Hi all, i have just been banded 12th february and hopefully all going well. I hope to join your forum and look forward to supporting others at the same time. How are u all getting on, and any tips welcome. As i hope this 6k is the best money i have spent after years of silly diets. i am hoping to lose approx 3 stone and hopefully stop bingeing, as this is my downfall. I hope this will control my portion sizes and get back to normal.

look forward to joining

Hi Shirley - how are you getting on?? did you go with the hospital group? I was banded on Feb 3rd with them, mine went so well, really hope yours did too! if youre getting on anything like me then 3 stone will drop off by the summer! im 4 weeks in and 23lbs down - it is amazing, cant beleive i didnt do this sooner! Im now at your staring weight of 101kg :)

this forum thing seems to work for lots on here, but i was doing well on my own so didnt need to rely on it as much as i thought i would, so i havent really been logging on, i noticed you havent been on for a while so maybe you found the same? I only just got your email - thanks and sorry for not replying sooner! deffo up for buddying up if you think it would be good for us to support each other ? xnic

Hi everyone

I am getting banded on the sixth of April 2011

Using a group called gravitas have any one used them?

Costing £5590. And the option 2 of extra insurance for 5 yrs.

Has any one else added the extra insurance for anything that might go wrong which cost an extra £1500

Any advice of what u took pre op and then week after

Would be appreciated

Many thanks for including me

Jill

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
