I know this is Dr Chris's thread, but I just wanted to show you my surgeon...Michael Van den Bossche.

If you watch this lady's video, quite early on in the clip, you see her going to the Spire, Southampton, and then she talks with Michael.

Aint he sexy:blushing::thumbup:

BBC - Inside Out - South - Obesity

On the second clip you'll see the dietitian, Rhoda, she was the one who said I had lost height!!!!

And Michael again.

Hi gary, the decision about going to belgium for ultra sound is up to you but if it was me i think i'd leave it for a while and see how things go, or at least till you have your next fill, by the time your fill comes round it may of gone down in size again. You could end up paying the extra money out when you dont really have to. Let us know what you decide x

yip your right however my reason was that he struggled to find port becuase of the hematoma and suggested an ultrasound, i cant get an app for april in edinburgh and can in may but i am at a stag weekend and then it will be june which is too far away so i want another fill asap. I have pretty much decide to just try frederik at Manchester next week and if he gets it great if not i will just need to wait.

Iam so impatient, typical man.

Gary have you contacted Chris Duprez, he does additional clinics, (not only for cdb clients) he might be in your area on a different date, and might be able to see you. You dont go through the usual booking system but need to contact him directly, he charged £80 to do the fill in Newport, and there were clients there from different Belgium hospitals and surgeons. I have his contact details if you need them. As you know he is part of the management team and will have your notes with him

Poor Garry I hope you find somewhere for a fill soon

I cant get into Southampton until 30th April so may as well wait until 7th May in Manchester.

My port still feels very tender though, so maybe I should wait.:)

I only know of the manchester Xray and i wouldnt use them out of principal, is there anywhere else, does anyone know?

I may feel more like going in April, next week.

Hi tamisu i had this feeling after my 1st fill but i didnt feel any difference after my 2nd, im sure yours will start to loosen up.. wish mine was like that now. I go for my 3rd fill next week so i hope i will get some restriction from that. How much have you got in your band now? x

Hi wishfull, thanks for the reply. I have 5 (ml, cc, whatever). My third fill isn't until April 30th, but if this doesn't get better, I'm not gonna have anymore put in. You've also been getting your fills from Frederik, right? -T

Hi gary i can see why you want a fill and not have to wait, if you go to manchester next week i may see you.. BUT if i was you id just turn up at the edinburgh clinic, im sure yiu would get a fill done, i done that in manchester, turned up without a app and i got one no problem, i would do it again if i had to.

Hi perky i took a slim fast with me and a couple of cup a Soups for the day after the surgery, i only managed less than half of 1 cup a Soup, i got some apple juice when i was there but thought it was awful so i just drank water.. make sure you get as much rest as poss. Goodluck and i look forward to reading your posts when your feeling up to it x

Heck - I managed a litre of pear juice and 1 or 2 (can't remember!) cup a soups the next day. :) I ordered soup from the restaurant but gave in as it had too many lumps in! Could have murdered my hubby's roast chicken and chips!! :thumbup: Actually it was the day after that I fancied nicking a chip but I didn't. He actually commented on him having the ability to eat all his meal without me having a taste was the best bit of me having the op! Cheeky b!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
