Easyband

GC53 · May 13, 2007

Keep you posted, certainly the adjusments are a piece of cake, I gather subsequent small adjustments can be made by the nurse in her consulting room. I feel the extra control & ease of adjustment plus the completely circular shape will eventually make the easyband the band of choice.

Wondered how you were doing Babyboomer. I had my first fill too on Tuesday 8th - Dr Ashton was fantastic. I seem to have good restriction so far - back on liquids for three days, been on soft foods yesterday and today. Last night after only a very small plate of food I was very uncomfortable.

Not really counting calories or anything at this stage. Just eating sensibly and healthily and obviously very small amounts. So hopefully will lose after being stuck for three weeks.

I am still in the 'thinking' stage, I met with Dr Ashton in March and do believe this is the way forward, however, it is alot of money to part with, the easyband is attractive to me as my fear in life is needles, has any1 regretted having it done or has it been worth the money? I really would appreciate people's honesty x

Hi,

I had my Easyband fitted through Healthierweight on the 20th of July. So far so good...... no fills or adjustments yet though so we'll see.

Just wanted to say that you should check in again with healthierweight as I know the trial for easyband is nearly at an end - I think I may have been one of the last ones. Might be worth finding out?

Hope it works out for you,

JBR

Sorry i didnt see this post.

I had the easyband on May16th 2009. As per the rest of you TAGB guys had a quick recovery, Flew up from bristol to Manchester on the Friday night, had op on Saturday and then flew back to Bristol a day later. Was working from home on Tuesday and flew back to work in europe on the sunday.

Not had any issues with the band, didnt have any restriction until 16th July 2009 and its still only specific food i get it with.

Am 3lbs short of 4 stone weight loss so far, pretty much based on a lifestyle change and some SELF ASS KICKING when i need it.

I have a simple diet regeme which i stick to and some food buying things that i do, so that i do not cheat/over eat or tempt myself. The most important thing over the diet and band and anything else is EXERCISE.

You just need to do a small amount every day, be that walking, housework, cleaning the car, anything that has you on your feet and active will provide results.

The bottom line with any of the bands is this, eat less calories than you burn each day and you will loose weight 100%.

I keep a diary and blog over at fathappends but if you want to ask anything just PM me or post here i don't mind either way.
