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 for that Odge. I've tried it but don't know if it's working. Thanks to you too Vikki, I emailed Allan the link you sent me so hopefully he'll be joining us soon!

Well done shelly you seem to have your ticker working!!!:wink:

Hi all got weighed in today plus a small fill .I was delighted as i lost 8 lb taking me to the magic FIVE STONE LOST MARK on the scales.So liquids for a few days and hopefully that will take me under 18st.Cant work out how they tickers go on so i have just adjusted my signature to show my progress.

Absolutely brilliant Bobo well done and Im really glad youve typed in your progress its so encouraging to see how well youve done. Congratulations:thumbup: J x

If you paste the the ticker and the log into to this site! there is a signature section under user cp! paste it in the box and save it! You can view it aswell to see what it looks like!

Think this is right!

Thanks odge I think Ive got it right this time. How is your weight loss coming along? J x

you will have 5 wounds (6 for a guy), four of them will be no longer than a cm and 1 will be about 5-6 cm as this is your port.

Welcome allan to the site you will get plenty advice from the guys on here.I hope everthing settels down for you .When i had my op i was in a lot of pain but every day i felt better and better and im sure you will in the days to come.

Yes I think everything is under control:scared2: not. Im absolutely C***ing myself. But I have got the flights, painkillers, soup, glass mugs and stretchy clothing organised. I think when I read kathys post it really scared me so I wish I could get my brain organised as easily. I attend a weight management course but havent really taken it seriously until 2 weeks ago. I know after first week I lost 3 and a 1/2 pounds so hoping to do the same again this week as I have been really good. No alcohol for over a fortnight except on Satuarday at my friends silver wedding anniversary and I can assure you it went straight to my head. So no more I want my liver in 1/2 decent condition for op. Anyway time is creeping up cant believe its came round this quickly. J x:sad:

All pre bandsters dont forget you can take away the apprehension of the unknown by going onto u tube and searching miss flump she has posted a video diary of the hotel, hospital, and she shows her scars immediatly after the op, its not quite as scary when you can see things for your self.

Welcome Allan, hope you start to feel better soon, contact with Gary will help he's such a great Guy, we were at Belgium together, and he also suffered the same as you, also keep in touch with Dr. Chris he might want to see you before your due for a fill.

Bobo you have done brilliant, you guys are doing so well, it really adds to the thread to have a mix, of girls and guys, I bet you re feeling so much better now you've lost 5 STONE

Hi Homecare,

I'm not doing to bad its 5 weeks post op and think i was about 17 1/2 stone when i went in. I'm now 15stone 8 pounds so doing really well! I'm still not eating much! For today for example i have had 2 ryvita with 1 poached egg and a couple of cooked mushrooms and for tea i had cottage pie with carrots which didn't even fill a side plate!

Also i have been trampolining all day! I'm tired but have first fill on thursday in london!

thankyou am just taking it easy today and if i dont fell any better in a day or 2 i will goto the hospital,

well am 20 stone and hope to goto 15 stone,
