It was an extremely hair raising experience!! I think it'd put me off my food! Maybe I should move over there and go flying everyday!! :w00t:

Geez Sammy thats scarey!!!! I bet your hubby was on the edge of his seat!!!

Bless little Harrison, why is he scratching, what does GP say chick?

I smoked after my first band was implanted hun, it was a life-saver, cos when I couldnt sit down to a meal I used to smoke instead.

I stayed away from fizzy drinks though, cos they made my chest feel uncomfortable, not worth it.

especially the girl who got banded! She said she wouldn't do it again! does everyone feel like that or was it just her!

Which girl was that, the one with the specs who was home after 5 hours ?

She should have been in bed she would have been far more comfortable. I couldnt believe that she was on the couch!!!

She really seemed fed up before and after.

She should have been over the moon.

You see how the surgeon can tell if you havent done the pre-op diet???

Its so important, yet the first time I got my date so fast I didnt have time to do it.

I would have this op again if i had to, thats how much confidence I have in it chick, and I've had it done twice.

Odge, my first band developed a hole so I lost all restriction and put back on the weight I had lost and some.

And yes...I had to pay again, albeit I got a reduction its still, all in all cost me almost £10000.

I didnt have my bands done in Belgium by Dr Chris, although that was my intention when I first joined this site.

My other surgeon came up with a reduction for me which made it cheaper to go with the Spire, otherwise I would have been in Belgium like a shot.

My story is on here somewhere, I'll search and give you the link if you'd like to read it chick?

Thanks chick!

Bet you were really dissapointed the first time round! What do people mean by restriction? I'm probably being thick!

I'm really looking forward to my band but 2 weeks and 6 days seems like miles away!

Do you have any tips for the pre op diet as i hate slim fast!!!!

Hi everyone

Have just joined and was wondering if someone could give me Dr. de Bruyne's website address.

Have just recently had my second child (6 weeks ago) and now really need to get a fill again. As I have been out of the scene for almost a year now, can anyone advise if any new fill providers have popped up? Back in the day I could see either Dr. de Bruyne or Dr. Foquet at the consulting rooms in London. Dr. Dovey used to do a Saturday clinic on behalf of Dr. Dilleman's I believe, but I think that clinic has now ceased.

I live in Northamptonshrie (Corby to be precise) so if anyone knows of any fill providers in this area I would be grateful for the info.

I too watched The Hospital last night (great series.) Whilst I understand that they are currently not able to fund ops willy nilly, they are delaying the inevitable for us fatties. As Dr. Super stated, the op costs the equivalent of just one years treatment for diabetes so it really would make financial sense for the NHS to operate on more people before the co-morbidities really kick in and the costs for the NHS start mounting.

Bye for now. :)

Hi odge

When you get the band you will have restriction from the swelling of the op meaning you wont be able to eat large amounts.And when the swllelling goes down you will be able to eat pretty much everything that you could before.When you get your band fills done every month it fills the band up giving you more restriction meaning the the quantity you eat gets smaller and smaller until your eating a very small tea plate of food to make you full.

How much does the WLS group charge for fills? If they offer fills in Birmingham that will be a godsend as I could drive there (will have the wee one with me, so am hoping there is now an alternative to London that I can use.)

I dont know if any one does them that far north .I dont know if you would need to come down to edinburgh or glasgow unless you phone any of your local private hospitals to see if any of them do them.

I got a package off them at xmas that was £275 for six months unlimited fills i think it about £350-£375 now.I think for a single fill it is £85 but you would need to get a consultation first which is £120 and includes a fill.

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
