Hi Everyone, its been ages since Ive been on here. Hope all are doing well on the weight loss journey.... Has for me Ive come to a stand still the weight just aint moving It seems its levelled off... Really need to get a fill as Ive had no restrictriction for the last few months now... i'm surprised I aint really put on has Ive been eating virtually what I like...:thumbdown: CW.

Sure is carriejess, Btw your looking Great are you @ goal weight yet? Edit: Sorry just seen your ticker.....well done Hun 8lbs left wohoo

Hello to everyone old & new, especially those who have recently been banded well done to you. The journeys a long and hard one, but well rewarding.. I feel Great that finally my weight loss has really started moving, restriction is a wonderfull thing. Takes a bit of getting use too after years of scoffing what I like. the only thing I hate about it is the Acid reflux I get some nights. I have a bin at the side of the bed just incase I need to spit out (sorry lol) but its getting much better now usually I can get a good nights rest. It's really Good&weird at the sametime everyday I look in the mirror Im beginning to see the old me or should I say the new me. People at work have really noticed the weight loss, on average I get 2 people everyday say "Wow whats happened to you" "Whats the secret" "Are you on the atkins" Etc I find it really strange lol but secretly loving it I feel my confidence growing stronger everyday.... Wish I had done the Op ages ago, Ive still got a way to go yet but it feels great being able to fit in some of my old clothes im glad I kept them lol.. 18stone 6lbs Today it feels GRRRRRRREAT finally being in the teens Thankyou Band. Keep up the fight guys it can take a while to get restriction it took me 3 months (Thankgod for the Wls Group aftercare Package) But when you finally get it then things start moving :thumbup: (Cw)

Congrats Bobo, a real inspiration for all of us well done m8 :Yawn:

Wow these threads move incredible fast.... I just thought i'd pop in and say a big "Hello" To everyone on this journey newbies & oldies :thumbup: The journeys a long one but where on our way to success, keep up the fight. Cw

Thanks Timeisnow It really is a great feeling having restriction takes a little getting use to but im Happy finally reached Lapband-Heaven lol...This is what ive been looking fwd to since my Op in Aprill.... I just hope it last for a weee bit before needing a top up. You to have done really well without restriction keep up the good work.... Cw

Hi frecks, I know how easy it is to overlook some posts this thread moves so fast lol..... It sounds like to me you need a defill thats way to tight:ohmy: Are you getting enough water in through the day? Im still able to eat most things.. I have a Actimel in the morning or weetabix.. for lunch just lots of salad Tuna or chicken... For dinner boiled Potato salad/veg with chicken or so...Trying really hard to get my protein in through the day. Your hardly eating frecks....get a small defill Asap. @ Homecare wendys just great aint she, so positive & very proffesional she def knows what she's doing, & never had any probs finding my port first time.:mad2:

4 fills in total Homecare, I thought i would need much more just glad its here at last... you'll be up next, dont worry It'll come.:mad2:

Wow not one reply, I guess no ones had restriction then?:sad: Well Ive finally got it I guess I felt something was different with the last fill and knew after 3days of liquids that it was here woohoo. Its gonna take some getting use too, being full on so little.. bring it on. Cw.

Hello Everyone just want to wish you guys who are having your Ops soon all the best,,,Dont worry to much your in good hands it will be over in a blink of the eye lol..... Just got another Question for all those of you who have,Restriction How soon after the fill did you realise you had proper restriction??? I had a fill with wendy last saturday & im just trying to work out if I have true restriction now or am i just swollen?? I cant eat to much at all could this be it finally the sweet spot lol.....I hope so. Whats your thoughts?

Aww What a cutie :wub::smile2:

Hi freckles, Just want to say Congrats to you & Family...

I always get that after a fill, usually wears off after a few days....

Hi mandy dont leave hun, try not to take it personal I think we've all had questions unanswered or over looked on here. Theres so many post sometimes its hard to keep up lol. We all need each others support on here & its just nice to know where not alone on this journey, I just tend to read more than post... It would be nice if this thread could be broken up into sections like, General chat - bags&brollys- etc... if you get my drift. I guess it would be like a forum within a forum but on dr Cdb paitents etc. @ Gary sorry to read of your probs m8, hang in there your a inspiration to me and many Gaz...hope it goes well for you this week with Dr C. Cw.

Hi all had my second fill on saturday, The first one with Wls with wendy the nurse.... What a lovely lady she is, I really do know what aftercare is now lol she took her time, I didnt feel at all rushed unlike (u know who ) glad I went with them now.. She only put a little in the band because she said the fluid was comming back up and didnt want to force it,,, is this normal??? Thanks Cw

Hello peeps, hope everyones well & doing fine best wishes to all who are being banded soon, & a welcome too all who's recently joined the site and thinking of having gastric band surgery... I haven't had a chance to read through all the previous pages but I just thought i'd mention, that the Wls have got a special offer on at the moment for aftercare. It's gone down in price from now to the end of july you can have 6months aftercare including fills for £275 originally £350 which I think is really good offer!! So ive paid up and will be going for a fill on 4th july this will be my second one, cant wait to feel some restriction at the moment I can stuff my face with anything lol...... Sorry if this has already been mentioned... Cw.

Welcome back westbourne glad things went well for you, your finally a bandster........ Try and take it easy!! Cw

Hi wishfull, not much weightloss so far around 10lbs....... We had a party for the little one the other week, and there was so much cakes & chocs left i just couldnt help me self lol :w00t: so put back on 3lbs.........:thumbup: but we'll get there Cw.

Hi Peeps, hope everyones well and doing fine.........So much previous posts to read lol, so ive cheated and just come to the end will catch up on those later. Anyway I had my first fill Today by fredrich in London,, blind me the size of that needle I almost fainted there and then lol,,, He put 3ml in the band I can tell I aint got hardly any restriction maybe its early days........But what a weird feeling when the fluids going in, It felt like I had something stuck in my throat....? btw it didnt hurt just an initial prick thats it really.. he said I should stay on liquids for two days but ive already had 2 chicken drumsticks lol How sick am I couldnt help me self!!! "Naughty Naughty" went down no probs though... Cw

Hi I was banded in belguim... Your in good hands with dr cdb you really dont need to worry to much,,after its done you'll wonder why you worried so much in the firs place, I guess its something we all do anyway lol.

I remeber Dr chris saying to me to refrain from doing sit ups etc for a month or so.......just to take it easy while the bodys recovering from the Op.

Congratulations to all you prebanders who have made the decision to get banded, im new to the band myself and dont regret it at all having it done, I realised I needed help and im so glad ive got it..... Also well done to all you new bandsters, welcome to the family..... Cw.

Hi westboure wow not long now for your Op time goes really fast... After operation you will have to take anti blood clotting injections in your stomache which they will show you how to do them... Quite simple really needle not that big I didn't feel it to be honest.. You'll be fine. CW
