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

:thumbup:Hi all meet Wendy yesterday she is really nice , told her you all speak well of her on her and she was pleased that the word is going round about her and said if any one out there is not happy with there fill provider or just wants some info to give her a call , she is going out to meet Dr Chris soon to see about doing packages with him too she said i have a small band it will only take about 7 1/2 mils and she put in 3 mils yesterday and i am going back to see her next month I have taken the 12 month package as it was on offer it cost me £ 530 plus my £30 deposit and the 6 months are on offer for £ 270 so they are great value at the moment she had to do me standing up as i have got a lot of scar tissue she said as i lose weight it should be easier to find the port so lets hope i start to lose some more weight but they were pleased with the 1 stone 8 lbs i have lost so far so fingers crossed xxsuefeexx:thumbup:

Hi Suefee,

Do you have a number for Wendy?

From what I've read on the posts she sounds wonderful

I have a friend who had her band done in the UK but lives in Ireland. She travelled to London last week. Had 5ml put in and still no restriction and its costing a lot of money on flights, accommodation etc

Might be using her myself too!!!

Hi Toppings,

My friend is getting banded on tuesday the 11th august! Are you sure that isn't supposed to be the date your getting banded as he only does tuesdays and fridays as far as i'm aware!!! Might be worth checking with him!!! You don't want to be a day late!!!

Hi Odge,

Oh thanks for that - I emailed him flight details and all is ok.

Met the lovely Fred in Dublin a couple of weeks ago.

When I was booking the banding op he only had 6th, 11th and 12th August then it was any Tuesday or Friday in Sept.

I maybe think he is doing 12th cos he isn't doing Friday that week.

Get your friend on here and tell her how nice we all are....

Good luck flirty for your big day, how long are you in the uk for, and will you have access to wifi and laptop, if not would you have a problem with your visitors from here reporting on your progress because I def want to know that you are doing ok on a regular basis. Well done on giving up smoking, and think how many more clothes you can buy on the money you will save.

Ah Shoes,

I feel for you. Must be so frustrating just surviving on Willpower and having no restriction.

Keep with it girl and look at how well you've done so far...

4 and a half stone is that right???

You've done fantastic.

Maybe Wendy comes to Ireland? Fingers crossed she sounds brilliant

Hi guys and dolls, congrats to all the losers, the new banders starting their jouney. Everyone is doing so well, it is inspireing reading all your good wishes and messages. Dose anyone know if Wendy comes to Manchester, if not what is the nearest area to manchester dose she do her surgery/fills. Any hlep and advise will be apprecated. I have just had my 2nd fill last week and still no restriction. It is getting really hard now being good. I have started to do aqua arobics twice a week and today my lovely hubby has bought me a tummy cruncher, which hopfully will help me. X Thanks to you all in advance x

Well done beeboo thats great news 9lb. It will give you a lift loosing that amount and im sure it will spurn you on to loose even more.

Is the pouch shrinking diet the same as the 5 day pouch test where you are on liquid for two day then soft protien for two the hard protien for one.?

Cheers homecare yes im feeling pleased with my self i will be quite content to get half a stone off a month.

Hi odge ye nice to meet you today.Seven pounds since your last fill is great good for you.

I had a protien milk shake when i came home and struggled with that and later had a glass of water and took a couple of big gulp and i got the slime and brought it back up .Had some tomato soup for dinner and that went down fine.So i think i will just have to take my time when im drinking.

good effort bobo mate that good consitency, your restriction sounds like i had initially but gone so i am definently getting a top up on fri.

Hi all

I got back from my fill in Glasgow today about an hour ago, god i'm tired 9 hour round trip!!!!

Lost half a stone since last fill which is ok!!! Wendy is really nice and she put in 1.6ml in so i am now at 4.6ml after 2 fills!!! water is going down fine just a little slower!

Was nice to meet you today bobo! how's your girgling!!!!:thumbdown:

Jo x

P.s

Sorry can't remember who said it but i still get stitch in my side when i walk quickly and i've been banded 2 months so not to worry!!!!

well done odge on your weightloss and fill hope its good for you.g

Hey gary can you tell me your quorn curry recipe again, plllzzzzz, im going to try it tomorrow night x

wishfull

items you need,

1 large onion chopped

1-2 tins tomatoes

tomato puree

1/4-1/2 jar of patak currypaster (either vindaloo or balti) dont panic vindaloo aint too hot.

water

1st fry off the onion in oil then add the curry paste and stir and cook for 5 mins.

add the quorn mince tomatoes puree and water to nearly cover and bring to boil, the liquid will absord quickly so keep an eye on it, i then let it simmer for 30-40 mins and if you want at end add a big spoon of low fat creme fraiche and enjoy with rice.

Hi Topping i am very happy about weight loss so far, i new in the beginning the first few fills i wouldn't get proper restriction on my 4th one Fred said some came back out this should be it for me i was expecting to have good restriction, i do have some in the morning but by the afternoon it wheres off i say i could eat anything buy then but try to be so good,just feel now is the time i really need help from the band,im just a bit worried getting another fill so close to hols i could be to tight, it be great if Wendy comes to Dublin she seems to have a lot of time for peeps, Fred is ok but sometimes you feel a bit rushed x:smile:

Sorry guys i posted twice earlier didn't think it went through having problems with site at the mo anyone else having probs with post :thumbdown:
