I, too am seeing Dr Mignon on 13th October, so there are 3 of us, I can make out who are pre banding with him. I'm also a member of the WLS site and there are a couple of girls who were banded last week by him!

No probs for them so far. I'm feeling pretty confident about him now!

Hi there, if you're looking for people who've already been banded by Elyzea, then have a look at WLSinfo.co.uk In the past week two people have been banded there (can't remember their names... sorry!) I'm going to see Dr Mignon myself on Friday, too, but will probably wait until after Christmas.

I know it's the sensible option but I'm impatient to lose some flab in the meantime!

I've been really busy today, went to Swansea, and Cardiff to see clients and then back home. Very impressed with myself as I'm back before 6 for the first time this week.

I'm now beginning to feel a little apprehensive about tomorrow. What if he says I'm not suitable for the op?

OMG! I still have to tell OH what I've decided to do!

Ok, ok... deep breaths, calm calm calm... What will be will be!

Hi anon,

I know what you mean i am trying to lose weight now before i go for my op in may i have worked out i can lose about a stone and i can still have op as my bmi will still be above the 35 required.

Im sure youl be ok and still be able to have op. Ask the doc if you can lose weight in the mean time while waiting for op.

Hope this helps

My BMI is quite low compared to most, at only just 35 at the moment, the problem is that is was 27 in May! and last August it was 45! As you can see I'm either gaining of losing weight, I've never really managed the maintaining part of it :-(. I just don't seem to have the 'off' switch, that says, 'stop now' until I've eaten about 3000 calories in one sitting, which can't be good for you can it? I'm more concerned about the incessant yo-yo dieting that I've engaged in for the past 22 years of my life. I've been slim a few times, but it's just like a bounce on a trampoline, I've no sooner landed, before I'm on the rebound up again. It's just a bit of a nightmare and I want something to help to keep me at the lower end of the spectrum. I only want to be healthy, I don't want to be a supermodel!

Hi anon,

I can see your problem. You have no problem losing it its keeping it off thats the problem.

Hopefully then the surgery is the answer to your problems then as it should stop you putting the weight back on.

Dont worry everything will be alright at the consultation I will be thinking of you. let me know how you get on and when you decide surgery is to be. I know i cant wait to go for mine.

Who are you having surgery with?

Good luck

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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!!
