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

Best wishes for all of you who are going to Belgium its so exciting and a start of a new era in your lives.

Gary can you also ask about the slendertone belt as mention previously I've got one and would like to start using it again if poss, I have used it previously. I know it tones the stomach muscles but think how well the stomach muscles will look toned and not hidden by so much fat.

Welcome Deedee...........Its sounds pretty scary when you say you got food stuck, reading the posts it sounds as though most people suffer with it at some time or another. I'm keeping my band a secret from most people so I will have to come up with some really good explanations for some of the common symptoms, let alone a reason for not eating for the next ten days!!!!

:tongue2: I'm flying out in the morning to get banded and so is Shellangel, hopefully we will meet at the hospital. This thread is great for all the info you'll need and everyone on here is so supportive.

Best Wishes

Jackie

Jackie and Shellangel,

Good luck with tomorrow. You'll be fine

Welcome deedee its great to hear from new bandsters, I know you'll fit in you can have great conversations with freckles, (bowels and stuff). Dont be dispondant if you dont get instant results when you have a fill, some do get restriction but some dont see much difference until about 2nd or 3rd. Its different for everyone, but so far you have done so well with a great weight loss. Well Done You. :tongue2:

God this thread moves fast!!

Just wanted to say help and good luck to everyone going to Belgium in the next couple of weeks especially you Garry! I'm so glad they've sorted it out so quickly for you. Let's hope it requires minimal intervention!!

I'm stood still at the same weight, I feel like crap most of the time. I'm living off cheddars and biscuits though I do make sure I force down one decent meal a day! I think half of it is the food smells so I'll just have to eat out every day in Italy! We're off on Friday for a week when Harrison will be 1, scary where time has gone!!

Hello to everyone and I'll catch u when I'm back x

Sammy enjoy your hols, you can always sort out you diet and queezyness when you get back, take your vitamins and relax and have fun. Report back when you can you lucky girl.

Please ask about rowing machine for me I use one for about 20 mins, but not that often if I'm honest. Good luck Gaz.

Birthday outing for me to Madam Fona (ladies fitting specialist) Yippee dropped a bra size around the back but not around the front, changed from 38d to 36d, I love this moody band, so no more over the shoulder boulder holder, now its pretty frothy lace. :tongue2:

Hi Mmm and very happy birthday. I got measured/fitted last week and we are the same bra sizes now - think that means we are practically related! Only I didn't go to high fallutin Madam Fancy Pants or whoever she is, went to good old Marks. Have a great evening, especially if you're going out. Bigsis xx

Welcome to Deedee. I have only lost 2st 4lbs so far and have been banded since middle of January so it can be slow, especially after the initial good loss that usually follows soon after surgery but you have to try not to get disheartened if that happens. Hope you have seen the last of your 'rugby ball' bowel problem, save by the Movical eh?! Bigsister x

Hi Garry im so pleased for you thank god they have been far about it just the hassle of having to go back over but hopefully it will just be a little repair they can do it with a local you've done so well so far far i know its a bit of a hassle but you need to get it sorted finger's crossed for you, glad you made the point about fills i have been going to Fred all a long i think im only 1 fill away from sweet spot and was considering going to Wendy also to get some advice is well but i think i will stick to Fred at the mo unless Dr Chris makes some arrangement with her its just Freds not great for information and peep's on here speak very highly about Wendy, don't get me wrong about Fred hes been very nice it just he doesn't seem have much to say about diet and stuff lets hope they can come to some arrangement maybe we will all have to nominate you Gar as are spokes person:rolleyes::tongue2:

Good luck Jackie and Shellangel for tomorrow......all will be fine, stay positive....this is the start of something great !!! I will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Welcome Deedee68. Glad to hear all is going well for you.

Well done Bigsis and Mmm on the new boob size. I hope mine go down after banding !!!

Woop Woop if we are practically related, can we please move up to the step and Please, please,please can I join the naughty sisters gang, I dont have a sister and feel quite left out :tongue2:

Of course you can be another of our adopted sisters Mmm and join Flirty as we made her one too! You have to be very experienced and proficient in bickering and pinching clothes tho! But as we are the same age, we will have to be twin sisters, and as we are same boob size, we can share bras! (There's a Fantasie one I've got my eye on if you'd like to get that for your birthday?) Twinsis xx (Down side is you get Gillian as a little sis!)

Starsky - I'm sure yours will be deflated soon after banding too, your date will soon be here. Hope you're all prepared, how is the fluid intake going? Bigsis xx

Thanks, thanks, I promise I'll be really naughty, not very good at bickering, but boy can I pinch clothes. I have a Fantasie (mink and turquoise) its been very comfortable but now too big, I bought chantelle matching sets today for my birthday treat. I'm not going out tonight so just settling down with a bottle of baileys Mmmmmmmmmmm xxxmmm

hi, well ishared a room with charlotte and claire (lady from dublin). i was the one who stayed in a different hotel cos we drove thru from germany xx hope that helps

Awwww you guys are great. I felt devastated yesterday after the Drayton Manor ride fiasco and didnt realise that anyone else could understand how i felt. Thanks so much for not making me feel alone in mi chunky misery. I sooooooo can't wait til 8th Sept (altho mi bank balance can)! lol

Im a bit naive when it comes to this ticker melarchy. Please can someone tell me how to pop a plane on a countdown tape. X

Bev, I remember when I went to Alton Towers once, it was a few years ago but I had a near miss.......

I was sat on 'Oblivion' and the belt would only click into its slot once (but it needed to be a double click). I sat there and the light stayed red on my seat and the attendant had to come over to see what the problem was.......luckily he gave it a big push and it double clicked !!!!! How lucky was I......it was embarressing though.

I will defo not be going again until Im at least 3 stone lighter !!
