Hi Terry.This is Jeromes address jerome@manuceau.net

What makes you think your band has slipped. From what I know from other cases you would be very sick, and not able to keep anything down. It sounds like you are still wide open, you may have a leak. That's what happened to me. I was going to Dublin for fills every month, and nothing was happening then I went to Jerome to have a look, and he told me I had no Fluid in there, it was a big shock. I'm so glad he is the one going to fix it. Ill be heading of Monday week cant wait. If you need any more information pm me.

Magner how are you doing haven't heard from you in a while were you back up this month for a fill. I tried to pm you but it wont allow me in let us know how you are doing your not alone.

Love Roe

Hi angie. I've travelled a bit since the band and never set off an alarm. I thought I was setting off shop alarms for months but I discovered there was a security device under a sticker on a tube of make up :tongue2: Once I got rid of that there were no more incidents.

I got a booklet with a card in it from Dr. Chris after the surgery.

How did you all get on with your fills? Hope there is some good restriction out there!:mellow:

Hi- just joined today- had my surgery done in march 07 with acs and the infamous jerome- i rang a solicitor re the situation with acs and they would not take my case as they say there is nothing they can do as the company is gone into liquidation and there are no common directors with the hospital group to chase????

i rang acs last week re a fill and they told me that i would have to go to belfast and pay for the pleasure-they say they have a long list of clients who need a fill so i am on a waiting list and the uk office will ring me when they can give me an appointment- this is such a joke-

imagine paying 10k for an operation and then receiving no aftercare- by the way when i spoke to the solicitor he gave me the name Dr Justin Geoghegan who specialises in banding in loughlinstown and if u can get a letter of referral from ur gp he will put u on his list and treat u-his list is very long- did u hear anything about debbie having a new practice on pearse street in dublin?

let me know if there is anything i can do - re meetings, lobbying etc- i didn't know anything about meetings etc- and there must be plenty of other ex patients like me out there-

has anyone contacted that guy in the daily mail who did the article on acs?

talk soon

M

      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?
