  1. freckles welcome to my world i look like i have a grapefruit under my skin and i am 4 weeks out it is a hematoma but it is going down slowly. you may have same if its not hot and you feel fine then no worries.
  2. hi, if your hellbent on getting it done then i would maybe decrease your height by an inch as that will increase your bmi because as mmm says they dont check height and weight. not the best advice to lie i know but i can appreciate that you just want it. gx
  3. hi and welcome, i am pretty sure he will do it however you may need to sign a further consent form for being borderline, i think bmi 30 is that however not completely sure. there is a lovely lady on here called mmm she will i am sure be able to tell you. Both her and i were in belgium at same time. (hope you dont mind mmm) gx
  4. he normally comes back to you in a few days however i appreciate your wanting to get it booked i was the same, i have his mobile number, why dont you call him. I wont put it on post but if you want it just ask and i will pm it to you or anyone for that matter. Gx
  5. thats the way you need to be sometimes or you just get walked over and pushed to the back of the queue, keep me posted if your going to be in edinburgh next week.
  6. K I never had scales at home for obvious reasons however i invested in these bad boys (see link) they are great and very accurate they also give you bmi, body fat,muscle mass water, the ammount of calories you need to sustain weight and visceral fat, now all this mumbo jumbo does help in the weeks that you dont loose weith but you gain muscle if you have been excercising or burn fat. The thing i like was that you get a memory stick with them that you stick in everytime you use them and then into your computer and it shows you all your stats per date and then shows a graph so its easy to track. Now that i have the band i need that ability to se my weight so i dont put on hundreds then think mmmmmm i wonder what weight i am knowing. Just a wee idea that helps. MiBody USB Body Fat/Water & Muscle Mass Analyser Scale Gx
  7. K Like you I called to book the edinburgh fill for the 19th immediately after my op on 13th feb. THe julie one said oh i think that is full, now you can imagine my responce to that, so i made a bit of a fuss and she said just to come at 12. My advice is if she is off is to mail frederik and dr chris i have both email addresses and virtually demand that you get seen, is it you first fill i am not sure. I went down the line of "whats the use in getting band and offering support then reccomending first fill at 6 weeks then you cant do it, completely unaceptable" On the glasgow thing, at my consultation Frederik mentioned about someone there can do it but i never got any more info, i would ask that in mail also. Dont just accept it as i think they rely on that which is no use to man nor beast. Sorry cant be of more help. Regards Gx
