Well I travel to brussels by train at 1600 tomorrow. Not too nervous now after reading all your posts.

Making a point of travelling very light and as I'm there and back from bristol on my own, cheapest way for me though as I get free train travel and eurostar is only twenty quid each way anytime :-). Hope its not just me there what's is the hospital like, how long does the op take and is there any way of getting done first. Don't want to be sat bricking it for hours. Speak to you all soon as a bandster!!!!!

The Hospital is spotless and the staff are wonderfull all speak English and are very attentive and caring. the operation takes about 30 minutes but you are away for about 4 hours as they keep you in recovery. You don't get to choose what time the op is HIgher the risk the earlier the op I was next to last so 4pm but you won't know till the day and you are kept busy with one thing or another. You will be fine don't forget wear really loose waist banded clothes as sitting on the trains will be uncomfortable. You won't be let out of the Hospital till around 2pm the next day as you have an X Ray befor you leave and you won't feel like doing anything when you get back to the hotel as you will probably feel groggy and sleepy. Don't be frightened it will all be over in a couple of days and you will be on your way to a new you. Baarbs

Well at least Timeisnow has had the good manners and decency to apologise to you Maggs.

I dont think Maggs intended you to worry yourself stupid over the Zantac love, she was just giving her opinion.

Maybe we can forget the post and move on.

Debbie, how cruel is your gp, that was mean does she think the band is magic??

If that's the same Chris that was in surgery at the hospital, I have to agree....he is yummy. I invited him and the rest of the team to come to the US to the beach with me while I was going under anesthesia. He's welcome anytime.

Jojo, I agree with the other posters, I for one have no will power this being the main reason I got the band and I dont regret it for one second.

Its like someone putting their hand over your mouth to stop you eating, because if you do eat more than you should you will have pain and probably vomit sometimes, the discomfort you feel really stops you from eating too much.

Some people on here say that they have used their will power to help the band, but i never have. my fill in July was a bit too much, and over 3 months i lost 3 stone.

I had acid reflux if I ate or even drank anything before bedtime, and I'm talking 2 hours before I tried to sleep. I slept sitting up most nights and apparently according to my family became very miserable.

However I dont care cos its 3 stone I could do without.

So dont let anyone or thing put you off, you will cope with the band and it helped me no end, in fact I have had 2 bands implanted cos my first one developed a hole .

Time is now, I cant believe you posted that trash about Mmm, she is a lovely person, I have met her in real life and I am very offended for her, for the way you attacked her.

As she says she is only giving people the benefit of her experience, cos none of us are the same.

i think she really deserves an apology from you, because you have been very unfair to her, Maggs is a good person and wouldnt hurt anyone intentionally.

for your info i have apologisd for my tone and it was the truth not trash for your info!

i do not apologise for the worry she put me through!!

also i think you should think about what u say on this place too as all we get is you speaking about all your functions ie burping,farting,spewing,etc,etc to name a few!!

do u really think people who have been banded want to here that...or it helps them reading an old womens problems??

not nice either!:confused:

i would tend to agree mmm it was a little harsh, everyone has there own opinion and experiences so no one is 100% accurate as we all see things differently so we can only share our own thots.

Garry is that it then nothing for me.. i agree i was over the top but mmm deserved that from me and i have apologised for being over the top!

she had me worried until i had the op done with her stupid remarks....ask her to prove them?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha,listen to yourself, what age are you man, if were all big women then why you bothering so much. I dont doubt you may have been worried and I have sympathy for that but i really dont get your problem this week, your attitude stinks and be honest watch your tounge as you aint doing yourself any favours. I thought you were out of order in your tone to MMM and thats all i have said, nothing more so stop blowing it out of proportion, this forum should be a support not a slagging match. If your going to contiue with this farse then please exclude me from any conversations as frankly I have better things to be spending my time on.

Ok, I know I'm new, not even banded yet but I thought this forum was the one thing I could get involved in where your size wasn't something for people to hurl abuse at you for. No doubt we've all had enough of that from ignorant people that don't know any better, and we all know how it feels!

Timeisnow, "big sneaky women"? Really? I think you may have just crossed a line there, and although I am a newbie and you may think it's got nothing to do with me, I have to say I've seen no evidence of people on here being anything but supportive. I'm sure MMM had best intentions at heart, even if her advice may have inadvertently scared you, and EVEN if her advice was wrong.

And for the record, I was very grateful for the advice given by Freckles, in all it's gory detail!! Better to know what to expect. This is a forum related to surgery, which includes conversations about post-op problems / side-effects. Ta Freckles :confused:

Everyone else, thank you so much for being so friendly and making me feel welcome.

I would confirm with someone with medical knowledge about zantac, because a friend of mine had to stop useing it for 3 months before they were allowed the op. Take care.

THIS IS THE OFFENDING POST hardly the stuff to cause a grudge that last since the 17th June 2009.

      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. 💜
