Hi Gillian thanks for that!!! It is bloody awful, worse than the pain of surgery!!!! How are you getting on with your weight loss?? :mad2: When do you take of the bandages?? Thanks all advise gratefully received

Hi, I really need help!!!! I have really bad trapped wind it is really painful. It is not gas from the op but in my tummy. I feel it coming right up into my chest then feel it going back down again!!!! I have tried Wind - eze, imogas, gavison but nothing is working any suggestions???

Hi mmm, mum is feeling a bit better today. It was awful travelling back. How did you get on with the travelling? I see Garry has joined the group, it will be good for him to get a bit of support.

Hi everyone and welcome to Jacksmum. Hi Garry how are you getting on. Tell your mum thanks for the cuppa soup. I had wanted to thank her before we went but we were out of the hotel for 7.30pm on Sunday morning. I wasn't very well on Saturday evening, I even rang Dr Frederick at 1.30am on Sunday morning as I was feeling very very ill. He told me that I was dehydrated and that I had an internal bleed so I was stitched from the inside as well. But thankfully am on the mend now. I am actually quite hungry today???

:thumbup:Hi everyone we are officially bandsters now!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. Hi mmm hope you are well say hi to Sian. We are a little better today (thanks goodness). We found it very hard. I don't know what I was expecting as I have never had any sort of surgery before but 3 days post op and we are getting better. I got very dehydrated and sick on the Saturday back at the hotel. So to everyone waiting to go, make sure you sip at water frequently. mmm how are you eating crisp breads when you are supposed to be on liquids only? I would be to scared. When can you take of the dressings as I am finding my skin is getting really itchy?? P.S Dr Chris and Dr Frederick are both very nice.

Hi Girls, my mum and I are setting off from Belfast tomorrow, we are flying from Dublin airport and should arrive in Belgium at about 8pm. We were more nervous a couple of weeks ago, but now we are excited at the prospect of being a few stone lighter by the end of the year (if all goes ok)!!!!! I will be meeting mmm and her daughter as we are getting the surgery on the same day (Friday 13th). (What a great date)lol!!! So speak to you all soon, cross your fingers that all goes well. To all you thinking of having the band, just go for it!!!!!!

Thanks wishfull, I wish I was post op, i have never had any kind of op before. Cheers :thumbdown:

Hi, I have been viewing your posts for a few weeks now, I never get time to post as I have a 3 year old and 2 year old twins. I am getting banded on 13th Feb and am getting really nervous. Is the pain really bad?? Is the hospital staff friendly?? Thanks :thumbdown:

Hi mmm, Yes it is £3500 without the hotel but I was going to book with another agent so she decided to include the hotel fees. Just tell her you want thehotel in the price and if she wants your booking she will accomadate you. When are you thinking of getting the band???

Hi everyone, I booked through Tullia Law and she gave me a price of £3500 to inc the first fill and the hotel fee. Which is the best price I got.... Myself and my mother are getting the band on (FRIDAY THE 13TH) of Feb. I am very nervous, but also excited. She asks for £500 deposit and the balance to be paid 2 weeks prior to surgery.

Hi, I have'nt booked a hotel yet. How long have you been thinking about the band?? How much is your op costing?? My mum is getting the band aswell! She is 51 years old. Laura
