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 :)

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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
