Hey guys I had my band fitted in Dublin with the Park West Clinic ... I can't say enough good things about them ;)

Price was great and no hassle having it done just pay and go lol x

I'm hoping to find fellow Irish Bander's on here for chats on the up & downs of living with our bands ... I'm only 8 weeks banded so still at the learning stages so all advice welcome ...

Hi

I had my band fitted with ACS in 2007 and we all know how that turned out!! Anyway I have been getting after care from ECFS who come here twice a month however it now looks like my band is not working, its at maximum restriction but I can eat three times the amount I used to eat a year ago and I have put a stone back on. Feel sick at the thought of all that work I put in going to waste and I will end up putting it all back on. ECFS think my band needs to be replaced and have offered my a good price, my previous surgeon (with ACS) offered to replace the band for €5,000 but I am worried about going abroad, Auralia in Dublin have quoted a price of €7,500 with a band that has been medically approved with a year's after care.

I was just wondering what bandsters think, my family don't understand how important it is to me, that I don't put this weight back on also I had hoped to loose another 3 stone before this happened.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

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

      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! 😞
