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

testing ticker and info after update

Hi girlies, glad you're all ok, you all sound good.

I was thinking of going for a fill with freddyboy in March as I can eat most things and am not losing anything.

Anyone going to Manchester in March?

I keep thinking if I hadnt gone to have a de-dill when I went to Oz, I would be at target by now :biggrin:

Ahh well bring on the next fill.

Me hopefully!! Not booked it yet, but it's 11 March or 8 April, don't want to wait that long.

May see you there. x

I'll mail Chris tomorrow, thanx for the date info Jojo, what time are you going?

Like I said I haven't booked it yet, and as I've never been before I'm not sure what kind of times are available. The earlier the better for me really, I'd like the option of getting back early and getting nearly a full day's work in if possible? I thought we went through a local woman to arrange? I need to look back through my literature I think! Any info you have would be appreciated.

Hi Jojo, just wanted to catch up with you to see how life was going? I am sure you'll get the kick start youre looking for soon enough. You got off to a flying start and I certainly hope I do the same. My excitement level is growing , a week tomorrow and I start my journey to Belgium. I cannot wait. I really wish it was tomorrow I was going, but it will be here before I know it, then I will be a bandster yeahhhhh !!

Take Care. Paul

Hi Paul, I am getting excited too, want it to be now so I can get on with things, how is the pre op diet going. I have to confess had a few false starts but as today is 1st March seems an ideal time to start - for real. Susan

Hi Tamisu, great to hear from you again, I did'nt know Dr Chris did gallbladder ops, I would be interested in your story.

Hi mmm! Thanks for askin'! I've known for a year that I have 2 gallstones (1.5 and 1.7 cm). At my annual exam w/ Dr. Chris, I mentioned it to him. He told me my gallbladder must come out because if it becomes infected, my band could become infected and then I would have to have my band out. Well, I can't have that!! The thing is, it hardly ever bothered me, (I mean like once or twice a year, but now it is hurting pretty regularly for the past couple days, but not too badly). Hope I make it to surgery date. -T

Quick question, my partner would like to hire a car on our trip to Belgium. Just had a look at cost and it comes to £80. Can anyone advise how much they roughly think the taxis will cost. Taking into account 2 journeys to and from airport to Vilvoorde, then from hotel to hospital, back and forth for partner and then me. I know it is a rough cost so appreciate anyone's view on this. Thanks for posting everyone it is important to those of us who haven't been banded yet and beginning our journey, Susan

Well ok so far it seems. I have been trying to give it a trial for a few weeks already.

I think I am used to eating like this now so it's becoming the norm!

This time next Monday I will be about 20 mins from arriving in belgium, so just one

final push this week to see if I can improve my pre op loss at all. Good luck with yours

also. Paul

Hi Splatt

Did you not book with Dr Chris - taxis are covered in the fee's.

How has day one gone on the pre-op diet, I started off well but ended in disaster. Have got terrible indigestion and heart burn too - feel like something is lodged in the back of my throat - drinking Gaviscon like its going out of fashion - worried that if i dont get rid they won't operate......

How you feeling about getting op? I shift between worried sick and can't wait - just want to get started but worried something will go wrong - suppose everyone feels like that.

Talk soon

Hi Paul

I can tell that your getting excited now about getting your op - I suppose I am too - mixed with nerves of course.

Started pre-op diet today but not gone too well - wondering if I should be honest with folk at work and tell them why I need to stick to the diet instead of giving in and eating sweeties and stuff with them - worried what they will say about it

How are things going with you?
