Hi thanks for ur replies no they didnt ask about my eating habbits ithnk they just wanted my and every ones money i thnk it was a bit of a roll on roll off belt i was opperated on at 12 MIDNIGHT ON A SAT NIGHT had been waiting scince 3PM that afternoon Then they forgot to take my bloods then when nurses asked me to get dressed to go home 6 hrs later at 7am they were puzzled why i every time tried to stand i kept passing out after being held down by 2 doctors to have a tube up my nose down to my throat to get the air out pf my very bloated tummy what agony when ur gaggig after surgery 10hrs prev then a due to not beenable to manage with out oxygen for 4 day they thoght i had suspected blood clot on my lungs then i had specilist do heart scan when he cheked my notes it was him that picked up my blood count down to 6 nstead 12 so i had 3 units of blood rushed into me. ALL THAT UNESSARY 4DAYS OF WORRY AND PAIN BEFOE I COULD I COULD STAND to lesve hospital I have scince been told the band isnt MUCH HELP FOR NIBBELERS:sad:

:rolleyes2:yes i do still eat a lot of the wrong foods i have never really eaten big meals just nibbleld constantly and usually sweet things :thumbup: thats why i had the op my willpower is terrible when i fist had the op these cravings eased. I have spoken to a sugeon recently and he was the one who said I should have been told the expected weight loss is usully 50% of your exess weight and that I would have to do the rest myself with will power but iwonderd how tight I can safely go :sad: should i have other fills very gradually I had been taking 2 omprazoles ant/acid and still had heart burn and tightness in my throat now after a defill im back down to one tablet a day how many tabs does ever one else take x
