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

message from wishfull! her lap top wont charge so she cant get online!..anyway she contacted me yesterday to ask me to tell you she had had 1.5mls put in her band.and she said that there shoulda been 5ml in it already but she didnt think there was, as she saw him wipe some of the saline away that didnt go in..anyway fred pulled only 4ml back out of it..so thats all she had..hopefully shes up to 5.5ml now...that should give her some restriction hopefully as i have 5.25ml in and i dont think i want anymore putting in next tues..think ill leave it a month to get used to it! happy easter everyone!..dont go mad with those easter eggs!..David bought me big lindor one before he went away...grr!, whats he doing to me!?..anyway i shall just pace myself with it instead of my usual stuffing it in one day!..suppose its up to me to eat the kids aswell (their eggs, not the actual kids,not that hungry, and couldnt manage a whole one!).they eat the sweets from inside then move onto the next one leaving all the empty shells for me to dispose of! x

Yeah, but you only got up at 10.45!

this is true!..as i had my head stuck in a very good book!..(milly johnson, have read all 3 within 2 months,typical chicklit!..i choose a book by the pretty pink pictures and colours on the front! so shallow i am!) i took my drinks up with me..wouldnt have slept anyway was awake from 8 with police helicoptor circling my house...it wasnt me, i didnt do it!..whatever it was, it was up for ages hovering. x

@ Bigsis, nice one.

Poor Gillian.

And poor Wishfull, is it the plug connection I wonder....ours did that a while ago and we had to take it in for repair, it turned out to be the powerpack plug was damaged, so we had to fork out £45 for a new powerpack.

How does she feel Gillian do you know?

My restriction isnt so good as yesterday now, I hope to God my tubings ok.

Got to go now, gonna talk to daughter in Oz on msn.

later kids xxxx

Hi fellow bandsters, im back and can report im a fully fledged bandstaar wohoo.....

everything went very well indeed exactly has most of you guys of said already, there was really no need to worry..To all you guys going out there real soon for your ops you will find a truelly proffesional service...

Dr Chris is great and very reassuring also fredrich is a nice guy also, he joined me for a drink the night before op lol..

The campanile hotel is very basic but is really comfortable I found the food was quite nice also, for my last meal I had cheeseburger and chips (has someone mentioned on here) and it was really nice...The mrs had chicken breast with chips and some sauce she enjoyed that aswell...we went to the lidl up the road for some water and juice which aint to far...

I found that the hospital was really clean they were forever cleaning above doors under doors mopping wiping etc.... the nhs could learn loads from them lol...

Has for me im bearing up pretty well infact more better than i thought i would after the op in recovery I didnt feel much pain at all yea there was a bit of discomfort but nothing major no sore throat etc.. the next day I was feeling really sore like my stomach was not mine fredrich said this was the port area so would be like that for a while but has each day passes will get better and I must admit it has...im just taking things slowly im 3 days post op and I aint had any pain killers today only some remegel and that injection this morning been drinking lots of water or so it feels like sip sip its taken ages to finish a small bottle lol I do feel it going down but I was told this is normal..

Just want to thank you guys for your support thus far im sure im gonna need more shortly has time goes on.
