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

just checking ticker

Hi, I am sooo glad I found this post. I was really close to booking surgery through Tullia Law but I had to find flights first and she was constantly phoning me saying I had to be quick or the price would go up :puke: so I thought I would google her and came accross this site. It is safe to say I have sent her on her way and I am in the process of getting things organised with Frederick Still very nervous about it all though :/ xxx

im pleased you found this site too you would have had a nightmare going with her,at least you know it will be straigh forward going direct good luck hun:tongue_smilie:

Hi everyone

So its getting sooner for my band, a week on Tuesday, I was nervous at first but after reading stories on this site I am now ready. I am actually looking forward to it. I think for me its not about losing weight quickly, 2lbs a week would be fantastic its about keeping it off and no more yo yo dieting! Im actually fed up having portions the size of my husbands Im just so greedy!!! anyway have cut down on crap last fews days, still having couple of biscuits though . Can I take cup of soups with me? I hate milk so couldnt bear any shakes. xx :puke:

Hi all I just had surgery done on the 5th. I am at home at the moment n still feeling bloated n sore. everthing went brilliantly. I went on my own but i met 3 lovely irish lasses who were travelling wit sister who got ir done. they absolutely treated me like fam. I was 112 kg. Cant wait 2 start losing.

Wishing you lots of luck, I have my op on the 25th x

Hi

I took cup a soups with me(I don't like milk either) but to be honest, I didn't feel much like eating after the op. If you take them, remember and take a mug with you cos the hotel only have small paper cups in the room. Everyone over there is lovely. I am now 4 weeks post op and it feels so long ago now. You will adjust really quickly to what you can and can't eat.

Good luck!

Good luck all the pep thats geting banded i got mine done 3 weeks ago and i feel great just dont pack to much. And before u get banded there is a bakery up the street u have to find it befor the opp the :puke:

Ok I'm scale hopping - and it's driving me crazy.

I'm now 19 days post op. I lost 7lbs in the first 14 days. I'm now looking at perhaps having lost no more than 0.5-1lb in week 3.

I can tell I have no restriction. I'm eating about 800-1100 cals a day.

I understand everyone is different. I'm just intrigued what peoples weight loss was in the first month post op, and secondly how different was it after their first fill?

Thanks guys x

Thank you :puke: I have been booked in for 17th December eek no christmas dinner for me then huh lol! I finish up for xmas holiday on the 16th and dont go back til 10th January so thought that would be the best time for it! I will have to ask for more xmas prezzies to compensate the food! Does anyone know which airport in Brussels I should be flying to? I was looking at ryan air but they dont go to the international airport and was just wondering because of the taxi trips being in the package deal would I have to fly to a specific airport? x

You will adjust really quickly to what you can and can't eat.

Good luck!

Lol, if only it were that easy, because with each fill it changes, and sometimes with each day it changes too.

Just had to tell you that guys.

Hi Everyone.

Not been here for a couple of weeks been sunning myself in egypt! Thanks for the previous comments to my messages.

Anyway, my op is booked for 2 weeks tomorrow. I'm really nervous, not about the op itself but the hard work afterwards. Its great to hear of all of your success stories, it really does give you motivation.

Anyway, any tips in the next few weeks would be very useful.

Hi Lemma

Don't panic everyone goes through this. I am now 7 months post op and have lost only 2.5 stone, nowhere near what I thought I would lose. I am going for fill no 4 this month as I have still got very little restriction, managed a chinese last night.....

If you are calorie counting be careful not to starve yourself or your weight loss will stop altogether as body goes into starvation mode. Aim for 1200 cals min per day. Ask your GP to see a dietician as that might help too.

I think we all expect super fast weight loss and it just doesn't happen with the band - you have to work at it, the band is just a tool to help. The bypass and Sleeve are completely different and you lose weight very very quickly which personally I dont think is good for you.

Keep going and your weight loss will come in its own time

I flew in to charleroi with ryan air bcause it was much cheaper(over £100 each) and we hired a car for 3 days which cost £60. It is too far for a taxi to be included in the package offered by Frederik but only about 50 minutes in the car and a straight road
