wishfull

Hi homecare we are staying in inverness.. going 3rd week of july. Freckles im not clever enough to put tickers on BUT i will have a play about and see if i can do it x

10 days after surgery you have them taken out.. i actually had my dissolving stitches taken out as they were taking so long to go and they were irritating x

Lol. iv got loads more energy now the weight is coming off, we even managed 2 summits, i was so made up cos i dont think i would of or could of done that 6 months ago, i did hope i would of lost a bit more than what i did but 2lb is better than nothing.. we are going up scotland in july on another walking holiday x

Hi timeisnow i didnt bother with getting travel insurance we just used what was free through the bank.. my dr was and is very supportive and was sorry i had to go abroad for a band, iv got the support of the dietitian if i want it.. what will happen with your dr's surgery when you need to go and have your stitches out? just because your dr doesnt agree with something surely by law he cant turn you away.. being honest he doesnt sound like a good g.p. Hope your not feeling down about it all.. you will be in great hands with dr chris x

Ha ha your so right flirty, it was bloody hard work walking up the mountains lol, we walked between 5-7 hours a day x

Well done on your weight loss bobobaldy, bet your really made up, i have lost another 2lb thats 32lb all together.. i think it was all that walking last week that has helped a lot x

Lol at 25 i had had my 3 kids and truthfully i wouldnt of changed anything about the age i had them.. im 41 and my time is my own.. well till the baby is born that is lol. but everyone is different. How did you get on with talking to dr chris about your tummy tuck x

Hi sammy nice to hear your back and on the mend and doing well with your band x

U 2 at it again lol x

Thanku everyone for your msgs, your right homecare i am going to be a young nian, young enough to enjoy it, i was young having my children.. my daughter is almost 19 and she is my baby x ps i cant eat bananas.. i find them hard to digest, shame really cos i do like them x

Hi all, Welcome to all the newbies and well done to the one's who have jusr been banded, it has taken me ages to read all the posts.. you can't all talk lol. I had a lovely time in the lakes done loads of walking/hiking, weather was good all week except friday. I found out tuesday my daughter is expecting, after the shock im really happy and allready been out buying, she's only 7wks lol xx

Good luck to every 1 who is going to belgium this next week... and to you flirty hope you get a good fill, i'll catch up with you all when i'm back from the lakes x

You and me both gary, im away next week so cant get a fill till june either.. hope my will power will last till then lol x

Thanks for reply's, i do feel a bit better now, i could't get an appointment with the dr but did manage to speak to her on the phone line.. im going for a blood test when i come back from holiday, she said to carry on with the vitamins and eating what i am and said she thinks its normal and should stop soon, my hair is only fine but a lot of it.. well there was till it started to fall out x

Hi jackiem, welcome to the forum.. i think you are probably going to be getting banded by the best or 1 of the best surgeons in the bands, dr chris and his team are all very experienced, i paid just for the band and then booked hotel, flights separate, the hotel campanile is about 20 min walk or just a couple of mins in the taxi, once you have paid for your band,hotel ect there is no hidden extras, good luck to you x ps any ?s just ask someone will try an answer you x

Dont think im moulting :thumbsup:, i know every one loses so many hairs a day but this is a lot more than normal.. enough for me to get checked out by the dr put it that way :grouphug:, im going to go to boots later and get some of the tablets freckles takes and fingers crossed that will help, anything is worth a try x

Hi freckles glad your mum has settled in the nursing home.. bet thats a of weight off your mind. Im sure your band is ok and after your next fill you should be able to feel some restriction, i bet its harder for you as you have stopped smoking the same time as trying to lose weight, both are really hard to do so you are doing really well really.. but i understand why you are worried as it has happened to you with your other band x

Iv got to phone the surgery in the morn to see if i can get appointment tomorrow with the dr, if not it will be next week but im going to be away, i explained to receptionist about my band and she said id need to see the dr before the dietitian, .. i'll either come back bald or just wont be able to wash my hair all week lol x

Any tips or advice wanted!!!! when i wash my hair it seems to be falling out, more than it normally does.. im still taking my multivitamins every day, eat veg every day so i don't know what else i should be doing, i cant believe it really as i was only saying last week how important it is to take you vitamins so your hair doesn't fall out. Think i'll be making a visit to the dietitian at the dr's surgery x

Hi moneyp i didnt bother with any insurance and i dont know anyone who did, i havnt read on here anyone using it x

GOODLUCK mandy even tho you wont need it.. you will soon be on here posting your good news to all the others who are going for there ops soon, take care x

WOW that is expensive, ask dr chris how much his tt will be and what the waiting time would be, Dont be hasty tho cos you may get it for free and might not have to wait to long, i didnt have to wait long to get breast reduction on NHS x

Hi odgemodge since i had my band fitted i havn't been able to drink fizzy drinks at all, i like southern comfort and lemonade but have to let it go flat before i can drink it and i dont like wine so thats out, we are all different and you may be ok with fizzy drinks, its all trial and error x

Hey flirty well done on your weight loss you have done fantastic, fingers crossed one of the dr's will offer to do the surgery for you, you will have to keep us posted x

Good tip bobobaldy i'll try that next time, well i hope there wont be a next time lol but im sure there will x
