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

Hello all!

Just a quick question,

I sent my deposit and flight details over to frederik at the beginning of the month but I haven't heard anything back

I sent another email over a week ago just to double check he received it and nothing back again.

So i was just wondering if anyone else had any problems getting a conformation email because he normally replies to me within a couple of days

Thanks

Email him again and mark it as URGENT and just say that you are a little concerned.

Sure they have got it and all is well just that they are really busy, I think they may be in need of a little assistance and perhaps didn't realise just how busy they were going to be from the UK end! Saying that there was a lady from Holland there when I had my band done. So he has a wide catchment area.

Good luck, when are you booked to go?

Take care

Hi All

Went to see the lovely Dr Chris today and had a small defll of 2mls ready for going to Australia, on the plus side I had lost 3.5 kgs since my last fill in Feb so hopefully wont put it all back on again now

SaraP it was lovely to meet you - I hope you managed to get your fill this time and without any complications - remember dont be too disheartened if you have no restriction as some people, me included, needed 3 or 4 before starting to feel a difference.

Well doubt I will be back on here before my big trip so good luck to everyone and speak again in 4 weeks when I get back

Love

Hi how is everyone? How nice is the weather? :-)

Got my third fill today and lost 51/2lb since last fill next month so thats a total of 29lbs....well chuffed!! Could defo feel the band after that fill anyway.....fingers crossed that will be the last xx

I have 5.5 ml in and definitely feel restriction but have only lost couple of pound since that third fill I think I'm eating the same things and need to change my diet from crackers and philadelphia lite and yogurts to something more substantial cos my body conserving the fat. And need to exercise more. What do you eat at your best restriction?

hey

i had an appointement to have a fill last mon but it was cancelled as i was told frederick has a family emergency. I had my surgery on the 11th of jan but have only had one fill since and i am not losing anything at the moment. i have very little restriction. i have tried to make another appt with my clinic and but they don't phone me back!

do they run other clinics in dublin? and how do you contact them to make an appointment

hi honeybell there are no clinics in belfast this month hun because of st patrick day they are back in april phone julie mcintosh for appointment im going then also,and your first fill dosnt do much hun so your next fill will help,ps they do do clinics in dublin too but julie will have all of them xx

Evening all,

Weighed in yesterday and had lost another 1.5 lbs and 3 inches so very happy that the 0.5ml fill I had is doing it's magic.

Still only really managing soup but tying to pack in the protein with this as much as possible.

I have to have a recycle of my clothes as I look a little like a clown as trousers are far too long and very baggy. Had Imi's district show and there were a few people there who did a double take and were quite shocked at what they saw infront of them! So well pleased that it's having this effect. I even managed to ensure someone didn't recognise me at all! What a feat!

Booked for another fill at the beginning of May, hopefully with Dr Chris and then I will book for my yearly check for the beginning of August if they are over. Hoping to have reached my target of 101 lbs by my first bandiversary (31st July)! We shall see. So I have lost 76 pounds and I did say I was going to have a treat. We have booked a couple of days over Easter in Mudeford so shall go paddling and crabbing with the children and have a fun time.

Well will be back again in the next few days or even next week.

Take care and look after yourselves.

Claire

hi everyone,

I would like to ask you for advice, sorry for changing subject but it is very important and time factor in an issue. As I mentioned before I am with a group of other nurses in the redeployment process due to closure of hospital I work in now.

we r closing in few days exactly on thursday 31 March 2011. Group of us nurses including myself still have not got post and we feel discriminated during all that redeployment process. I dont want to go to many details because is complicated. The reason I sharing that with you all is that perhaps somebody was in similar situation(being discriminated or feeling that being disciminated).Maybe somebody can help me with complaining, we a bit lost in that whole situation, very stressed out,confused,scared at times but from the other hand we all know the whole process was very poorly handled. Our boss says that they followed redeployment policy and they can sleep peacfully at night( would you believe that).

I would be so greatful for any help suggestions or even contacts with competent people to possibly help us.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

blondynurse
