Hi Caroline

I too was banded by Mr Toh but in Farnham, Clare Park. When were you banded and how is it going?

Best wishes

Any one close to me? I'm 27 years old and am hopefully having my band fitted in the 1st or 2nd week of April (in spring hols)

Can't wait..... I hope there are no hurdles or hold ups as I'd like a weight loss before summer when my boyfriend wants to go on a diving hol. It's only so that I won't need half a ton of diving weights to keep me from floating to the bloody surface! HAHA :tt2:

(that's not the only reason I want the band... I've been wanting it for 3 years now....)

Gill :-) :rolleyes2:

If your having the Band on the NHS don`t be too suprised if they cancel on the last minute because they have no beds. I was gutted when mine was cancelled 8 hours before the op because the surgeons wife had been taken into hospital. I had to wait a further 2 months then for my op. The op was pain free and I felt brilliant after but I did take Vitamins & Q10 to build me up before the op.

hi there,

I'm Tracie not far from Clacton in Essex.

Recently moved here only last year.

I was banded on June 9th in Prague.

So far so good although I have constant growling in my chest area and Ive heard about gasx but they dont seem to sell it in uk so anything that would help get rid of this would be greatly appreciated as it keeps me awake its so loud!!

i would love to meet anyone who is nearby.

I look forward to reading about your experiences

oh, I started dieting on 26th May and I started off at 16 stone 11 and on the day of my banding I weighed 16 stone 1 and today I am 15 stone 6.

Does anyone know any fill dr's near to me or where I could look?

Thanks alot

Tracie :frown:

Hi, I'm originally from dundee but I've lived in oman for 30 years and I'm wondering if it's ok that I hang out with all of you. I spend two months of the year in the uk, either in Neath of Perth, every year.

I was banded here in Oman last Monday and I'd doing great, I'm starving and wondering what I can have this week.

thank you

      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!!
