Not silly at all, you're right to want to be organised. We've all been there Hun xx

Yes there were lockers by the beds... don't worry! (you only share the room with one other person anyway). Good luck, you'll be fine and wont regret it xx

Haha thanks slinks, you're right... imagine if I didn't have the band I'd be eating my way thru choc cake all week lol. At least I have a bit more confidence to go out now, but imagine having to explain surgery scars etc. I think I'd rather become a nun than go near men again anyway! Sounds like a good plan with your hubby... keeps them on their toes! xxx

Thanks so much for the kind words Fatpants (or shoud that be skinny pants!! congrats on the mega weight loss!). That's sweet that your hubby proposed again, I hope you guys can sort things out. You could get a babysitter and get hubby to take you on a romantic date.. and maybe even a hotel haha xx

Wow you look fantastic... very inspirational! x

Hi, Hope everyone is doing well. I'm having a horrible week as my boyfriend of 7 years finished with me. Was so surprised & didn't see it coming at all. After losing 5 stone now I'm feeling better than I ever have (or I was!) and now this... argh. We own everything together this break up is gonna be a nightmare. The idea of dating again... eek help!! x

I had a similar problem recently, I had a defill at my local hospital but yesterday Frederick said that if it happens again you should drink cold drinks as they can reduce stomach swelling (like running your finger under a cold tap after you hit it with a hammer!) and not to have anything hot until you can swallow again. His email is: frederik.serneels@ecfs.be Good luck! x

You could try having a couple of detox days... just eat healthy Soup. This might shrink your stomach and you wont have so much of an appetite afterwards. I'm having the same problem as you.. I haven't been able to stop eating today! this is what I'm going to try. Good luck!

Thanks hun.. checked out their site and they do have a london clinic... bit pricey though as they make you have an initial medical assessment first for £125 and then their fill is another £95! Their 6 month package is £345 which i think works out a bit better for anyone wanting more than 4 fills. Their website has some good stuff on it - diet tips etc. Luckily there is a CDB fill clinic this thurs which is 1/2 term so I'm ok now... phew!! Already snacking lots now I have no restriction - not good If anyone wants this years fill timetable (CDB) I have an electronic copy which I can send out. xxx

Thanks Slinky, you're doing amazingly well!! We'll all be posing on the beach this summer! ;0) I've been trying to get through to the fill line today to book up but they're not answering her phone. Its been difficult to get fills as teachers aren't allowed time off during term and the london clinics don't seem to fall at the right time for 1/2 term etc. Does anyone know who else I can contact about fills? Another company that does them in London or the south? x

Hi everyone! I haven't been on here for a while - just wanted to post a cautionary tale... yesterday I had to have a complete de-fill & spent 7 hrs in hospital just for not chewing a pizza slice well enough! The dough got stuck in my stomach and I was violently sick over 30 times in 2 days - couldn't even keep water down and was in loads of pain. Was up all night for the past 2 nights with the worst reflux imaginable... So I'll never eat pizza/dough again... and will make sure I chew food better from now on. Disappointed I have to start again with the fills... but so relieved I'm able to drink again now. Hope everyone else is doing well! Em x

Haven't been here for a couple of months so just popping in to say hi! After my 1st fill I couldn't feel any restriction and ate loads & felt crappy & depressed until my 2nd fill 2 weeks ago. Seems to have really done the trick and I'm finally losing weight again (hurrah!)... despite some throwing up :crying:/reflux issues (URG!). Hope everyone is well... xxx
