Hi Mrs D

DO YOU ALSO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON FILL DOCTORS IN THIS COUNTRY. iT SEEMS TO BE THAT YOU CAN ONLY USE THE dR OR GROUP WHO DID THE BANDING.

Hi

Just wondered if there is a support group in Guildford, Surrey or nearby. It would be very helpful. I was banded in September and have lost approximately 10Ibs. I have been tightened twice, the second time just before Christmas, but it is really weird as it has only been since February/ March that the golf ball effect has occurred. Hopefully now that this has kicked in I should lose weight more easily. Also summer time should help.

Looking forward to your reply

Hi there hope this info will help. If u pm me with your enmail addy I will pass it on to Josie who runs the group and she will contact you to confirm details of next meeting.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Surrey Support Group happens every first Wednesday of every month at the Holiday Inn , Hugo's bar in Woking.We meet up in a small mezzanine between the bar and the restaurant, on the right hand side of the entrance. You'll find us sitting at a large table, close to the cigar machine. The parking is free, when you get to the barrier, just tell reception you are going to Hugo's bar, they will let you in; you can park downstairs in the garage or in the open air if there are any spaces. If you are coming with the train , the Holiday Inn is less then 5 minutes walking from the station. This is the link for the map and direction: <a href="http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/...irection/xwow target="_blank">http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/...irection/xwowk

      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?

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?

      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! 😞
