Hi I was also banded 2/11, have not weighed myself yet but i think i have lost a few pounds. I find Fiber supplements added to everything really helps me. and low calorie rice pudding with mushed fruit fills me up for hours. 10 calorie jelly is a great snack to. it takes me 1 hour or more to drink a slim fast shake so i usually have half for Breakfast and half for dinner. and anyone with a upset stomach/indigestion,bloating should try Bio yoghurt it works straight away for me. keep up the good work guys.

Hi Everyone! I was banded Monday 11 Feb to. The air has been a problem to my left shoulder but yes walking helps and since last night it seems to have vanished. Hiccups are still a problem especially after i have eaten. just getting back on my feet now and feeling much better following the op. jennie Good Luck Guys Jennie

Hi Banded 11th feb. I don't know if this is common but i also have gone of coffee and tea. cannot stand the smell of it either, and tea i just don't think about any more. its just boiled water for me.

Hi Everyone! I was banded Monday 11 Feb was told: 1st week Clear liquids, 2nd week thicker liquids, 3rd week mashed food with liquids, 4th-7th week introduce normal food but take it easy/slowly. Had operation in Belgium and i has taken me till now to get back to myself. But feeling much better now i think traveling home to England the day after operation was a very stupid idea especially as the train service in the UK is notoriously crap and we had delays over 3 hours getting home on a bus as the train broke down. I would recommend anyone getting the op, to stay in hospital or a good local hotel for a few days after the operation to recover and heal. Good Luck Guys Jennie

Hi Donna Can I please have some info from you i am thinking of Belgium. what hospital did you go to and what surgeon...etc Regards Jennie

Hi Im jennie from north england, Im looking into lap band surgery in Europe because of the high prices in the Uk. Has anyone any advice to offer? I've been in touch with Belgium and prague Belgium is closer has a better rep but only offer fill up and aftercare in london 6 hours away from me. Prague i know little about the hospital but if offers fill ups and aftercare just 1 hour away in Newcastle and is also a little cheaper. Has anyone been to Prague, Belgium or anywhere in Europe for surgery. Thank's Jennie

Hi I also think UK is to expensive im in England/North and ive been in touch with hospitals in Belgium and Prague. But i do not know much about either. ive ben offered appointment in Belgium in feb but the after care is in London 6 hours away? if i go with prague i can get follow up appointments 1 hour away in Newcastle. Belgium has the better reputation. Its all confusing Jen
