Hi . I was banded at Emirates Hospital in Duabi March 6 this year however I live in Abu Dhabi.

LIke you I am doing most of my research post operation. Loss was 10 kg in first 6 weeks but slowed up since then.

Bigger fill on MOnday just gone so I have had the challenge of discomfort and unable to keep anything down. The inability to keep anything down was certainly more than a little scary.

The surgeon saw me the same day inspite of just ringing for advice as to how long I should leave it before returning to see him in Dubai. He immediately slotted me into his day.. and a trip to Dubai resulted in .5cc out and all is well. I was very very impressed with the responsiveness to my concerns.

I have followed up with fluids for the last few days and today tried scrambled eggs and yoghurt. I can get only a few tablespoons down before feeling uncomfortable but looking forward to the weight moving again.

HAng in there....The first two months were definetely the most difficult. Things do improve.
