smoothly. We have booked a hotel/resort in France at the Belguin border. They have Water slides and heated indoor pools, horseback riding, mini golf ect... I was worried about what to do with my kids and then we found this place so I know they will also have fun. I didn't want to ruin their spring break (they only get a week) by making them stay at home or at the clinic with me all the time. So, now I just need to wait until April 7!!!! I think that is going to be the hardest part!!! Anyway, how have you been doing? Have you had any problems or has it been a great success? Would like to hear more about how your getting on.. Take care! Liz

Hi Elizabeth and everyone, I too live in England and my name is also Elizabeth, lol! I will be getting my band on April 7! I am very excited and a bit nervous. I have been lurking at this site for monthes now and I think it's a great resource for people. I will be using the Elyzea Clinic in Belgium, who did you go through for your banding? Just being nosey! Anyway, nice to meet you and good luck! Liz
