wishfull

Hi tee-bird well done on your weight loss so far.. i think i lost about 8lbs in total over the 2 weeks, you have made a good start, keep it up x

Hi suefee, you are in hospital till the day after your op then dr chris askes you to stay in belgium till the next day then your free to go home x

Hi suefee, our flight time home was stupid o'clock in the morning.. it was hard going if im honest, i wasnt really in pain its just that i was so hot and felt faint, i asked for a wheel chair at the airport and then a porter took me and my partner straight through, didnt have to queue to check in or anything.. so if you dont feel to good ask for one, the staff at the airport were great x

Hi all, any one heard from fatpants? hope she is doing ok x

Hi sammy, what a holiday you would have.. cocktails and ice cream mmmmmmmm. I have got more restriction this time and struggle a lot more with foods but still need more in, its going to be a long wait till june till my next fill so i'll have to turn to the will power again lol x

Hi suefee i think its all going to be trial and error as we have all used different medications and would recommend different, i used nurofen melts and found they worked well for me, i still use them if i need to take a pain killer.. like sammy i had my dissolving stitches taken out as they seem to take ages to disolve. I bought dressings from boots and when i went to see the nurse at the dr's surgery the nurse gave me a load of dressings but they made me come out in a rash and itch like mad, just ask away if there is anything else... we have all been in your position x

Hi suefee, welcome to the forum, we are all here to help eachother any way we can, you are bound to be worried but once you have had your surgery you will wonder why. I am so glad i had my band and glad i decided to go with dr chris, im sure all the other post bandsters will say the same about there bands, i havnt come across any one who wished they hadnt had it fitted x

Hi all, i have just spent ages reading all the past posts.. im up tp date with them all now. Welcome to all the new one's.. im sure you have read it but you wont regret going with dr chris and his team, they are all great, staff at the hospital are fab. Hi freckles i didnt put my plan into action.. i just asked him to check how much i had in my band as my restriction was less than what it was before my 2nd fill, i should of had 5ml in but only had 4ml so he put in 1 1/2 ml in for me.. my restriction is better but still not brilliant, just got to wait till i go in june. Glad your mum has been moved and hope things will keep improving for her x

lol i did see it, iv got loads to read but signing off for now, catch you all soon x

Hi sammy how are you doing after your fill? it was nice to meet you and your mum and your baby is absolutely gorgeous x

Hi everyone hope your all doing well.. it's going to take me days to read all the pages i have missed out, i still havnt had the lap top repaired it will take about another 2 weeks.. we go away 2 weeks today so i'll have to wait till i get back for it, we have just turned the spare room into an office and set up the old comp we had. Im doing ok and restriction is better than what it was but im going to miss next months...iv got my app for june booked tho x

Kerry, but i dont mind wishfull.. god we would have some looks, me coming in saying "hi freckles" and you "hi wishfull" lol x

Hi mmm hope you have a lovely break.. you will have some catching up to do with reading the post's when you get back lol x

O freckles 2lb isnt a lot but understand you must feel peed off with it, i know i would. Fingers crossed once you get your fill it will come off and lots more lol x

Hi mandy, i have to agree with gillian and bobobaldy.. the surgeons over here are obviously taking advantage of people who are desperate and would do anything as a last resort with there weight, my dr like gillians was made up for me and gave me her blessing (she had heard about dr chris), the staff over there are 2nd to none.. the hospital so much cleaner than ours not to mention a couple of thousand cheaper, I would not pay the prices for surgery over here when you can save yourself a lot of money x

i dont eat any skin from fruit, im ok with potatoes but not good with crisps, just shows how different we all are x

lol, i find im ok with pasta but not with rice x

I dont think i will eat bread again, i have tried it a couple of times but it got stuck and hurt so much.. im to scared to give it another go, think your brave gillian lol x

Hi tanyac my weight loss so far is 2 stone since jan, it hasnt moved for a while so i hope after my fill tomorrow it will start moving again, fingerscrossed. x

Hi shoes im like you i cant eat any kind of bread what so ever.. this feeling you are getting could be your restriction or they may not of been gentle taking the tube out of your throat and that is causing the discomfort, if it doesnt improve over the next week it may be worth emailing dr chris, peace of mind if nothing else.. i couldnt eat much for the 1st month or so and stayed on liquids and mush. i had more restriction before and after my 1st fill then nothing after my 2nd, i have my 3rd tomorrow so i'll see how i get on after that one, just hope i get a decent amount put in. x

Morning freckles you were missed y/day, hope your ok.. you ready for your fill tomorrow x

Hi sammy, i cant remember what time your app is with frederik tomorrow but i might bump into you.. also freckles is going tomorrow so we might all meet up, have a good trip x

Hi carriejess i was thinking about joggin myself but think it will be to much at the min lol,im going to have to start with us trying to get fit to do the run for life next year.. even tho i have got loads more energy now, but hope if i loose more weight it will be easier to run.. i live in the countryside and wouldnt really be seen(except by sheep) when i do start. How much weight have you lost so far? x

HELP is needed.. what is the difference between cc and ml? i have been reading some people saying they have ?cc in there band.. i have 5ml in my band, can any one explain please.. sorry a cant be bothered to get my paper work out lol x

I have had terrible wind since having my band, everyday i have had to take something to ease it as i was getting awful pain in my shoulder BUT the last couple of days i have eaten a little bit more and hey presto NO WIND, i was on liquids only during the day and having a healthy meal in the eve.. i obviously wasnt eating enough x
