Hi there, I live in Buckinghamshire and have not had the band fitted yet, however I have my consultation in London with the Elyzea Clinic on Oct 27th 2006. Hopefully, my surgery date will be really soon. My surgeons name is Dr Mignon and he will perform the surgery in Belgium. Is there anyone else who has been banded through this clinic?

Thanks

Gillian

Hi to all of you bandsters in England!!! Sounds like you are all having good results. I live in the U.S. and was just banded on August 17 and went for my first fill today. I felt like I had little restriction and after a conservative fill of 1cc we will see if there is more restriction. Have lost 27 pounds so far before my fill.

We have been doing alot of research on England as our 22 year old son is applying through Idaho State University in Pocatello, where we live, to go to college at Plymouth or UCLAN in Preston. He also put in for Huddersfield?? and Sunderland. He is a Business Management Major(junior/senior status) and plans to go for a full school year and hopes to work while there for a few hours each week. I hear from people that we know that have lived in England that they would love to go back and live there if it weren't so expensive!!! People we talk to said they just loved it in England!

Any one know anything about any of these colleges??? Our son has been planning this trip for almost two year. He is an avid soccer player himself and Manchester United is his favorite team. He had the chance to see them play when they were in Seattle Washington 3 years or so ago. He loves the British way of life, he thinks, so wants to live it !

Keep up the good work all of you in the U.K. !!

Thanks,

Paige

My husband and I will hope to go to visit our son while he is there .

      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?

      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
