Hi everyone. Just to say I've lost 45 lbs so far and love my band. Have 5.5ml in and don't think I need any more.

Good luck to every one.

Fantastic, well done and congrats on the 100+ weight loss. Are you planning to lose anymore?

Agree with the PMA as you need to be very focused and meet the challenge and not give in or up.

Well done

Hello everyone, just found a few spare minutes before I go to see my Mum.

Hope you're all enjoying mothers day lol.

Well even on the short flight to Benidorm my band tightened up like mad, couldnt hardly eat or drink for 4 days, weird!!!

maybe its the stress of travelling because these days with all the security checks it does get stressful, but so glad they are rigid with the checks.

I came home on thursday teatime , unpacked, got all the washing sorted etc, and suddenly realised I would never have been able to do all of that when I had loads of weight on me!!!! Where has the energy come from, cos I still cant hardly eat anything.

I know I should get a bit out but am going to persevere until I have lost the last stone, and then will try to lead a normal life, without piling the weight on again.

I think I'll aim for having 2mls out and see how I go, maybe about August.

JoJo I have had a quick read back and am wondering why you are going for more surgery????

For the lady who's band has eroded, that happened to me and I had to get another op to remove and replace.

Amazed my poor little daughter has only lost a stone, and she struggles to eat anything. But she wasnt much overweight and ate healthily always, so I think thats why.

She still fits into a size 12, so she's not gross, but she thinks she is !!.

You have done really well, soon be at your target!!!

Will pop in again asap. xxx

Hi All,

It been some time since I posted, well so far I have lost about 3 stone since I was banded in Nov. I had some problems after my second fill with a chest infection that seemed to make it really difficult to eat when I had my second set of antibiotics I was in real pain when I ate and it was really difficult to keep anything down. Well to cut a long story short I realized that it was my sertaline that was irritating my stoma and it was the irritation caused by the tablets that was preventing me from keeping anything down (the combination with the antibiotics caused serious pain which finally made me realize what the problem was). Well the doctor changed my prescription and I got it in liquid form and now that I have been able to eat for a few weeks I am ready for my next fill. When I was trying to work out the problem I found out on another part of the forum is can be a pretty common problem with the sertaline tablets so I just thought I'd put it out there in case it might help someone.

Slinky the fill in Dublin cost 110 Euro but I am sure Rosie paid in sterling when we went down in Jan.

Hi everyone,

Seems ages since I have been on but still keeping an eye on how everyone is getting on. Like Daisy I was banded on 2nd Nov and I have lost over 3st - approx 47lbs so pleased with how things are going - really starting to notice it in my clothes and people starting to notice also - nice - but long way to go.

Slinky - As far as I remember, dublin fills are 120e but the last time I paid sterling - he calculated out the exchange rate and it was £100 - he didnt mind at all. If possible, nearly as well take take the euro out of the ATM.

thankfully I have had no problems as such - weight loss was slow at the start due to the length of time we had to wait for our first fill but has been small but steady since. On a steep learning curve but couldnt imagine myself without it.

Good luck to all,

RC xx

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
