  1. Shoes I am sure that Gary had this pain and it turned out it was normal if you look at his posts you may find the answer. Hope this helps. J x:crying:
  2. Are you sure its £120 for initial assessment. When I spoke to Coleen today she said if I opted to have fills only it would be £120 for first fill and then £85 thereafter but they are not too keen on giving new bandsters this service? I was definately under the impression the £350 was all inclusive you must find out and let us all know. J x:eek:
  3. Hi Ive bought nurofen melts and chewable multi vitamins and arnica on 3 4 2 at boots:thumbup:
  4. I phoned Coleen again and she says it is now new company policy not to offer new bandsters the 6 month package but she will do her best and ask her boss if I can have it. Thanks for all you help Bobo. J x:rolleyes2:
  5. Hi Teebird I phoned her back and she says it is now new company policy not to offer new bandsters the 6 month deal. as of the 2nd of June, however she is going to ask her superior if I can get it since I am only couple of days out. J:crying:
  6. I may have to scroll through all the items to find out unless someone knows its them. Please let me know. J:cursing:
  7. Hi bobbaldy she says they dont offer 6 months packages to new banders its only 12 months or 18 months. A bit dissapointed. J x:closedeyes:
  8. Thanks for the quick reply bobobaldy. J x
  9. Gary do you see what youve started with they pink speedos!!!! :wub:
  10. who hoa well done Odge!:wub:
  11. Hi there I know you gave me the details before bobobaldy but I cant for the life of me find the phone no. for wls Glasgow I want to arrange my package with them. Can you tell me the phone no. again. Cheers J:cursing:
  12. Yes thanks for reminding me. One girl gets a gastric bypass and the other gets a band. I hear one of them is only 13years old. I am definately watching this
  13. Thats great odge and you havent had any fills yet!! The weather is fantastic and can you believe it Gary out with his pink speedos.:party:
  14. Good luck suefee. Westie will that be 4 weeks since you had your op when you get your first fill on the 18th? Tee bird I can imagine its hard after having the band fitted and having no restriction, How long do you reckon the restriction wears off after operation. I know everyone is different but just a rough guide ie. do you think you could eat everything that you could before?
  15. thanks tee bird. I just dont want to get them cut off. How are you doing? Is your band what you expected it to be so far?:party:
  16. Thanks for the tip Gary but tried that and many other slippy squelchy things, That sounds bad:sneaky: How is your weight loss going? Isnt this weather glorious everyone. If only I was thin I would pull on a bikini and sunbathe in my back garden:cursing:
  17. I am having my band fitted on the 26/06/09 I have waited half my life for this so another 4 weeks aint gonna matter.
  18. I see you have to remove nail varnish rings etc for the operation but my fingers have got so darn fat I cant get my wedding and engagement ring off and I dont really want to have them cut. Did anyone else have this problem
  19. My graphics are wonky today. Congratulations Westie you have put my mind at ease, 4 weeks yesterday until my op Wooo Hooo!!!
  20. Hi odge thats great news about the nurse. Did you ask your doctor to refer you or did he do this off his own back. Didnt he ask you why you didnt take follow up care, oh and is the nurse going to do your fills. J x:blushing:
  21. Hi all found this inspiring story but be warned it takes a while to read. WCMessenger presents: A Losing Battle
  22. Hi fatduck I know exactly how you feel. I am having mine done on the 26th June and I am eating things I would never normally eat. I Dont understand it. Yesterday I ate a full bag of chocolate covered raisins, I dont even like bl!!!dy raisins. It must be a physcological thing. Anyone else do the same before banding?:smile:
  23. I thought ecfs only went to Edinburgh in Scotland I didnt know they came to Glasgow, thought it was just wls? Where in Glasgow are they.:thumbup:
