Hi there, I am new to this forum. I have my first consultation with the surgeon next Friday March 30th:) . I am so excited but also nervous.

I have been reading through a few posts and it is so good to see that the majority of the feedback is positive.

I will be having my surgery done in Dublin and I was wondering if any of you have any advice as to questions I should be asking the surgeon next week.

Thanks so much. Brenners x

:eek:That Was A Fill.

Hi everyone I also got an appointment for a fill for next Friday. The girl said she had me on a list of people she's contacting offering fills so if you haven't heard yet I'm sure she'll get to you. She said Chris De Bruyne is the surgeon and he'll probably be here once a month but there will be 2 bariatric nurses here every week doing fills. Have to say I'm relieved now. I'm gonna just get 1/4 or even 1/2 a 1/4 whatever that is:confused: don't want to get overfilled again:eek: I definitely need a tiny fill can eat anything at the minute and with my hols coming up in June I really want to shift the rest of this weight:mad2: Anyone else in Fitzwilliam on Friday???

Hi Roe,

My appointment is for the afternoon on Thursday, I've asked Leanne if a cancellation (ha) comes for the morning to give me a shout as am would suit me better. If this happens I'll give you a pm to arrange to meet up.

Glad we are getting appointments and good news that its Dr C De Bruyne thats the surgeon he has a good reputation.

Heres to a hassle free continuation to our collective weight loss.

Hi Niki Shazer here, I am really new to all this I was banded in dublin on The 24th July 2007, I have 3 and a half stone off but I think its going very slow. I would love to know have most people changed their eating habits R are they still eating the same only smaller amounts.I would greatly appreciate any tips.

Any one getting a morning on the 18th, if so would love to meet Roe.

Shazer here getting a fill Thursday feel a need a bucket load of it at the minute. How many fills have you had

I will be in there around 12.00 on Thursday. Anyone else at that time?

Hi Girls,

Great to hear so many of you can have a fill next week. Just a word of warning, is there anyone available to do a de fill if necessary, a fill can take a couple of days to kick in, if you've been overfilled you need to be seen within 24hrs to ease the discomfort and avoid dehydration.

As for a meet up, if anyone is interested in meeting before the fill appointment I would love to have a catch up.

You're doing better than me anyway! I was banded end of April 07 and haven't even reached the 3 stone mark yet!!

I was told there would be someone available for a defill!!!! But not sure whether I trust that or not!! The girl I spoke to didn't seem to have much info at all. She just kept saying all she knew was that there would be 2 nurses there on Thursday and Friday and had no more info! So we shoud all be conservative about the amount of fill we get I think!

Dead right Coco and Holly you don't want to end up like me a few weeks ago:eek: The guy who de-filled me is on call all the time maybe thats who they're talking about:scared2: I swore I wasn't getting another fill after last time but I'm gonna get a small tweak........if not will be the size of an elephant:crying: Looks like I'm the only one in on Friday

Well I am very flippin pissed off . They havent contacted me and im on the list. Its a bit late now for me to get a fill this close to the wedding. I hope them at ACS are reading this coz I cant be arsed ringing them again. They can ring me. Im going to book one for after the wedding. Thats if they have any appointments. Their customer service leaves alot to be desired. :cursing::confused::cursing:

Hi Alesha when I rang and gave my name she said oh yeah your on my list haven't got down to you yet so I said what list and she said she'd a list of everyone she had to contact....sounded like it was a very long list:rolleyes: When is the wedding?? You want to be able to eat at it so I wouldn't get a fill too near it if I were you:ohmy: plus you want to be able to enjoy your honeymoon. If it was me I'd leave it till afterwards and enjoy myself:shades_smile:
