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

Its 2.33am and I'm in the hotel. After an ultrasound i was told I had a haematoma on the muscle which they think caused the bleed.

I'm not ashamed to say that it has scared me.

I feel rubbish and I am in a lot of pain from where the port is and the extra stitches. The trapped gas is god awful and feels like my stomach is about 3" from my throat.

I keep asking myself "what have I done?"

Be prepared everyone who is yet to go - this is quite a big op.

I need to try and sleep but it hurts to lay down and I can't get comfortable.

I didn't want this to be a moaning reply but I can't fib cos this is no easy option.

I hope I feel better soon. Nite nite x

i would be scared to lemma,i think anyone would,when you go fo an op and you know what is going to happen and what the outcome should be and your's if different and somthing dosnt happen the way everyone else's has it is a worry,but you will be fine hun and each day you will get better,try and sleep on your side with a pillow under you tummy that's what i done and for the wind as hard as it might be try walking it's suppose to really help,i didnt get the wind pains so i can only imagine how it feels,hope when you wake up today it has eased off a bit take care hun:wink2:

Lemma the worst is over it will get better everyday, i had a different problem from you I said the same thing "what have i done"? but everyone is so supportive on this site we all motivate each other here and when everybody told me it will get better everyday they meant it!! now i don regret it at all!!

I am going for my first fill today in london at 2.40 is anybody else going there? i just hope it dosen't hurt can't bear anymore pain!!

good morning everyone,

I have recently cancelled with Bridget and am waiting to hear back from Frederik, my flights are booked already as I was in the OP on 20th October, starting to panic now as Frederik has not got back to me to say he has put me back in!! Is he always slow???

Reading some of your stories is great but I will be honest I just dont know if I am doing the right thing, I was always a skinny minny and then met my gorgeous husband and thryoid problem and suddenly put on 5 stone of weight ( well suddenly.. maybe not.... over a period of couple of years!!) this was my fault though I just love to eat and not normal portions but big ones... (match my hub anyday!!). I then lost the weight through slimming clubs and running. Unfortunately became ill and have since given up on sports and eating well and have put 2 stone on in a year..... For me this OP isnt just about losing weight quickly, its about not having a weight problem.. its about wanting to eat smaller portions and to be honest I am just so fed up being big.. I am so down about my weight its awful.....

Anyway sorry about the moan... god I needed that!! Please help me decide its the right thing to do. (I am using alot of our savings for this) thanks everyone you are all doing so well... xx:blink:

Hi Lil

Just wanted to wish you good luck with your operation. Are you travelling with someone?

Hi all

Best of luck to all those who are goin for their bands and getting fills. Im really jealous, as i am only starting to save now and on top of that saving for a mortgage. :smile2:

Im 20 odd stone, i did manage to get down to 17 stone but put up 3..so sad, worked at it for a year and once i ate, normally, well what i call normal is prob not too healthy.

I would love to be able to just book it and get it done and not have to wait months..
