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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
