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 l will call you tomorrow as ive got the grandkids tonight and they are a handful

Well second fill done today, something feels a bit tighter, but only on liquids/mushies for next few days, but I've had another 2.5ml taking me to 5ml in total, so hopefully something should start to work now. Its official I'm exactly at my pre op weight its so disheartening, but I was warned it would take quite a time for me to get started.

Gary, Chris deprez sends his regards, his first words to me were that you had been to see him and he thanked me for the referral. He said you were doing extremely well. So well done you

Suefee I've send you my mobile no. on a PM ring whenever you want up until Monday I'll do what I can, after Monday I'll be back in France for 1 week, but I'm sure the others will help. Good luck.

Oh good Mmm, let's hope you get a bit of restriction. Hopefully enough to keep you off the french bread and cheese! Actually cheese goes down very well, especially the gooey brie type ones! Have a lovely holiday x

Hello everyone!!..and there are millions of you new prebanders on!!..welcome to the forum anyway! jusy been busy over last 10 or so days, went to windsor with kids to legoland last weekend, it was brilliant..windsor is gorgeous!..lovely shops, and too many lovely cafes, posh food eateries etc...oh and "hotel chocolat"! I opted for no fill at my appointment 2 weeks ago as i had good restriction and lost 5lb in that 2 weeks. but now i seem to have lost some restriction, which is normal, as there is swelling from the fill to start with, so got used to it now!..will have another little one next app,as not lost anything in 2 weeks. been doing our garden all this week as sun has been out. hope everyones ok and doing well?!..and you prebanders...you are in great hands,everything is above board and dr chris, staff and hosp are excellent,you will get everything you need.I was nervous about everything before i went, but would not be again!..I know how excited/nervous youll all be counting the days down..good luck to you all!

Glad to see you girls back, you've been missed.

HELP NEEDED can any of you post banded throw any light on my problem. I have had 2.5ml fill plus another 2.5 last fri taking me to 5ml. But since fri I've had hiccups, I've hardly been able to drink, cos I hiccup when ever I try and I've also tried mushies but have'nt been able to even put anything in my mouth, because again I hiccup, it even woke me up 4 times last night, also I cannot lie down on my right side without it hurting. Any suggestions, or similar experience please let me know.

Cheers Gary its a different type of restriction, I know and one way to loose weight, but I need to get it sorted I'm living off remigel and due to fly at 6.30 am on Monday.

Hi all, Welcome to all the new peeps, and hello to all the regulars, hows life for everyone. I have just spent the last 2 hrs reading all the messages, My Laptop has been very slow last week, so have not realy been on here. It has been so good to read all your messages, still loads of great advice ur all giving. All you new newy peeps, just keep asking all your questions and I am sure all the lovely peeps will help you best they can. I am trying to get myself sorted for my op at the moment, only 13 days to go, have started my pre op diet, not sure I am doing it rite, am cutting as much fat out as post. I am not sure if excited or scared for my op, I will keep you all up to date, any advice re wat I need to take with me, wat I need to eat ect, will be gratefully accepted.

Thanks everyone xxxxxxxxxx hope you all have a great weekend mandy x

Hey mmm i would mail dr chris but it sounds like a slight overfill to me i think u need a little removed

me thinks flirty may be right but it may aslo settle after a week or so and then you wont have restricition, aaaarrrrrggggggghhhhh the band lark is no easy.

Hiccups still here but not as much as yesterday, which felt as if I was doing internal aerobics, its only a couple an hour now, but I can now at least drink, it might be a slight overfill, cos I was pretty keen to get as much as he was willing to give me, but as its easing off a bit I'll take the risk and hopefuly as Gary said it will ease off after 1 week. It might stop me putting on weight as I did last time.

I've taken the precaution and have an unfill needle packed should things get any worse when I'm in France, and as its a French band I'm sure someone will be able to help me. The only thing bothering me is that if this is an overfill, and I fly freckles said that flying increases the restriction, so will I be able to cope with the flight its 1hr 50mins. The other thing bothering me is if its not an overfill and only trapped wind, when I fly the wind/air will expand and what will happen then:crying: will I fart, burp or explode:drool: happy days, I'll let you know when I get back xxxmmmxxx
