Hi

I have decided to get the procedure done - just have to save up for it. I live in uk and want to go to Brussels as it seems cheapest and safest there. Anyone know of the above?

Thanks

Well garry glad ya got sorted and so glad u got a fill and didnt have to wait any longer for one id defo advise anyone to get a fill soon as they can and not hang about cos it can take a while for restriciton to kick in especially if ur like me lol I always feel like a pin cushion after my fill my port is a nightmare to find makes me wonder are they actually gettin the fill in at all

Ah garry dont mention bevvy to me my heads still bangin lol not at all well lol Yeah i know drink doesnt help but usually it doesnt bother me food wise id near lose weight after drinkin cos once im havin drink i cant stomach food lol maybe i should turn alcoholic il stop eating and shed the lbs lol

Hi gary im glad you have finally got sorted.. you got a descent fill aswell, well done you. after my 1st fill i stayed on liquids for 4 days and i could feel restriction on what i was having eg cup a soups, fingers crossed you will have some restriction x

Hi flirtylass dont get down hearted you have done so well.. you are an inspiration to so many of us, when i talk to my sister or partner about the band i always mention you and how well you are doing and saying i cant wait till im reporting such fantastic results like you. I know it can get you down when you feel hungry and a lot of it is changing the way you think about food..its bloody hard work and it will be till we get to our full restriction. Chin up your the 1 who keeps us going x

Ah thanks wishful i hate to be moaning on im just praying for the next fill to work im just terrified now il start gaining but maybe garry is right and its just false hunger after my wkend and drink but god i wish it would go away...

i know its boring hun but try drinking more water that usually works when its faulse hunger, its worth a try x

Ah thanks wishful i hate to be moaning on im just praying for the next fill to work im just terrified now il start gaining but maybe garry is right and its just false hunger after my wkend and drink but god i wish it would go away...

Hey flirty we are all entitled to have a moan.. we wouldn't be normal other wise. Fingers crossed your next fill will do it for you, BUT dont forget how well you have done so far x

Thats good advice tanya, i think thats why i was feeling hungry.. i hadnt been drinking as much as i usually do. hope your well x

im fine thanks wishful, how are you doing, do you still have good restriction? how long has it been since you were banded it?

Im good thanx, i got my band 9 weeks tomorrow.. its gone so quick, I havnt lost anymore weight since before my 2nd fill.. im stuck on 2 stone lost BUT i have eaten more than what i was, im back on track again so i hope it will start moving again x

Glad all went ok for you Gary, and you've had a start with your fills thats good news.

Flirtylas, we are all here for the bad days as well as to cheer you on for the good days, so voice any concerns you have support is here for you, but I understand what your saying about the more you eat the more you want to eat, when you restarted eating after your fainting spell, did you go to regular times to eat or did you start unscheduled snacking. The idea of resuming more fluids has to be worth a try, keep me posted, thinking of you. xxxmmmxxx

Im good thanx, i got my band 9 weeks tomorrow.. its gone so quick, I havnt lost anymore weight since before my 2nd fill.. im stuck on 2 stone lost BUT i have eaten more than what i was, im back on track again so i hope it will start moving again x

wow 2 stone in 9 weeks thats great, have you still got lots to loose? im glad its working out for you and hope i have the same results as you all on here. When are you having your next fill? does it hurt? xx:eek:

Any one heard any news on fatpants?????

Or have i missed her post lol......?

hi all thanks for the best wishes, well i met cdb today and he managed to remove quite a lot of my blood under skin he must have inserted needle about 30 times but it as not sore so its not all away but down a good bit. He said during that he thought he would not be able to do a fill as there was still old blood and probably could not feel the port. He gave it a bash when i was lying down and struggled, he offered that if i came to belgium he could do it foc and use an ultrasound, he said he would try one more time standing up so he treid and went about 10 cm to the side of where he thought the port was an low and behold he found it, it was quite sore but he said he found it. its not that it had moved just from lying on table it seemed in a different place and i think the hematoma aslo had something to do with it. After all that i felt a bit dizzy and he told me to lie back down, 5 mins later i was fine. he said he put 4 ml in. so all seems ok, feel a bit like a pin cushion though so will have no doubt a little swelling all in all not a bad day.

I am on liquids, should i be feeling any restriction with that, you expierienced bandsters.

Hi gaz when i went for one of my fills i had to stand up to get it and i went all dizzy and quesey and had to lie back down as i thought i was going to faint so your not alone there.Good to hear he got most of the fluid out.I doubt you will get any restriction from your first fill but you never know .What size band have you?

Hi everyone I'm back!

It's been 4 days, I've been to two countries, been in 4 airoplans, seen inside a hospital and a hotel, I only saw Brussels from the inside of a taxi.

On the low fat diet I lost 8lbs4oz, I weighed myself today and I've lost a further 11lbs10oz, 20lbs altogether!

I suffered really badly from the gas in the shoulder, the first 24 hours after surgery I felt as if I had an elephant sitting on my chest, my breathing was very laboured. For the last 2 days I have been wondering what the hell I have done the pain with the gas has been terrible, every time I breath in it's worse, which means I have been taking short breaths which I don't think is good for you. Yesterday I spent 8 hours in airports or on an airplan, I kept thinking that I night faint or have to ask for a wheel chair! I just took it slowly and I made it. I am just so happy to be home again, the last 4 days have been surreal! Today I have woken bright and early, feel great after my weigh in, now I understand my faintness, and no gas in the shoulder....but I'm sure it'll be back, I was told it lasts 3 days.
