Travel to UK: are there known LapBand docs?
pipersfour replied to AtheistQueen's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Hi i have just got back from visiting family in England i had a adjustment 2 weeks before i went they took more out because of the flying making the band tighter i tried looking for dr's in my mums area the only ones i could find were in private hospitals whaich to use in England are expensive if you are having some fluid taken out of your band everything should be fine i was worried before i went but i followed everything my pa told me so good luck have a great trip -
I have ZERO restriction now...

I was told not to eat anything before ,during or after the flight and that i was to just have liquids because the altitude could tighten the band i had my fill over a week ago they wanted to give time for the swelling to go down incase i needed some liquid taking out so i am really looking forward to coming home so i can have another fill as i am really nervous about gaining the weight as i don't have any restriction -

I had my 1st fill just over a week ago now i seem to be more hungry they only put 1cc in this time so now i have the 2 cc total in a 10cc band they didn't want to put to much in as i will be flying next week and they didn't want the band to be too tight i am worried now as i was doing really well i had lost 36lb now i am worried incase i start gaining again while i am on my trip my next fill isn't until march 26 is there any advice any one can give me -
Hi Pipers
I have been stuck at the same weight for a while now. At least I am not gaining. (that's what I tell myself at least) I didn't get burps, but when I eat too much, I get a random hickup sensation. I was filled with 3 cc, and feel no restriction at all. I am going un later today for another fill, but I'm not sure how much he is going to put in. It has been really hard on me trying to stick to the eating plan with no restriction.

Hi Amanda
Just thought i would drop by and see how your doing ? i went for my first fill today not much of one but i am sure it will help so i now have about 2cc they didn't put the 4 cc in because i am going to England in 2 weeks and they are just making sure i won't have any trouble when i am therer then i have to go back the day after i get back i am still losing the weight which is good i am now down 35lbs
i have a question when you had your fill did you get gas all i have done since i got home is burp i hope you don't mind me asking take care keep up the good work and stay strong -
Just wanted to say hello and see how you are doing ? have you already had your surgery? if not when is your date? would love to hear from you

Hello Pipersfour. I'm glad you said hi. I was banded on 12/29, the same as you. I have lost a total of 21 lbs so far. The last week and a half with no loss
I have my first fill scheduled for 2/10, and my doctor said until then to SLOWLY add normal food into my diet and keep a log about how I handle the different foods. Along with the normal cottage cheese and yogurt ect..., I have been able to eat all kinds of soups, really mushy noodles and tomato sauce, and even once a bean and cheese burrito. I have been really careful to chew and chew my food to make sure everything is really mushy before it goes down, and so far no problems. I think at this stage chewing is the key thing to learn. I often just want to swallow after 5 chomps. I hope you write back and let me know how you are doing. Talk to you soon.
