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

I'm off to see Michael in a couple of hours for the verdict, he will be able to tell if i have a leak, with how much he takes out, I am looking on the bright side and hoping I still have at least 2 mls in.

I was reading on the American thread about people who have had their tubing pierced by fills, you wouldnt believe it. Very scarey, so be VERY selective whom you choose to do your adjustments girls.

Will be back later to give you the result.

Good luck freckles hope all is ok

You're very welcome HC, the people in this thread are the salt of the earth. We have all been in the same boat and we know how you feel.

We have girlies going to be banded this weekend here, so you may want to keep reading to watch for their return.

You'll be glad you did.

I have joined loads of different weight loss forums, but have never found such a great thread as this one.

I love each and every one of the people on here.

Thank you for your good wishes HC xx

Hi Freckles..........I hope all goes well today. I'm going out to buy some Kelp tablets later.

It does seem really friendly on this forum and its a bit addictive too!!!

Hi Everyone,

Well the time is flying by, 2 weeks Tuesday................ Some days I am so excited and other days I am full of doubts (whether I'll be OK), silly I know, after all you have all been through it. I just want it to be sucessful.

Can anyone tell me what part of London do you go for your fills? I am trying to get myself organised in my head before I go to Belgium so that I know what question to ask - I think I will write the all down otherwise I will forget!

Hi Westie. Dr Chris/Frederik do there fills on Harley Street (not sure the number - just at the back of Oxford St so I pop in to do a bit of shopping too!). I've been to WLS group today at 10 Harley Street. They are great and I've signed up for a 6 months aftercare package where you can have unlimited fills (£349.50). They are in London every other weekend Sat and Sun so I've been able to get a fill every 2 weeks which is fab! Gillian, Bigsis and a few others use WLS too. Your time will soon be here and u are making the best choice!!

Hi All just wondering if anyone is being banded on the 29th May? im really excited but very very nervous to, my mum keeps saying to me "well wot if something goes wrong" its making me worse but listening to you lot it makes me feel a lot better. Glad your all doing so well anyway and hope everything has gone ok today Freckles xx

Hi Tanyac

I'm being banded on 26th, shame its not the same day as you!! I've been looking for someone being done the same day as me too. Your Mum is bound to be worried, I would be if it was my daughter, tell her that you are doing this for yourself and you've looked into it and made the choice.

By reading the posts on this site EVERYONE has said that they don't regret doing it! There is so much information and help from people that are going through each stage of it all that there is someone to ask if you have a question. I've always asked and someone has always been able to answer even the silliest questions. They are a great group of people. Hope this helps..... Westie x:smile:

Hi All .........Thanks for the warm welcome.

Gary can you give me details of where to find the 'all in package'. I've had a look but cant seem to see it anywhere.:eek: .......I rang yesterday and might be able to get the surgery for the end of July. Dont really want to wait that long but I work for education and we're not allowed time off outside of school hols.

I was interested to read about the Kelp tablets for hair loss, wonder if i would be worth taking them before the surgery!!!

Jackie xx

jackie, Im also in education, so going at start of summer hols (3rd july) to get banded so im back at beginning of tems and no one is any the wiser, I have booked all inclusive package, if you privately give me your details I will send you what frederik sent me which is all your options, prices, and all you need to know. Im happy to do this for anyone else too.

Good Luck everyone who's about to be banded - I can't wait for it!

Michael took out 2.9mls, so there's no leak. I am sooooo relieved.

He said ok, I will put in 5 now, and then you have to drink a cup of water while you're here.

As per usual I had a bit of trouble getting it down, and he got onto it straight away as much as I tried for him not to see, cos on my first fill I was the same, then the next day no restriction...and I told him that. He didnt care.

And he insisted he take some out:unsure: He said he had a bad feeling about it, and didnt want me to be overfilled over the weekend.

I now have 4.5 mils in, my band which holds between 9 & 11 mils.

At least I'm on my way woo hoo :glare:

Ah freckles thats great everything was ok and u got a good fill lets hope it brings some restriction to you....
