Hi Everyone.
Got back from Paris and Jerome, what a guy.
I didn't only get my band changed to the newest one on the market, he managed to pick me up from the bus and bring me on a sight seeing tour. This guy has more charisma in his little finger than all the surgeons in Ireland put together. I would strongly recommend him to anyone thinking of having the band done.
So its almost a month since I had it done and I'm 13 lbs down I cant believe it. I was banded for the first time in acs just 12 months ago and had only lost 14 lbs for the whole year, so you can imagine how thrilled I am, and Paris is only a hour and ten mins from Dublin,over and back the same day. Glad Flirty lass you are happy and doing well hope you have great restriction and the pounds start dropping. I didn't see the article on BBC, wish I had, but I would still go and have it done again.
TERRY hows it going you still got great restriction, like I said I'm doing great just loosing the way I want steady and slow. Have you lost much since our trip to Paris? looking forward to seeing you soon again.
Gerri: you are doing amazing keep it up.
Lil: good to hear from you, is wella123 back yet? We will talk soon .
Coco: glad your back from the hols and you almost at your goal, way to go. Keep giving advise there's a lot of us struggling and really appreciate your words of wisdom.
Lollkeen. I'm afraid we've all been down this road with acs. There's not much we can do we've been ripped off by them. You can either let it fester or just cut your losses, and get on with the rest of your life. I payed 10k as well, just 12 Mt's ago and had the bloody thing ripped out a month ago. Find your self a good fill doc, don't be angry with the band its there to help you, so chin up and start loosing those pounds.
Ailbe isn't it great to see the sizes dropping it will be a long time till I need to buy clothes. I have them from a size 16 to 28 and I have a Sister that is a dab hand with the machine. Maybe that's the way to go, find a dress maker to take in your clothes, it would be a lot cheaper than buying new ones.
Angie: hows it going I see by your weight loss we are loosing about the same, we were banded about the same time, I was the 15 of Sep keep up the good work and keep posting.
I better stop now this is longer than I thought it would be, talk soon love Roe
