Recommended Posts

Hi I´m looking to get banded in January and I was so happy to find thid forum. I hope I can get some advise and tips from all of you who have done the band or are getting it.

I have been thinking should I get banded or should I go for gastric bypass. But now I think I´ll go with the band.

I would love imput on prices and If you have been to Belgium then I would love to hear of your experience there.

hope to be getting slimmer with you all soon ....

Hi & welcome to the forum,when in January are you hoping to get banded? im getting banded 21st January, Derby hospital UK,

Where are you from ?

I have heard its about £3-5000 in Belgium, Im getting mine done through the NHS, have you tried this way? If you are in the UK,

I've waited 5 months from day 1 to the surgery date, which is very good in my opinion

Let us know what your out come will be..good luck on your journey

Hi Debbie 7155

No I´m not in the UK but I have been waiting here in Norway for 16 months now and I have been placed in several programs where diet and exersice is the main focus.

My problem is that I have a lower back problem that is killing me and all those program I´ve been put in have had to be stopped due to my backproblems. This is a problem that has been with me since childhood but went increasingly back when I started playing soccer at the age of 10. Now I´m tierd of the wait and looking to get mine done in January.

so any tips are most welcome

Thorunn

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
