wannabe slinky

well done charlene and dub girl,i also was in alot of pain after surgery but each day it defo gets better lol,well your both at the start of your new journey and now fully fledged bandsters lol xx

well to go into hospital i just wore the clothes i was comming back out in cause you can hang them up,which was lose jogging bottoms cause your stomach swells and a baggy t shirt,and just my washbag and hand towel,because i showered in the hotel the morning of op oh and underwear lol and dont forget your passport u need it or they wont do the surgery.i took shakes for after the op slimfast because you really dont feel like eating and the pain killers they give you are fine,you could take a couple of extra ones just incase and take some windeeze incase you get the dredded trapped wind after surgery lol

hi blondy frederik is some guy you always wait ages for him to reply so email him again and just ask him has he received it yet,if i would have gone for my band without reading all of this site lol i would think i had been ripped off lol,but they are really great people just bit slow at emailing,it does get exciting as the time gets closer have you got your wee bits in for your trip yet i was packed weeks before lol

does he do a package for it like he done for band and is it expensive,what was pain like compared to band and recovery time soz for questions just curious xx

well done fatpants omg that is brill,where did you get your tt done hun and was it a good job xx

hi julie was you banded in june,how have you got on how many fill's and what weight loss xx

thats great target what kind of insurance is it and how much im in north of ireland and we also have quinn dont know if they do that insurance lol good luck for ya surgery xx

you will be fine hun you can ask reception for a alarm call at 6 if you like so you can take a shower that's what i done let us know how you get on keep us posted xx

thanks claire that would be great hun,my next fill is on 20th cant wait as i can still eat a fair bit,you might be better leaving this month claire and c how you get on as your doing so well and without the acid reflux,well done hun x

aww thanks mmm and freckles im just doing for others what you lot done for me lol,it's the only way to learn lol,claire what x ray is it we need as i will need to find one here in ni as i dont like flying and dont fancy driving again lol

if i was you hun i would eat some of the things you really like and feel like your gonna miss out on and eat normal and start your diet 10 days before and just put it in your head your doing the eating good thing for your surgery to shrink your liver,i also took milk thistle tablets to help too( freckles idea) a good one too felt they did help cause i couldnt do the low fat diet i was stuck in holland and the food was awful so i had to eat mcdonalds and pizza hun i dont eat meat so found it very hard to eat their food lol.when you have had the surgery you wont want to eat hun believe me i didnt for 10 days then i started getting appetite back,first fill dosnt do nothing other than fill your band the second one starts to restrict but as you lose weight it still needs tightened,because i didnt know you lose weight on the inside as well as the outside so your band gets loser as you lose weight so try and get your first few fills each month xx

hi carrie i remember you hun and well done,congrats on baby what did you have?The format is horrible isnt it i dont like it anyway was use to the old one lol,it shouldnt take you long to lose your baby weight bet your glad to have band to rely on,is your mum still doing your fills hun xx

sorry hh didnt see your post till now i would put it down to stress,when you get a bug or illness it can sometimes make your band automatically tighten if i were you just try cup a soup or just soup and see how it goes,or sometimes it's the opposite cold things like an ice lolly or really cold drink let us know how you get on hun. blondy forgot to ask what date have you got xx

hi blondy i was like you,happy one min worried the next and eat like a horse and put anothe r20lb on waiting to get done lol,but no hun they dont take cards it has to be cash and alothough it seems a bit cloak and dagger when you meet up in the hotel to pay it's ok honest,just be careful with the cash but as soon as you get to hotel frederik meets you and take it off you well aroun 6ish and dont worry about asking questions that is what were all here for so ask away but pack light lol xx

aww great to c ya back freckles you will soon have that weight off hun xx and good luck to all the ones going out on mon and well done claire

i too get the mucas and find when i start swallowing my eyes water and it seems to sit ontop of the mucas,then i am normally sick lol,ive started having porrige in the morn, a nimble bread sandwhich with tuna for lunch then soup or a small meal or what the family is having but i think you have done really well hun xx

laila i still eat loads especially rubbish lol,but it is now a new year and ive started eating 3 meals a day and have lost the 6 pound i put on lol but it is slow,i think your body is just stabilizing and the weight will just start comming off itself hun xx

here is the nurse who goes to your home to do fills think she is a bit pricey but not sure,got her email off a friend on facebook,for any of you that want it http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gastricbandfill.com%2F&h=e561cUR8TO56_-eFrhrjfqRqVZw
