Hi fattypatty, have you tried duofertilly one of my friend tried it and she got pregnant she had only one ovary! if you want more information go on their site duofertilitty.

goodluck

Ah Thank you Claire and everyone, good to know it's not just me that thinks she was being a tad harsh.

Yeah my weight etc is well documented and has been since I was 19 cos of my PCOS etc, and we have already been down the route with consultants in the past, had all the tests etc done including hubs (he's fine, just me that doesn't work) and then it has all ground to a halt again because of the weight, hence why I did this, so feel quite gutted that my efforts are still not deemed to be good enough.

Really, really, really hoping that I fall pregnant naturally especially as my monthly's have returned 3 times in a row, which hasn't happened for years! Still don't appear to be ovulating so want to get prescribed Clomid again at least.

Just need to shift a few more pounds before I see her on the14th and try and convince her,

Will keep you all posted, and thanks for listening to my moans and offering support

Hi Freckles, sorry to hear about your daughter hope she is doing ok.

My youngest daughter had her 3rd fill last thursday and has restriction, she now has 6ml in.

Chris Deprez put 1 ml in mine bringing me up to 7 thats the most I've ever had in and its great, I dont even feel hungry, I have to force myself to eat, and we're talking 3 desertspoonfuls of Soup and I'm stuffed!!!

Bring on the weightloss, this is what its all about.

Hi all ! i am feeling very low i had 4 fills in all 6mls in my band but i have stop losing weight!! i walked 3.5 miles a day to and from work and eat a low calorie diet.Anybody been through that?

Hi Everybody! glad to see everyone is getting on well with their weight lost!!

I was banded in August 2010 and have since lost 28llb i have had 3 fills that is 7mls in my band i feel very restrictedcan hardly eat but yet theweight is not comming off!!

I don't think i need another fill i eat very little but i don't know why my weight is not shifting!!! Slinky and MD we in the same boat

any advise?

thanks

Hi everybody!! I haven't been here for quite a while now been busy at work and theweather hasworne me out , I am ooking foward for the christmasholidays next week , i really need some rest.

Freackles thanks for your reply about your fills! sorry to hear about your mum i hope she get better.

Slinky hope you doing well i have had my third fill already ihave now 6.5 mls in my band lost 2lbs in the first week then it stops. Iam having my 4th fill in jan now!!

Hya chick, hope you're good too. I could have sworn I replied to this a few days ago:unsure:

I seem to have acid in my chest all the time, so I have resorted to a teaspoon full of vinegar, but the next morning it starts again :w00t:

Cant wait to get my de-fill, 3 weeks today:thumbup:

Meant to say Jane , whom I met in Belgium told me she has Whey Protein every day and it fills her up no end, and you know you're getting complete protein without all the calories.

The first day, I struggled taking it with semi-skimmed milk, even though you only have 200/250 mls, to a scoop. It didnt want to go down, then I had stomach pains all afternoon, then needed the loo later on. (Sorry to be explicit):blushing:

The next day (yesterday) I mixed it with cold Water and was much better.

So I'm going to keep on with this and see if my weight drops, Jane told me her mum takes it (not banded) and her skin is filling out nicely, hoping this will happen to me, cos I have so much loose skin, everywhere, cos of my age probably.

Will let you know how I go.

hi freckles,

can i ask yoy how many fills you had and how much mls before you started losing weight?

hi slinky,

how r u finding ur second fill? r u losing every week?

Bloody hell Fatduck, you have done so well!!!!

Have you got before and after pics, be great to see you.

I'll have to get some taken, keep forgetting.

Hi freckles, hope you ok honey!!

hope everybody is doing well.

well since having had my 2nd fill with a total of 5mls 3weeks ago i have lost 1lb. I am not eatting as much and at least walking 4miles twice a week but the weight is not shifting.

hi sher hun chin up and you too laila,i got 2.5 my second fill and it has really made a difference so sher if you get another l or 1.5ml next time you will feel it hun and your next fill you will to laila,i think its helped me walking my dogs everyday for about 40 mins,but so far so good

hi slinky... you doing well girl!! how come he put 2.5ml in yours he said the max was 2ml that was with fredrick!!

hi Sher,

well I have 1ml more then you but still no restriction even though i am eatting healthy but still big portion!!

I suppose the good thing is we are not putting on weight!

Laila - I hav'nt been on the site for a while but had time today and have read last few pages. I was really looking for advice as am in the same situation as you.

Know just how you feel - I was banded on 27 July and lost 14lb in the 1st 6weeks since then I've only lost another 2lb and nothing at all last month.

I chose to keep my fills small so far have had 2 both with 2mls. I am hardly feeling any rescritition and can eat more now than i could a few weeks ago.

What is going on. I was hoping to have lost at least 2 stone by xmas very disappointed.

Sher :wink2:

Hi Angel, well I have 5mls in my band as i had 3mls on my first fill!!

Hey you!

You must be at 3 then? I must admit if you're paying for it - surely he could have put more in?

How fast can you get your next fill ordered????? Chin up honey - you must feel peed off but it's better to be comfortable than uncomfortable eating wise??

I had first fill a week ago - 5 mls - and am struggling lots - I joked at time (but a little seriously ;0P) could my Bariatric Surgeon shove 8 in instead?! He said no way have to do it little by little - as still wants me to be able to enjoy a little food - my gawd am I glad he didn't put anymore than what he put in - I have to be sick if I eat any solids!!!! I'm only a week in so maybe it's a chewing learning thing or something... or maybe I need a de-fill but have read that many get restriction bout 4-5??

Good luck hon x

Hi all, I am very upset had my second fill yesterday and frederick put 2mls in i feel no restriction at all!! i did ask him to put 2.5 but he said he can't and the next time he will put 1ml!! the 10 kg that i lost that is 20llbs was during the first week after the operation then i have not lost any for 10 weeks even after my first fill!! I really don't know is this is going to work for me!!

Hi Slinky, I am so happy for you I can see you have lost a few pounds after your second fill,I can't wait for my second fill on thursday, the thing is I tend to loss in the first week after i have the fill then it dosen't shift anymore!!!

Hi Freckles, good luck for your daughter,one might not see the change quickly but eventually having the band dose change your life! I have lost 10kg over 2 months I lost most of it the first 2 weeks of the opp and then another 3kg after my first fill, it is slow but without the band I wouldn't have been able to do it and maintain it as well!

hi slinky have you had your second fill yet?

Hi all, been really busy with work i am looking forward for the half term break next week I'm also very excited I am having my second fill. Well have had no weight lost after the first fill despite eatting small potion but have lost a total of 10kg since the surgery in August.

hi all iv just been banded i have a bit of wind and my port side is sore but apart from that im ok

hope you feeling ok lynda!!

Hello All

I had my 1st fill today in London at Upper Wimpole Street. I went early and then had a little treat doing some retail therapy (only bought 3 gingerbread men in John Lewis for the children and Mark) and had lunch there as well. That was lovely I had Tomato and basil Soup and then walked out onto Cavendish Square and up Harley Street and then cut across onto Wimpole Street and then Upper Wimpole. Very easy and quick, although the rain was dreadful!

Very professional service at the Vein Clinic. It was lovely to meet other band clients and share. I had my fill done by Chris Dupres - very pleasant and exceptionally professional. Fill didn't hurt just took a while to get in. But fine. I could feel the Fluid going in (bit odd) but all ok. He was impressed with how much I had lost in terms of weight and inches.

So I had fill today and am booked again for the 28th October and then I will go again on the 25th November and then wait until January as we are away.

Will post tomorrow as it's weigh day. Not holding my breath as I have had an awful week and felt really poorly with this horrible virus! Don't think I will have lost anything at all.

Anyway take care.

Hi MummiesBBi had my fill at the london clinic as well yesterday, i am having my next fill on the 28th oct at 2.30 what time is your appointment?

Hi everybody, had my 1st fill yesterday, yes it was quite painful for me but got over it! I must say i found Chris Dupres very charming i hope he will be the one doing my fills all the time!! met a few ladise there which i invited to join the forum one of them lost 10 stone over 2 years she look fab!

well I don'y know if i a restricted yet with that fill but i can have only half cup of Soup compare to before the fill i can't say much until i start eatting solid again.

Wannabe have you lost any weight since your fill?

lemma one thing i did notice after my opp is i was very confused and depress, feeling very sad!! and was very irritated by my husband (poor thing he was just taking care of me) but after 3 weeks i was back to normal and looking back at the bad experince i had made me realise that i am stronger then i thought!!

well goodluck to everyone getting banded or fills!!

I am going for my first fill today in london at 2.40 is anybody else going there? i just hope it dosen't hurt can't bear anymore pain!!

Its 2.33am and I'm in the hotel. After an ultrasound i was told I had a haematoma on the muscle which they think caused the bleed.

I'm not ashamed to say that it has scared me.

I feel rubbish and I am in a lot of pain from where the port is and the extra stitches. The trapped gas is god awful and feels like my stomach is about 3" from my throat.

I keep asking myself "what have I done?"

Be prepared everyone who is yet to go - this is quite a big op.

I need to try and sleep but it hurts to lay down and I can't get comfortable.

I didn't want this to be a moaning reply but I can't fib cos this is no easy option.

I hope I feel better soon. Nite nite x

Lemma the worst is over it will get better everyday, i had a different problem from you I said the same thing "what have i done"? but everyone is so supportive on this site we all motivate each other here and when everybody told me it will get better everyday they meant it!! now i don regret it at all!!
