Coco and Emerald Thank you both for getting in touch. My God, Coco, you are doing fantastically well, 62 lbs down. Emerald what problems are people having with after care? I did go to acs for a consultation last week but it was the gastric balloon I was interested in (anything to avoid surgery). The man I met was Polish and very nice. however he said that it was a collegue of his that actually did the surgery. The more I read I'm thinking that I will go back and discuss the lapband with him. I believe though that they are not doing any surgery until next year. Marge

hello anyone out there, It's taken me a week to find the Hi Ireland page again, I'm useless with computers. Anyway, has anyone had a band put in by the new surgeon at acs. I,m tired of dieting and gaining weight back again so I've been reading all I can about lapband. I want to do it but I'm so scared. My biggest fear is alergic reaction to the silicone does anyone know anything aboutthat. Also I've been reading about gastric balloons. If I do this I won't be telling anyone so all the help and encouragement from any of you will be very very welcome . Marge

Hello I've just joined this site and I'm trying to figure out how to send messages. I've been thinking of getting a band , fed up with trying to lose weight and constantly thinking about it. There are a few questions I'de like to ask if anyone can help. When you get the band does it become just a part of day to day life or are you always aware of it being there? Is the fill port visable or can you feel it under your skin Marge

Hello I don't know how to use this site I'm just testing:help:
