Hi Skinny! Thats a good one!! im also knock-kneed and never where trousers, or shorts. So getting into a pair of trousers is another one to add onto my list. Ive not worn trousers in public for over 13 yrs:ohmy:

thats what im talking about lol

LOL LOL! Now this is funny!!! and you didnt notice, walking lopsided??? lol lol lol lol lol

Okay, Okay, it all "finally" makes sense now... I never looked at it this way before: MEN-tal illness MEN-strual cramps MEN-tal breakdown MEN-opause GUY-nocologist AND When we have REAL trouble, it's a HIS-terectomy. Ever notice how all of women's problems start with MEN? lol lol:biggrin::eek:

Hi all! This question is for people that had their lapband done on the NHS especially if it was done in london. 1. How long did you have to wait from the inititial referral from your gp to see the consultant. 2. How long did you have to wait from seeing the consultant to getting the operation. 3. Did you have to do a six month supervised diet thing, or be told to loose weight before they operated> Thanks

Lol this made me laugh....! lol lol i think im with you, if the hair is gonna be yanked out, i would rather it in one go as well, or at least in as few yanks as possible lol lol

Hey!! lol you funny, i should start my own show, goodness know's i have so much to talk about lol lol Thats what i love about this site, you have people from the start of thinking about banding right to the very end to show them that it can be done, and you got to goal in just 10 months!!! (((claps for Frangipani)))) Stay tuned for the next edition of the GG show!!! Look after yourselves and each other LOL LOL!!!

its a pleasure hun, anything i can do to help. Good luck to you also with your weight loss journey xxx

Hey Hun, Just wanted to say welcome to the forum, i have found it to be a great support. Im havent been banded yet, i should be around sept time and cant w8!! Well done on your loss, i think in the uk forum there is a list of fill doctors. I know the surgeon who will be doing my procedure does fill in dublin: The Dublin Consultation Address Dr Forquet Dame Street Medical Centre 16 Dame Street Dublin 2 Telephone: 0044 2070 60 1954 Email: info@obesity-solutions.co.uk

You go girl!!! Those red checks will be on each one of those, before you know it!!:thumbup:

I find m the total opposite, and my appetite goes, i think its because i get such cramps and really bad pain, food is the last thing on my mind. You siad that you were able to eat without feeling full, maybe you might need a fill?

Congrats on getting banded hun, i would say try and take it easy after you have had the op. You have still had surgery even thought it may of benn done through keyhole...surgery is surgery. Try and get back into your routine slowly. Glad you are feeling much better!!

thats is a great loss!! WELL DONE!!

I think its really good the way they do the procedure, and with no scars on the actual breasts! excellent, how much more does the procedure cost to be done like this? does it take longer than if they were to insert them through an incision on the breast? Is there an actual name for the way that it is done?

Thats a great attitude to have, after all its your body! You worked hard to get where you are, and as long as you are happy, nobody else matters! I also like the idea of the procedure being done through the armpits so there is no scaring, i take it they have to be filled through a port of somesort? Prob a stupid question, but do they leave behind the port in your armpit??

well done on passing with flying colours, just need to start your count down till next fri! woooooooooo!!!

CONGRATS HUN!!! i wish you all the best with your surgery, if you are worried about the language barrier couldnt you talk to the hospital to get some reassurance. Ive been over the germany before and i must say they speak better english than what i do (and i live in england)!! lol

Thats not bad at all, i just hope the waiting time is the same in london, the doc actually referred me to three hospitals, so hopefully i should hear back sooner rather than later. the consultation seems pretty straight forward, did they ask you to loose any weight before surgery...? Anyways im gonna send you a PM im hijacking the waxing thread for myself lol lol

Hey! I didnt know that you could pick the hospital!! Thats really good! I really do hope that the appointment with the consultant comes through before sept, i think 4 months is more than enough time to wait to for an appointment letter. Fingers crossed the appointment comes through before sept, if the waiting list is under a yr, i will wait. what kinda things do they ask you at the surgical evaluation? and how long did you have to wait for teh initial referral from your doc to get an appointment?

My situation is a little complicated...i am trying to get it done on the nhs, and am waiting for a date to see the consultant (after my doc reluctanly referred me, literally had to fight for it:but thats a whole other story!), in talking to other people who have had it done on the nhs, i could be put on a waiting list for up to three years!! So in the meantime while im waiting for the nhsappointment, ive seen a private consultant and have booked the op for sept 1st. So between now and then if i see the nhs consultant and he gives me good news and the waiting list isnt so bad i will cancel the private op. Im just praying that the list isnt that long!! but either way im getting it done, hopefully sooner rather than later :thumbup: Did you self pay or nhs? How you feeling?....next week will be here in no time!!

Thanks Kiki Very imformative!!! just saw you from the UK also....wooooo! lol

:thumbup:Well done on passing!!! wooooooooo
