  1. Thank you for that, I'm sure I'll be blubbing for any help I can get. I've fantasised about being banded for years now but never actually looked in to it until now. This thread has helped me immensely already, it's given more answers than anything I've read anywhere else and everyones frankness has been an eye- opener. I know its not gonna be like in my fantasies where I get banded, the weight drops off me with ease and I turn into a wee honey in no time at all. Reading this thread has made me think realistically and helped in my decision to go ahead with it, the good results seem to out-weigh the bad days (one blog I read somewhere scared the bejeezus out of me and nearly damn-well put me off for life). I managed to get in touch with Bridget and shes going to call back with a date, probably July 1st or there abouts now.
  2. Thanks for the replies Homecare & Gillian and for the welcome Freckles. I agree with you Gillian, she is pretty scary!!:smile: definately gonna give her a body swerve. I was totally confused about the websites available & who represented who but you've made it clear now. There was a phone call for me this morning which I missed (at work) and an email I've just received from Bridget. I posted an enquiry and she got back saying I've passed your details onto the surgeon for the next available date. She followed it up with a 2nd email saying the next dates 23rd of June Wednesday and Friday afterward for surgery. Now I'm really confused what does that mean:huh2: If you hadn't said she was with Dr Chris I probably would have emailed her saying I only enquired what a cheek blah blah.
  3. Hi everyone, this is my first post. Does anyone know how I can book directly with Dr Chris? I've been reading old posts where a few people have said this is a good way to go. I've been contacted by a lady called Tullia, from one of the many sites that I enquired to and she seems, quite frankly, a bit pushy and rather alarming she wants the cash drafted tomorrow not really giving me any time to mull things over (or get a bank loan sorted !!!) I'd appreciate any feedback from y'all. Cheers xxx
