Hi Guys, not been on for a while but I keeping a check on how everyone's doing, and I'm most impressed.

My undate is'nt very good and progress is none, its all because of the night acid reflux I've been having. Even on double the recommended dose of medication it did'nt go away or reduce at all, and the only thing to have helped is to have a large defill, which has left me with no restriction or help at all, but I have been able to sleep without having the constant cough and bringing up of acid throughout the night.

Its not all doom and gloom because even if I never achieve the full weight loss potential that the band can give, I have lost enough for me to be reasonably happy, I'm fitting into sized 12 - 16 clothes comfortably, and feel good even if a bit lumpy its ok for my age, and I'm not overly put out.

Good luck to all of you that are still losing and I will continue to look in most days. xxmmm

Hi everyone,

just got back from Belgium yesterday (op was on Tuesday 17th) and could not wait to get on here and thank everyone for their support pre-op. I am obviously in a little pain which is much less than I was expecting at this stage. I feel on a real high that the op is behind me and the new slimmer me in front of me. Just wanted to say thanks again to you all, just hearing your experiences will continue to guide me in the future on this journey. I will continue to come on here, that reminds me that I must get a ticker. best wishes MiaBlue

Thanks Carriejess for the reply and Im looking forward to the weightloss, by the way your looking great in new piccy.

To all others thinking about fills and who have asked me about WLS. They are a company called weight loss surgery who have an aftercare package ie. fills and dietry requirements and are usually in your area once a month. Wendy is the nurse who does the fills and she has worked for numerous surgeons before starting on her own a few years ago. She has a wealth of experience and is a fab person. The fill packages are on special in December and January ie. 6months £275 1year £549. There are quite a few of us on here who have our fills done by WLS and have found them terrific. Gee I sound like an advertisement but a few people have pmd me so easier to write once. Hope this helps Jx:smile2:

Hi Homecare wonder if you could advise me on how to get one of these special offers? Looked on WLS Group aftercare page and cant see it offered? How is your sis and her OH doing?

Give them my love x:thumbup:

Hello to everyone old & new, especially those who have recently been banded well done to you. The journeys a long and hard one, but well rewarding..

I feel Great that finally my weight loss has really started moving, restriction is a wonderfull thing. Takes a bit of getting use too after years of scoffing what I like.

the only thing I hate about it is the Acid reflux I get some nights. I have a bin at the side of the bed just incase I need to spit out (sorry lol) but its getting much better now usually I can get a good nights rest.

It's really Good&weird at the sametime everyday I look in the mirror Im beginning to see the old me or should I say the new me. People at work have really noticed the weight loss, on average I get 2 people everyday say "Wow whats happened to you"

"Whats the secret" "Are you on the atkins" Etc I find it really strange lol but secretly loving it I feel my confidence growing stronger everyday....

Wish I had done the Op ages ago, Ive still got a way to go yet but it feels great being able to fit in some of my old clothes im glad I kept them lol..

18stone 6lbs Today it feels GRRRRRRREAT finally being in the teens

Thankyou Band.

Keep up the fight guys it can take a while to get restriction it took me 3 months (Thankgod for the Wls Group aftercare Package) But when you finally get it then things start moving :thumbup:

Hi Oliver dog just do as said previously and say hi to Wendy from me in Glasgow. It is fairly easy and Coleen will help you out with your dates. Sis is doing ok, she was a bit dissappointed at first and thought her weight wasnt going down but it has started now and shes lost around a stone, Her other half is doing really well and I think hes lost 1/2stone. How are you doing. Any probs pm me. Jx

Awesome isnt it, and your already half way there!

Hi thanks :thumbup:

Yes that what we were hoping to do. I did suggest this to Fred in my email but although he answered me, he didnt answer that particular question. I will mail him again though.

Hiya

Just to let you know that I paid in full a couple of weeks before my op by bank transfer. Fred was happy to do this and supplied all the details I needed. Just let him know exactly what you want to do as long as they receive a deposit and the full amount before the op they are happy. Good luck.
