hello juile nice to hear from you again. I am doing well the weight is flying off. I think you lose loads of weight at the start don't you! i agree with you though i don't know this tulia women from france. Bridget from europesurgery.co.uk is really helpful always on the other end of the phone when you need her. I callled her at 9pm the other night and she still answered the phone and helped me with what to eat. I was really impressed with the service in general. when i got to brussels it all ran smoothy. such nice nurses and hospital staff. really i did not feel to bad at all after the operation.when i was there there were other people from the Uk to talk to< it was a shame we did not meet, but its been very nice chatting to you on here and hearing how you got on :biggrin:

hi all how much weight have you lost up to now jane,glad its all going well my weight loss has slowed down,think i need a fill now,and as for tulia law i hope no one ever goes with her she is the worst person in the world and has ruined a lot of peep experience of the band:thumbup:

I am doing well as well! i am sure the first month is the hardest. did the liquid only diet for the first 10 days then i was on to mushed up food like a 2 year old yum yum:tongue_smilie:but anyway i just don't care its worth it just to lose the weight.

hello Happy Flower - eeek! Well done you and thanks for update - how much have you lost now chicken? So glad it went so smoothly for you! x:thumbup:

hello i have lost nearly half a stone, i am pleased with that> i don't want to lose it too quick cos i reaction i will get strenth marks everywhere, and i would hate that. you know to lose the weight be feel like your body is a total mess afterwards! half a stome in about 4 weeks i think is great, if i keep going like that it would be fanastic but i guess maybe its quick at the start and then slows down. i am not sure really but i have not had a fill yet and i guess they help too

hello i want to be skinny, i really like your frog lol!! does it move as you lose the weight? what a lovely idea maybe i should get a pet frog or something like that on mine too! i have to work out how you do it!XXx

bridget really nice just give her a call whenever your worried about anything.

I have nearly lost a stone:rolleyes:cool isn't it? i was thinking maybe the first 6 weeks is the easist to loss the weight in a way because you only have liquid for the first 10 days and then i have found i can only eat a small amount. I have not had a fill yet and i am starting to find i can get more. so thinking i should go for one soon!

hi if your going to london for the band fills i could meet you there, it would be good to chat and catch up. You are doing very well !!:rolleyes2:

yes i booked with europesurgery and got the package it sounds like as long as you don't go with tulia law your alright. well done girls for all your weight loss. i must admit i think i been naughty i keep eating chocs and it is coming off, but i really must stop that. its silly of me really i have paid so much for the band and i am breaking the rules. I think chocolate is my down fall!
