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

Thanks MMM I see you got banded in feb 09!!! Hows it all going? have you lost much weight yet?

Not much weight lost so far but its early days, I've had one fill but it had no effect at all, so i'm looking forward to the next fill which will be on Fri, so I'm hopeing for a better result then, but although I'm a bit dissapointed, its only what I expected. Hope you have quicker results.

Hi freckles, No I'm still here, I'm not going back until Monday, and then its only for a week again.

Where has everyone gone, are they all on the facebook group, I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with going on there It seems such a time waster, loads of people send me messages whenever I go on line there and it looks rude not to answer, so I'd rather say off it, I think,. Hope all is well with you.

Hi all welcome and good luck to all the newbes who have surgery coming up you wont regret getting it done.

I had my weigh in today and fill and im down 9lb this month so well pleased with that .I had a bowl of home made soup blended down tonight to test the restriction and there does not seem to be much there but it is early days.I will be able to tell in a few days if this fill is the one.

there's something on channel 4 tonight about 9pm after gok, about gastric bands, not sure what it is just caught mention of gastric surgery, if anyone interested.

Mmm - I will sky plus it! I'm fascinated with any gastric surgery now!!

Big kiss back to Freckles from Harrison! He's been scratching something rotten this last couple of days so the socks are back on his hands!! Poor thing! It looks even funnier with a t-shirt on!

Flirty lass - well done 6 stone is fantastic! I just need some restriction as I am soooo hungry! I can eat anything and in any quantity! Roll on Sunday!

I'm gonna make you all jealous now - off for a 2 michelin star lunch in a bit! They are usually arty farty portions so I shouldn't put on too much weight :smile:! It's my last supper (again!!) before my fill on Sunday!

What's everyone else up to today? We're trying to get the garden straight - I am gonna attmept to mow the lawn later - it's about 6 inches high (or maybe more!) Still in my pj's though !!

Bobo-baldy - I'm go with WLS from now on in.

Morning all u newbies - u are in the right place for advice/info and a general good laugh :w00t:

Hello Gary - how's the restriction?

Hi everyone else gillian, bigsis, shoes and everyone else!!

I know it's random but look at this - mu husband was flying in this last night in Africa

It was an extremely hair raising experience!! I think it'd put me off my food! Maybe I should move over there and go flying everyday!! :smile:

Hey, did anyone watch the hospital last night!!! didn't seem to have much positivity about it!!!! especially the girl who got banded! She said she wouldn't do it again! does everyone feel like that or was it just her! I'm getting banded in just over 2 weeks so could do with lots of info!!!!!

Especially want to know about fizzy pop and smoking post band!!!!

Anyone help?

Jo x :smile:
