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

Hi All

I'm off tomorrow morning - being banded on Tuesday. I've lost a few pound on the low fat diet, looking forward to losing loads more.

I'm actually not too worried at the moment, it'll probably hit me on the train on the way there. lol

No doubt I'll be in touch soon looking for more of all your valuable advice.

Hi Angel

So good to hear from you, I didn't realise you were on here (just a double check - you were the blonde scottish lady). I am feeling so much better, still feel quite dragged down on the haematoma side but I'm getting there.

I'm managing to eat Soups, custards, jelly (low fat of course) etc with no discomfort at all. In fact I can't wait to move onto something a little more substantial. When is it that we can eat mushies? Is it 10 days? I can't wait. I don't feel any restriction at all and not sure whether I should be or not as it has not been filled.

I've kept in touch with the others that had the op that day and they are all doing really well. Although I haven't heard from Mary, the scottish lady, but I'm sure she is fine as she and her daughter went to Brussels shopping on the day I left.

Keep well.

Hi Sherrybabbe,

Good luck with yours and I will be following your progress and hopefully we can share experiences as we go.

Hi all,

so excited to say that I have booked my surgery, I am going through Frederick Dr Chris's assistant, I am booked in for the 17th of November and I cannot wait. Just wondered if there are any others out there going for the same date? Glad you are feeling better DizzyDebs. This is really exciting to feel I will be one of you guys soon. Happy Days regards Mia

well done, you won't regret it; even though you might think you've been hit by a truck (haha) after the op but this soon goes. nearly 3 weeks for me and already my scars are disappearing (bio oil) rubbed on every night! haven't weighed yet as waiting till first fill on 29th.

cheers

Goodluck to all who are going soon and everyone who has just been, even though i am a bit peed with the lack of weight loss at the min i DONT regret having my band and would do it all again, you are in great hands with dr chris and his team x
