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

No problems freckles i think if you get a little taken out alot of your problem will ease off.I'm only going by my experience when i got a little taken out the reflux stopped.I have had it once since then and i ate toast before going to bed so i wont do that again.Thats one of the changes i made that i have my dinner early never later than 6pm unless im out somewhere for dinner and i very rarely have any supper so i don't give it a chance to happen.My supper is usually a few drinks and they just slide down as you know.lol

I think you are very wise to just have a bit out, it took me 3 fills to get back to what I was before the de-fill Bobo.

This damn acid reflux is a real pain, anyone know why it happens?

I'm okay when I am just laying there reading but as soon as I fall asleep it starts, whats that all about?

Gonna see if I can do some research.

Hi Freckles, if you find anything out about reflux please let me know, I either have no restriction and no reflux or if I get enough fill to give me even a slight amount of restriction I get cronic reflux ( I really mean cronic) its as if I'm drowning, I need to be propped by 6 pillows and still I get it, its like mucus coming into my mouth, and nose, all through the night, I cough and spit up all night (sorry to be so grafic). I'm at the point now of putting on quite a bit of weight I'm now 1 stone heavier than at last autumn. I'm on double dose omeprasol 40mg. :ohmy:

I know what you mean maggs, before i got this tiny bit put in I was putting on weight, only a couple of pounds, but you have to keep on top of that dont you.

I cant get any out cos I will be back to what I was at my last fill, where I had restriction but wasnt losing.

I know where you're coming from Bobo, but do you understand my predicament and it seems that maggs is the same :ohmy:

It is awful when it comes up in your throat and disturbs your sleep, horrible, sicky taste too.

So last night before I went to sleep I ate 2 teaspoons of Honey, dont ask me why I just thought I'd try it, being natural and all, and guess what, no reflux all night.

Now I dont know if it was a fluke, but I will be doing that again tonight, just to see.

Hi Carriejess, no i havent received a reply yet. I have also sent a copy to Frederick but havent heard back from him either. You have done fantastic by the way!!! x

Hi

Well Ive found out now that I have a definate leak somewhere, either in the port or the band itself so I am going back to Belgium to have it repaired. (more bloody money)!!!!!

I arrive in Belgium on the evening of 3rd May and the op is being done on the 4th or 5th May.

Anyone else going during these dates?

That bloody volcano!!!

Dr Chris has now had to cancel my first fill appointment tomorrow because of the disruption - now can't see him until 20th May.

I desperately need it now and feel gutted I am going to have to wait another 4 weeks. That means another 4 weeks with little or no weight lost also

Totally Pee'd Off

I was so upset yesterday but trying to remain positive and gonna try and follow the weight watchers plan for next 4 weeks and up the exercise - aiming to lose 7 lbs before 20 May - positive mental attitude is what I need now instead of feeling sorry for myself - past experience tells me that will lead to me comfort eating and I don't want that

For God's sake, what a damn shame, you poor girl.

I had a leak also and had to pay out another £3590, but not with dr Chris, I was banded both times with Van den Bossche in the Bupa Southampton, the manufacturer gave me a free band, but it took me a year to get the op done and I put on 2 stone and was heavier when I had the second one than in the begining.

Good luck sweetheart.

Sorry to here that for you guys i know how hard it is before you get your fill .Wls group have just been to Glasgow on Tue so thats a no no.Mabay Garry will be able to give you Dr Chris depezs email he does Glasgow and is connected with Dr Chris debruyne.He might do different dates and get yous your fill a bit quicker.

Sorry to hear your news englishrose thats terrible.Do they know how the leak happened was it during a fill?Have you to pay the full price for another op.?

Thanks Freckles. I keep telling myself that I have still lost over 5 stone so all is not lost but Im still peeved that the band/port needs repairing. I didnt have my fills with Dr Chris. I went to a BUPA private hospital just down the road from me, maybe thats a lesson learned! I dont know where the leak is and wont know until the day of surgery. To be honest I think Ive had the leak since February 2009 because I was overfilled and had some taken out, since that date I havent lost any weight and could eat pre-band amounts of food. Ive been going to the gym and for a swim 4 times a week so Im quite active now so luckily I havent put any weight on.

Ive been told it will cost 1500 Euros to replace the port and 2000 Euros to replace the band (this includes their hotel and taxi package). I dont know where the leak is yet and wont know until the day of surgery so I dont know if it was caused my having a fill. Dr Chris did say that it is more likely to be in the port.

that would be great bobo anythings worh a try who does your fills are you with dr chris
