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 everyone,

0.75ml fill which was unbelievable and has given me complete restriction! So in two weeks i have lost a stone and now have 28lbs to go. Does anyone have any comments on their experiences of full restriction? I'm not sure if it's too tight or the best routine to get into x

What exactly are you asking? What our restriction experiences have been like?

I was very tight but lost the weight and more and recently went to have a 2ml defill. I am now able to eat and have a lot more energy and look a lot better!! At one oint Ilooked like death warmed up and needed to go for a defill. Definately worth it ok I have less restricton and this has helped ease the acid reflux, burning and I feel like I can eat and know my limits now whereas before I didn't know my limits because it was forcing me to stop.

HTH

Just enjoyed some lovely Brie and Rioja! Yummy

Loving not being so restricted! Hoping on and off te scales though in absolute fear!! Only 3 lbs on in a week that's ok!

Bought some fabulous purple boots (puss in boots) yesterday looking forward to receiving these in the post!

Have fun

Hi everyone haven't been on in a while, went for my first fill today in Glasgow, it has been over two years since last one. Wendy put in just over half a ml and said she wouldn't have got anymore in cause of the pressure so that takes my band to 6.2 ml and hopefully I have restriction. I'm stick to soups and yoghurt's now for as long as I can manage without going crazy. havent updated my ticker yet but have 55 lb ish to go.

Can't wait to get my weight loss started again.

Any healthy meal ideas would be greatly appreciated xxxx

I feel like every now and again I need to have a de-fill and a little normality for a month, only problem is the weight comes back on. So is this my story for the rest of my life I ask myself?

I cant eat and drink alcohol, its one or the other, or else I put weight on

I'm also scared that when I get my next fill, I wont lose the weight I have put on. Is this normal do you think?

hey guys have a quick question. had my fill on Wednesday and have been sticking to soups and yoghurt's, but I'm always hungry so am eating about 6 times a day, I can't eat a lot at a time but within an hour I'm hungry. should I go on mushies? please help

Hello Everyone,

Haven't been on here in ages......

Last year had to have a bronchoscopy after having lung infections for the best part of 6 months.

Ii Found out my lungs were clear but it was my wind pipe that was inflammed.

This was caused by the band being too tight and constant reflux at night, with droplets going in to my trachea every night.

Was prescribed steroids to reduce the inflammation in the trachea.

The consultant diagnosed I was anemic too.

So big defill in November. Since then I've put on 8 kilos.

I've booked to have an x ray in Belgium at Dr Chris's clinic on Wed 15th Feb.

I'm afraid that a 'pouch' has developed above the band, as when the band was 'tight' I could still eat loads.

So just curious has anyone had a fill with Dr Chris's clinic before?

What am i to expect?

Need him to do a fill while I'm there

Any information would be greatly appreciated

Hi,

I have only had one fill with Dr Chris which was my first one, 3 people I Know have always had fills with him and have had problem from pierced ports to over filling.

I go to Wendy at WLS and have done for over 2 years although i had a 2 year break between fills. She also does an x-ray fill as well.

I never had a problem with the fill Dr Chris gave me I just found that because he is so busy you didnt get time to chat much.

Hope this helps

Book for the last appointment of the day and you get more time (perhaps it just felt like it)

Frederick was brilliant the other day when I went to see him!

Take care Cx

Important to remember that the band is guranteed by Dr Chris and if you have fills eslewhere (my understanding) that the guarantee was null and defunct. Is this correct?

Yeah that's correct my consultant only offered the defills for emergency only because I have small babies, they tend to stop growing by a certain week so if I couldn't manage to eat for whatever reason and there was no clinic on, the hospital would do the defill instead. Not had any problem yet though, thankfully although for some reason I feel anxious about having an X-ray lol x

Thanks for that ladies - slightly worried now about puncturing!!!

Booked for Dr Chris's clinic at his house at 7:30pm in the evening.

Fingers crossed xxx

Didn't mean to worry anyone, I think those incidents happen when Dr Chris had a different fill doctor working for him. I am talking a couple of years ago. Dr Chris has given a lot of business to WLS because he is so busy so I think they are in a business agreement. plus they do really good packages which half the amount you spend on fills. every one is different and prefer different fill doctors I only wanted to share my experiences sorry.
