Hi Debbie

Thanks for that I will give it a go. Not been on here for ages. How are you doing?? How was your 1st fill. Found mine was ok, he put 4.5cc in. I was a bit worried at the time because it seemed a lot and was only 2 days befor I went on holiday but all has been fine ...had a few "stuck" episodes but got thru them ok. Feeling now tho like not much restriction. How is your weight coming off, mine is far slower than I had hoped for. Up to 18 and a 1/2 pounds now.....but 10 of that was in the first week. Kevin on here has done about 70!!! Now thats amazing. I eat soooo much less than I did befor but its just not moving much. Think need to book a fill for sept sometime. Hope to hear from you soon and that all is well with you. Georgina xx

Hey Georgina.....XXX

So good to here from you.... Yeh i tend to spend most of my time on the above site, its alot more useful.

I am doing alright, my first fill went ok had great restriction the first week, but like you now not got much although eating alot less and do get full quite quickly but unfortuntatly i'm hungry quite quickly too.

Like you i am gonna go for another fill in september, go to las vegas next week so hoping the band will be ok on the 10 hour flight...!

I've lost about 16lb but i think that is my doing as i've been eating healthy and not the band. I know it can take some time to get the right restriction but i am feeling a bit frustrated cause i want to weight to start moving...

Anyway, try catch me on the other site (user same as this one). Or i'll catch up with you on this site, pls stay in touch.

LOL yeh was very weird, was just thinking how you were doing as well.......

Yes log on to the other site because you will find alot of people in the same boat its quite liberating to see that we are all HUNGRY......lol....

Georgina, have you got any ideas where you are gonna go for your next fill....??? How did you find the hospital in orpington...??

My name is Dianne I am from Northampton in the Uk and dont have many friends here that are banded.

I celebrated my first year on monday 25th August and was thrilled to think that I had worked so hard to achieve the weight loss I had only ever dreamed off in the past.

I am also on msn and yahoo messenger and wondered if you ladies would like to ever chat on there?

I have pictures on the forum and wondered if you would like to look and see and tell me what you think of them.

It is great to meet new people on the internet and would like to maybe start a group up in the Uk for us to meet maybe once a month for a chat and catch up.... what do you think.

May I ask were abouts in the Uk you are all from?

hope to hear from you soon take care Dianne:tt2:

Hi Dianne,

You have done SO well. I am only 6 weeks out from my band, and I hope that i can match your weight loss. My surgeon told me that i would only lose 5 stone, but I am determined to prove him wrong. I was 22 stone to start with, so as you can see, 5 stone is neither here nor there. I am in East sussex. Are you on any other site. www.wlsfriends.co.uk is good. Loads from all over country and great support. Give it a try.

I have tried for the second time to register on this site. It seems impossible. There is no 'Contact' link for those with problems. On entering the code to register, it just says 'you are not authorised to use this'. Very annoying.

Hello

It is so good to hear from you andI hope you loose the weight you want I have found it better to walk more each day and that I think is what helped me loose so much weight.

If you would like to talk on msn please use my email rouse235@hotmail.com would be good to chat on there.

many thanksDianne:thumbup:
