  1. Good morning all, Does anyone know the date of the next newport Fill Clinic?
  2. Jayne I will in newport come the next fill day, hopfully see u there. Coming via bristol if you want a lift.
  3. This was in feb, was deffo free then. On a lighter note I finally got restriction now I had my 3rd fill. Got 10ml in a 14 band and it just right :-)
  4. Hotel has free wireless internet and a pc in thr lobby you can pay and use as well. I would take ur laptop and a few films cos it does get boring sat in ur room.no blueys though cos u don't want to strain urself :-)
  5. Here's a thought folks why don't we have a banded by doctor chris meet up somewhere?
  6. You aint been scammed hun. Fred is an arse on emails but a good bloke I sent em the full amount by bank transfer with no problem but I was bricking it for a while :-). X
  7. Sussie, Don't forget a proper mug cos the ones in the hotel are shite. I would also take some trackies as they will be easier on ur tum. You will be fine hun x
  8. This really concerns me. I spoke to both Frederick & Dr Chris about possible revision surgery should something go wrong and they both advised me of the following. 1. If I use Fred & Chris for my fills exclusively then any remedial surgery required will be covered by Dr Chris. 2. If I use a 3rd Party filler who then damages anything then any warranty is void. This means that as long as you use their dedicated filling service your warranty is void. If they are advising us we have a guarantee then reneging on any guarantees when they are required then we all need to make our feeling known. Please keep us posted on this as it affects us all.
  9. Personally I would not dream of using a third party filler like wls. If they were to puncture your port or tubung you have no comeback. If chris's team puncture it they repair it for free. If you got to wls you could invalidate your warranty :-)
  10. I was surprised when fred said that as well, didn't think it was that big. They said no grub for 2 days does that mean sun or mon?
  11. You will soon lose that now you have your fill, just a case of grinding it down x
  12. Images added to a gallery album owned by cankster in Member Photo Gallery
    pre weightloss, a weight loss surgery photo album by cankster on BariatricPal. 2 photos in Member Photo Gallery.
  13. Thank you i have popped a pic of me pre weightloss on my profile x
  14. Yes thats it, I went form nearly 25 stone to 13 and a half about 18 months ago. Since then its been steadily creeping up so decided to do this proactivly before it became a big problem. Nice to put names to faces, very small room wasnt it.
  15. Well the fill went well got 6mls in my 20ml band. The protein shakes are definately gurgling down slower. Also got told by fred that the lump under my port was a bleed. He reckons its not a problem and will disperse of its own accord over the next few months. Fortunately it did not effect his ability to find port (although he thought it would). Very painless and simple.
