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

Hi all

All packed got euros, and my list of pain killer,s food stuff,just want to get it over with now.

Hi all hope ur all doing good. Got a wee problem havn't been able to eat anything for a couple of days without it coming back up. Feel like ive got something stuck. Will it eventually dislodge itself or do i need to get defilled. I would be grateful for any advice.

hi wyliecat i had the same thing i was away in belfast for the weekend and felt as though my throat was closing over,everything i tried to eat soup? felt like i was bloated and then a few mins later i was sick,i ate nothing the whole weekend,i was thinking of getting a defill too but today i feel a bit better so think i will persevere with it and just stick to shakes or somthing untill my stomach shrinks and it eases my band lol as i can take fluids ok so think i will put up with it for a bit xx

Hi Freckles, sorry to hear about your daughter hope she is doing ok.

My youngest daughter had her 3rd fill last thursday and has restriction, she now has 6ml in.

Chris Deprez put 1 ml in mine bringing me up to 7 thats the most I've ever had in and its great, I dont even feel hungry, I have to force myself to eat, and we're talking 3 desertspoonfuls of soup and I'm stuffed!!!

Bring on the weightloss, this is what its all about.

Hi slinky you doing well girl, i had 4 fills 8mls in my band i still don't have any restriction i eat quite a lot!! i spoke to frederick but he said i shouldn't be having any more fill 4 a long time!!

i haven't lost any since my last fill last month so im very depress i might be the unlucky one !!

Hey all.

Hope all is well with you. I had my first fill at the start of the month. Didin't really do anything for me. I was already restricted still from the op. Feeling hungry these days but still can't eat a lot. Have been snacking on chocolate which is not good but it's the only think I've tried that doesn't hurt when I eat. Anyone any ideas of what I can do?

Freckles so sorry to hear about your poor daughter. My thoughts are with you and your family xxx

everyone for your kind words, they mean a lot. They are having the tiny baby cremated, the service is today, just a private one for Rachel and Matt. Maybe then they will get some closure.

I have lost almost 5lbs since last Thursday, so well chuffed, only another 5 to go before I get back to my pre-Crimbo weight.

Dont know whether its because I have got that stupid flu thing, or whether its my restriction, but I dont really feel hungry, and when I try I have to think what CAN I eat.

Dont worry about eating chocolate, if thats all you can eat, do it, you have to eat something.

Been there, done that.

Freddyboys phone number is ......+32(0)472019091 or at least thats the number he gave me last year, I hope it hasnt changed.

Yeah i know what u mean sliky, As i havnt been losing that much weight and i dont want a defill if anything i was going to have another fill lol. Its a bit better 2day can get soup and liquids down now. I had eat a piece of chicken and think it was that that got stuck, so i'll need to try and be more careful when eating. I suppose its a learning curve. Hope u feel better soon xx

hi laila your doing well yourself hun,considering you havnt any restriction,i can hardly eat a thing,if your still not losing weight ask freddy to take your fluid out and check hw much you have in to make sure you have 8ml cause i have 6.5 and can only eat few mouthfulls and dont feel hungry at all see how you get on first xx

hope your ok sara let us know how you got on xx

Off to see Dr Chris next week for a fill, not lost any weight now for months so starting to get a bit down

On the plus side I am 3 stone lighter than I was this time last year - I just thought it would have been quicker than this

This fill should give me real restriction as already got 7ml in 7ml band - how much weight should I hope to see fall off in 4 weeks of tight restriction???

I am off to Oz in 4 weeks so will need to get a de-fill before I go but reckon if I can lose 7 lbs or so in next month it would be worth the £90 for a fill - Am I being mad???

Hi everyone!

I haven't been on here for a while - just wanted to post a cautionary tale... yesterday I had to have a complete de-fill & spent 7 hrs in hospital just for not chewing a pizza slice well enough!

The dough got stuck in my stomach and I was violently sick over 30 times in 2 days - couldn't even keep water down and was in loads of pain. Was up all night for the past 2 nights with the worst reflux imaginable...

So I'll never eat pizza/dough again... and will make sure I chew food better from now on.

Disappointed I have to start again with the fills... but so relieved I'm able to drink again now.

Hope everyone else is doing well!
