Had mine with Spire in Wrexham. Andrew Baker. Very happy with care before and after. Staff are great and always happy to give advice. Had few stuck episodes which they were great with phoning me back and putting mind at ease that it will shift eventually which it did. Not an easy option for weight loss you have to work at it.

Your so right that's it's not an easy option. Think a lot of people think your banded, don't eat as much and that's it weight falls off. It is tougher and certainly a life change. But all said and done I'd do it again in a heart beat x

I got a call from the dietician on Wednesday and she asked me how my chat with the nurse went, she was pretty shocked when I told her no one has spoken to me since I left Dolan park, she eas very apologetic and said I should have had a couple of phone chats with a nurse!! So I'm feeling pretty hard done by at the moment and unsure if what to do.... I'm quite easy going and I don't wanna kick up a fuss especially since everything seems to be going ok with me, think ill just keep my mouth shut lol

I'm totally prepared for this journey and the hard work it's going to take, it helps knowing I have you lovely ladies to call upon if I'm struggling :)

Take care

Gavin from Huddersfield. Banded 5th June. 6foot1. Was originally 28 stone 3 years ago. Lost 6.5 on Atkins diet. Put 1.5 back on in last year so was keen to get this weight increase nipped in the bud. Lost over a stone since 2 weeks before surgery. Losing 2lbs a day since surgery on 5th. NUTS.

      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!!

      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... :(
