  1. Thats really wonderful! And its nice to talk to someone who is nearby and going through the same as me. I hope you have a good meeting with Dr Gabi! Take care

  2. Hi there, I have another appointment with Dr. Gabby today to get some more information. My friend who is a local emirati is joining me as she wants to have the lap done so we will support each other. Will keep you posted and I might need your help with regards to protein shakes and where did you manage to get your healthy shopping from. talk soon

  3. The selling point for me was that this is nor permanent. Whereas other methods are and you need to look at what you specifically need. I have been wondering if I should have it removed, but I love my band and the fact that it keeps me reminded how to eat properly.

    All the best to you! Please let me know how your journey treats you!

  4. Hi there

    Thank you for your message..

    If I could recommend any doctor, it will be Dr Gabi Wazz!! He was my surgeon and I love going back for my check-ups. he is amazing and I have not had any problems with my band since day one! I had the band done on at 107kg on March 25th 2010 and today I am a much skinnier 57kg's. I have reached my goal with this ama...

    Some questions to other bandsters

    Great to hear that there are other soup-lovers! I live in Dubai and always trying to find new restaurants with great soup. I even came up with my own recipes and create lovely soups. Some are broth based, some creamy, some cheesy. I just love it. Would be nice if some people can share some recipes I would love to try something new. :-)

    Some questions to other bandsters

    Thank you for the great replies so far. I think I might be too tight and will have it checked out at my next check-up with the doctor..
  7. Hi All I have read this discussion forum before and finally decided to join! I have also had my lapband done in March 2010. Just had my first anniversary and have lost 32kgs. I have about another 15kg to go to reach my goal. Through this whole journey I have had some ups and downs but the weight kept melting away so I never bothered with small issues. If someone can help me on the few issues I have: 1. I can eat almost anything, my restriction is great and it really lets me eat few forkfulls and then I am satisfied, but the problem is, anything sweet (cakes, puddings, candy, chocoloate, fuge etc) this I can eat with no problem and I dont feel the same restriction as when I eat something like a salad. What can this be? Maybe the sugar content lets the biteful slide through the band? I dont know, I have been confused about this one.. 2. Some days I feel that I can get away with eating lets say a sandwich, then a week after I try the exact same thing again, and it gets stuck! Is it true that your band can be tighter at times?? 3. Because of the restriction my band gives, I have found that eating Soup is much better for me than anything else, where I stand the risk of it getting stuck. Now, I dont know if my stuck-experiences are the same as others or if it really is a stuck episode. I just know, when I eat a big bite, chew, and swallow the whole bite, it feels like something is ripping on my kidney, the pain feels like it is in my back, I dont feel the pain where I feel my band. I can also not breath easily and and quickly off to the loo to vomit it out. is this food getting stuck? So anyway, soup has become my best friend. I cook a big pot over the weekend and freeze them into small containers which I take to work everyday for lunch. Now, here I am very naughty, cause I make lovely soup, but I adore cheese and cream so I add both to my soup to enhance the flavour. I would hate to eat a horribly bland soup, cause then I would end up eating all kinds of sugars and chips. Does anyone else eat creamy cheesy Soups? I love my band, and I adore my doctor and I just love the fact that I have lost all this weight. I hope to get in touch with many people on here and share some experiences. Take care Tess
