Hi

Thanks

This time next week ill be thinking wot the hell was i worried about i know i will, now im just thinking wot if my my bloods have something wrong with them (lol thanks for that garry!!) my god i never realised i was such a worrier hehehe.

Morning all, welcome back gary, glad you had a fab time after drinking ibiza dry i bet lol. I have been away for a couple of days and there is pages and pages to read. Good luck to every one who is going to get there bands this week.. we will all be thinking of you and wishing you well x

hello people i am new to this so can anyone help

I have heard that Dr CDB will only give you small fills an not what you really want I am due to have my band early Feb any replies will be really welcome

Welcome harlequin, your 1st fill is usually a good one then he gives you less and the reason for this is so you dont get an over fill.. i think we all want to run before we can walk, and we expect to have all our weight gone in a matter of weeks..it is done for safety reasons for ourselves, you can go to wls where you can have fills every 2 weeks instead of 4 weeks with dr chris.. i think with them your fills are still small amounts its just that they are more often x

good morning all , i need a little bit of advice, think i may have overdone it at the weekend as I have a tension feeling around my band, its not really painful by any means but just a dull ache, i was sick over the weekend( sorry for the graphic description) the ache gets worse when i have eaten a meal and as i dont have restriciton yet, this can be a normal size meal. I personally think i have a swollen stomach from vommitting and no doubt the booze, i think i may eat fluid for a day or two and see if it settles. I have felt it since kind of of sat night, althought its not got any worse, its not got any better.

Anyone got any thoughts

Thanks in advance

welcome harlequin

I agree with wishfull, i thought the same as you however my first and seconf fill i felt no difference however on my third the filler actually contemplated removing some as he thought he put in too much however a day later it had settled and i need another one, therfore if he had put in more than he initially i would have definately needed a defil, so dont get impatient, i was banded in feb 13 2009 and if you hbad said to me then i would still not have restriciton by june i would have went crazy but due to being abroad at fill times i have missed two months but i am fine about it, it is a marathion not a sprint (what a terrbile cliche).

Take it easy you will get there.

gary dont worry, its like what flirty had..its cos of the vomiting (maybe the booze didnt help ether!?) it affects your band, the stomach will be swollen underneath it so just have cold drinks and ice lollies to help,and go back to liquids for a day,and maybe an anti infammatory like neurofen may help?..youll be fine soon. let us know x

gillian, thanks for that, thats what it feels like its as if my stomach is pushing upwards to my band, so think i will take ur advise. I dont feel unwell or anything, sure it will do no harm with the weightloss anyway.

Hi Gillian just wondered if you could give me wendy's number for WLS!!!! (think its wendy)!

its the free phone number on the WLS site..if you cant get through leave a message and they get back, also leave an email..the woman who organises the fills appointments is colleen. wendy wont fill you though until you are 6 weeks post op..cos it takes 4 to 6 weeks for op swelling to settle (even tho you cant feel it cos not many nerve endings in stomach or summat)
