Hiya, it can be tricky finding this thread again, I keep losing it was trying to get on yesterday to see what things I needed to take to brussels but I'm here now lol! Get my op tomorrow.....very nervous!! Has anyone stayed at this campanile hotel and know if there is an ATM close by? I was in a rush this morning cos of the snow, freaking out incase I never made it in time and I've left my spare euros at home!! I literally have zilch pennies unless I get to an ATM. Also did anyone get the package with Frederick? Do they include your taxi back to the airport? I am freaking out now haha xx

Thanks slinky it's cos I read somewhere they pay for 4 taxi trips so I was panicking they wouldn't take you to the airport lol. I'm at hospital now in my lovely gown lol I noticed a few English people but I've been put in a room with no one that's English going to be a long day!! The snow is really coming down here! Thought I was lucky to get away from it. Hope everyone is ok x

Well I'm all done, had my op yesterday and it went well, I'm feeling pretty good myself. Little tender on my left side but nothing major. I finally got a hold o Frederick and he confirmed the taxi to airport is paid for already so I can go back to the hotel and not worry lol silly me forgetting my euros!!

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend x

Thanks honeybelle, yes I'm really glad. Don't you worry though you will be fine, there was an Irish lady leaving when I did and she was fine. I travelled myself too, I've not felt sick at all since the op just a bit tender but it's manageable. I've kept everything down like Water and cup a Soups. Only thing is when you get an X-ray they give you this disgusting drink you need to swallow and it is like a laxative so not so good lol but i only had that til Saturday night. I'm supposed to be going home tonight but airport is closed hopefully they can clear the runway for tonight and there's just a delay cos im really missing my baba now xx

going to try not think of that and just focus on the benefits

honeybelle you have picked a good time to get your band everyone will just think your on a diet like everyone else lol,ps charlene i like your tast in tickers xx

[wannabe slinky 4]

Hi everyone,

Sorry i havent been on for so long...between my computer crashing and not being able to find the site again but spent the last few hours reading through the posts.

Freckles, sorry to hear about your mum, I hope everything works out okay. How is your daughter getting on, I know she was banded the week before me.

Slinky, well done with the weightloss, I see the ticker moving..

Claire - a real inspiration to us all and I know you'll have no problem with the next 50

To everyone else that has just been banded or going to be banded, good luck with the journey - no regrets.

I am getting on well so far. Banded a month ago and have 16lbs off (going to try to sort a ticker out) but I have to say that most of that was in the first two weeks. Daisy and I were booked in for a fill in Dublin on thursday past as they werent doing Belfast in December. We took the day off work, travelled the whole way down, to arrive at our location (wet and cold from all the snow - Dublin was chaos) to find out Freddy had cancelled the clinic due to bad weather and hadnt let us know - not impressed. Sent him an e-mail and waiting on a reply though to be fair, they are usually very much on the ball. The only thing is now not getting our first fill to January and really wanted a push start. Slinky - do you go to Belfast for your fills??

Still very much on a learning curve regarding the band - somethings so down easily enough, others (chicken etc) often get stuck. Though what goes down some days struggles the next.

I hope everyone is well.

Best wishes,

RC

hi rosie cheeks how r u and daisy doing hope you are ok xx

Hi, I finally got home woohooo what a nightmare but I am here and that's all that matters Still feeling pretty good and can move about more too, was nervous going on a flight incase I felt sick but thankfully never needed the anti sickness tabs they give you and i'm also surprised I got through securtiy with they syringes No one really knows that I was away except my mum, not even my best friends but ive never really found the right time to tell them.....maybe after xmas lol for some reason I feel nervous about it but I know I shouldnt cos i'm not embarassed or anything, I just know they will go rather mental at me spending that amount of money although it's something it's making me happier and they wont understand really as they are skinny malinkies lol my daughter knows though and she is only 9 and is very supportive, even said she will keep it a wee secret if I dont want to tell anyone bless her cotton socks! I am going to get my first fill booked for January in Edinburgh....never got a chance to meet Frederick cos of the weather in Brussels so hopefully I meet him in person at some point.

I need to change that ticker, I made it ages ago and took me long enough to get back on here lol.

Back at college today for like 1 class until 10th January, could really be doing with staying in my jim jams but I have an assessment I need to get out the way. Just hope the roads are a bit better today. xx
