for Heliogast bandersters



Recommended Posts

I've had 5.5ml filled and at the moment I thinkit is too tight, I can hardly eat or drink. I have to wait another week before I get to see the doc.

Could you tell me what size the heliogast is, I have lost my card that I used to carry everywhere.

Just had mine fitted last week. It's a 10cc band so it will probably take a few fills to get good restriction.

Great ailbhe, congrats on your fitting, I think I had mine ftted by the same doc. I know I didn't have Dr Mignon.

How did you find it, did you enjoy your last supper?

Thanks for letting me know the size, I have no idea where my card went and my fill doc needed to know( I just realised I c ould have emailed Deirdre butlast time I did she didnt reply). At least I know that I still have some space for alterations. I was worried that I would get to capacity and still need more. Although at the mo that isn't an issue. I am not as tight as I was, thankfully but still tight enough to get a good restriction.

Hi guys

I was also banded by Dr De bryne on 11th jan 08 and have the heliogast band too. I only have 3.75mls in my band. I do not feel much restriction. I can eat half of what I ate before but this is probably a normal portion!!lol. Going for another fill on 20th march and hopefully this will take me to 1 "cup" like i am supposed to be having!!

Sending you a huge virtual hug Honey. It is different for us all. Some can go with no fill at all and others really push their band to it's limit. I often wonder why that is.

Lets hope you will feel a good restriction with your next fill. I think I may be going for another fill in the next month, I've started eating more than I did. Mind you I hardly ate anything for a month, so anything is more than that lol. I am just going to have to pay attention to what I am eating, then I will have a clearer idea.

Wishing you all the best

Due to have my first fill on the 17th of April. Did any one have a lot of pain after a fill? I know I sound like a cry baby...because I am!

I had my band on the 5th of March, I still have a hard time sleeping on the left side where the port is located.

Does anyone else have strange feeling where the port is located?

feel's like I have pulled something...

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
