Hi all

Am a newbie here from Dublin - but there doesn't seem to be ever anyone on the Ireland one so hope ye don't mind my joining ye here:blush:

Have my consult with Dr Marc Focquet on the 7th June and hoping I can also get banded in June in Belgium - can't afford it here €15,000 were the quotes - crazy!!

Just a few questions:

How do you feel afterward - need to travel alone as hubbie is away?

Can you drink - been irish this is a very important question!

Can you drink fizzy drinks?

Is the solution to losing weight quicker to not eat solids, ie to keep getting fills ?

Thanks in advance for your repies

Hi,

I can't answer your questions as I'm yet to be banded and I'm asking the same things as you, just wanted to say "hi" and let you know that I've only been a member here since yesterday, but sooooooo many people have reassured me already!!

Well Hi Kerri, we can be banded buddies.

When and where are you hoping to get yours, the UK would be handier for me also but Belgium is coming in way cheaper

I'm booked in for a consultaion in June and hopefully having op in September as I'm on holiday in August and don't fancy risking being taken ill in Turkey and I can't get insurance either. Im having consultation in Leeds with "why go abroad", which is owned by the Hospital Group...which has got rather slated on here due to the aftercare. The package with WGA is £4950, and basically has only a 28 day aftercare package and you have to pay for the fills yourself, but financially thats better for me, I am abit concerned about no aftercare or support but I know a few people that have had it and theres places like this so hopefully I will manage ok, and like all the books say, "the band only does 30% of the work", so I have to have got that strength and will power within me, and I am subborn so am determind to prove everyone wrong that thinks I will fail!!
