Hello all, having my lap band on on Monday 14th may and I'm so happy. I had my band put in 8 years ago in Lyon France, by dr Frering. I lost all the weight needed but had so many problems with fills, the worst was when they overfilled me and couldn't drink water. I had to travel 400 miles to get it unfilled!
When I lost the weight I looked good in clothes but the loose skin was terrible and I felt so ashamed. I think I also atrted with an eating disorder and was obsessed with my weight.
When I was pregnant with my daughter I had the fluid taken out but still had retriction. Since having her I've not been able to eat anything solid at all. I now live of chocolate, biscuits and soup and have put on half the weight lost. No healthy food will go down at all, I do try but always burp it back up. I should never have had the band, I feel that councilling would have helped. Not being able to eat out with friends and I'm deficient in vitamin D, it's been a hard ride. I'm craving fish now, so can't wait to eat a proper meal and hoping all goes well in my surgery.
Isn';t it amazing what we do so we can be thin, now I want to focus on healthy, thats all that matters.
Any tips or advice about the surgery would be great. xx
