hun i think he puts them all on the left side,but you couldemail him and he will tell you and that will ease your mind,he take a bit of time to get back to you but he will,send him a couple of emails,or go and visit them and have a chat when they are in your area,were you from

i had a great experience,no probs did seem a bit strange payin at hotel and all,but its all fine,hospital are sooo clean and it goes so smooth you meet one of them in the hotel and then the dr next day,i would do it again in a flash xx

dont worry hun i got mine done alone,you will meet plenty of peeps to talk to,just travel light so you dont have too much weight wnen you have had your surgery

hi hun are you going over to belgium or having it all done in uk ?,i know how you feel hun i got banded in 2010 and ive never had an x ray,i just thought if all is ok leavi it alone,i would go if i were having any probs but its up to you hun and how you feel,if you really want it checked then you will be better getting it done,i know of quite a few peeps who havnt had an xray and they are all fine though,decisions,decisions,hth xx

and im a bit concerned by your name HAZARD ha ha lol,you sound like your gonna be trouble,oh well bring it on,joking by the way,yes i was banded by dr chris,he isnt shady or anything,you get excellent care for half the price at the time i paid 3500 in pound for mine and im really pleased are you from dublin hun ? by the way i read your profile and at your weight of 133 pounds you prob wont get a band he he he,any question just ask hun

dont worry pet they wont even ask you,you will get your fill no probs,ive never been asked xx

hi hazard im sorry im not a bloke but hopefully one of them will come on and talk but you can still have all of them things in moderation hun,its not the end of things as we know it lol xx

hi jo they do like you to have a x ray,but i never had one and im banded in 2010 and still getting fills hun

so pleased for you hun,sounds like all went well just take it easy and enjoy your recovery hope to see pics soon xxxx

hi natalie and good luck on your band journey,freddy will soon be in touch with another date dont worry hun you will get a date in july it's so exciting isnt it lol,be careful not to overeat while your waiting thats what i done lol and put on another 2 stone while waiting to get band he he

how you finding it now mini me have you started on mushy foods yet lol,i couldnt wait he he

hi all i had 7ml in my band and could barley eat i went and got 1.5ml out and how wonderful does an omlette taste lol i dont mind if i put a bit of weight on i just want to eat a bit,because i can always go back and get a fill but not for a few months yet food glorious food lol

if my memory serves me well i think i was eating the same as you hun,so just hold out for a wee bit longer lol,but yes you start to feel hungry again as your band is empty on your first fill you will get i think its 3ml,then the second you get about 2.5 and i personally think anythink after these two fills your band really starts to work but good luck hun xx

hi all i eat a lot of home made soup,and i eat salmon with cottage cheese seems to be ok fo me but everyone is different in what they can eat,i do eat a lot of crap as well choc and ice cream but the weight still come off just slower

mini me hope your doing ok hun and all has gone well

poor you amanda i havnt heard of anyone having so many problems i have heard of a leak or a port problem which has been sorted out by the team,but i understand that your feeling why me so would i hunny i hate surgery,could you not ask them to do a sleeve by pass at this point if they are having problems with the band i dont know if you would wnat that or not im just thinking if it was me,becaus i would hate all the messing about when you just want to loose weight or ask them what they think should be done at this stage i hope you get somthing sorted hun keep us posted xx

ps forgot to say you have to give yourself injections after op,they are given to you,and honestly dont hurt at all im needle phobic and had to do my own and they arnt bad at all just grab a bit of fat on your tummy and pop it in all wil be great xx

just travel light especially if your on your own,like i was cause your quite tender,i took a portable dvd player and movies to watch and just rested most of the day in my bed lol,when you get to the hospital your taxi normally come around 6 i got the hotel to waken me at 5.30 so i could shower,when you arrive go in the hospital and to the right is a waiting room you take a ticket and sit and wait until your number is called,then they sort you out and you go up to the wards,were you meet chris debruyne for a quick run over surgery,you then get into you gown and put your white surgical stockins on ready for surgery i got a time for my surgery not everone does thou,i asked for a pre med tablet of the nurse to calm me down as i panic about everything,and bear in mind when they come and take you form the ward you think this is is,its not you go to a waiting room in the surgery but it dosnt take that long and before you know it your waking up in recovery depending on how you cope,if your not coping well they give you morphine otherwise you just get a strong painkiller lol good luck and believe me when you wake up after surgery yes you are sore but the next day the pain halves and isnt that bad and its deffo worth it hun,cant wait to see how you get on,ps there is wifi if you want to take a pc xx

hi mini me firstly dont forget your pasport or they wont do it hun you need it for id,i just went in loose clothing jogging bottoms and a baggy t shirt as you bloat and a pair of crocs,for the hospital i just had a wee bag with toiletries and a hand towel,thats all you need hun because your out of it most of the day after op,well i was and the next morning i just put back on the clothes i went in,because you wear one of their gowns for surgery so no need for pjs,and the next day back at the hotel i just drank water and took pain killers which they give you take a mug because the ones in the hotel arnt any good,and you could take a couple of milkshakes incase you get hungry but you wont lol and maybe some windeeze incase you get trapped wind i never but some peeps did good luck hun any more questions just ask

well done big daddy,the support is brilliant and dosnt it eel good to see the weight comming off,well done hun,and nat dont worry too much everyone is different i have lost the same amount of weight as you and i was banded in july 2010 slow and steady is good,i know with myself it can sometimes take 6 weeks before i see even a couple of pound if im lucky but i go up and down all the time,im not that worried i just feel better at the size i am now instead of nearly 17 stone lol,im planning off having a 1ml defill so i can eat more as somedays i can only eat chocolate as that is all that will go down so i eat it just for some energy,and ive started taking vitamin b and spa tone lol hope it will help with energy and hair lol

good luck or next week mini and dont worry your not living in a dream world it worked for all of us hun xx
