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

Cheers flirty,gary homecare

Good for you flirty i think now you deserve to have decent restriction for the money you've spent.Sometimes its the only way in life you'll get somethings is by complaining.Fred obviously thinks because you've done so well that you must have had restriction but you know yourself you haven't.Its sods law but i bet you this is the time when you get your next fill at Christmas you'll be as tight as hell and you wont be able to have a Christmas dinner.lol

I'm sure with all the exercises you do Gary you'll be fine .If i could do a tenth of what you do it would fall off me.lol

Do you think that will be you with fills for this year?

I'm delighted for you home care thats brill when you put it like that as I'm sure it wont be long before you get to your goal.

Hey bobo yeah i was thinking that myself il prob be super tight and be a nightmare at xmas and dying to eat all before me but if i can just have tiny amounts at a time il be happy least i mite not gain over the festive season lol

Homecare well done on the loss ur doing great and in such a short space of time bet ur so happy with urself and so ya should be x

OMG i am still super tight a teaspoon of food is all i can manage,think i will need to go back to soup so i can feel as though i m eating something.

Roll on the weightloss though

Oh Garry you must be dying to eat something but the weight will prob fall off now wish i was in your position for a while...

I missed going for my fill today as i had to work so im going to try the 5 day liquid thing and see how i get on, Iv got my induction at the gym next week so i hope that will help the weight move x

I was quite surprised yesterday as I went for my 4th fill and not too happy about weight loss. However I lost another 4lbs this month and Wendy has told me that I have now lost 56 percent of the weight I need to lose,. So Im over the half way mark at 4 and a half months from being banded. Put that way really cheered me up.

Your doing great Bobo.

Flirty youve done brilliantly without restriction but you should have got what you paid for so defo be firm with CDB.

Gary I hope everythings going well for you.

TIN where are you, how you doing, did you go for a fill yesterday? Im going back in Dec at 1.30 would love to catch up. Jx

Great to hear of all your succes stories, I am nervous as hell now as I am being banded on Tuesday 17th Nov. Keep having strange dreams and waking up in a cold sweat. Not dreaming about the operation though, keep dreaming all my teeth fall out for some reason and that I am being chased. Oh well the fear will all be over come Tuesday evening. I totally admire you all for the courage it takes to go ahead with the op. Have not told very many people so am having to keep a lid on my feelings, just want it to all be over. I will be thinking of all your wonderful words of wisdom and every thing I have read on here come Tuesday, you have all helped to inspire me to make this big decision and I thanks you for that. May not get a chance now to get back on here so will come back on post op. best wishes all. MiaBlue

aw thats a shame, the gym will make a huge difference but please please please give it time, i say to folk that it will take at least a month of going min of 3 times a week before even mentally you feel the benefit and then you will get obsessed, just trust me. Some days you will drive into car park and want to drive right back out but it does change.

Good luck Mia blue and anyone else going for surgery. Jx

Hi all, i have been reading your advice to each other and it is brilliantthat you are all so supportive of each other how cool is that.

I am a newbie i was banded on 6th october2009, and i am due for my first fill on 19th november, i have lost around a stone and 1 lb since being banded, which doesnt seem that much to be honest i am struggling to stick to healthy options and low fat food grrrrrr i am pretty hungry is this normal.

maybe you guys could help me out by pointing me in the right direction lol

I have also noticed that some people have had quite a few fills, how many do you get and when, who decides how much fill you get, also how long does this fill carry on go on for God i sound so needy haha i just need to know what to look out for.

Please tell me it isnt painfull getting the first fill done.

thanks so much for letting me vent my fears, yor a brilliant bunch and congratulations on all the weight loss you have all done so well i feel a failure already hahaha.

look forward to hearing from you all and having your support

Hi Moonbeam and Susybaby, Yes we were all at the stage of wanting our first fill to start the journey. I personally booked a package with WLS for six months. Its usually £350 pounds for this but I know they are having a special offer in December and January and are charging £275. I cant recommend them enough, Wendy the fill nurse is FAB.

It isnt painful at all and I look forward to going to see the weight loss and fat mass I may have lost.

You are doing great with your weight loss and have lost this weight with willpower just think what a little help with restriction will give you. Please remember your first fill usually doesnt give any restriction. I was lucky enough to start feeling restriction after 3 fills but I still need it tweeked i.e a little put in probably 0.5mls which isnt much but when your near your sweet spot it makes one hell of a difference. If you need any info pm me and I will be happy to help. Jx
