wishfull

I think iv tried everything except remegel, i'll go down the chemist and get some, anything is worth a try x

Yeh it does, i thought the pain was to do with me breaking my collar bone years ago.. no such look. I have e-mailed frederik to ask if there is a reason for it, its everyday im getting trapped wind and nearly every eve that i get the pain in my shoulder, once i hear from him i'll let you know what he say's. Poor baby and cat they are going to get a lot of blame lol x

Welcome back freckles you have been missed, i have missed all the great animation pics you put up. Im so sorry to hear about your mum.. and your daughter going, you have had so much to cope with these past weeks. Im glad your on the mend yourself and you know we are all here for you x

Hi fatpants i took my stockings off 7 days post op (they were doing my head in) my dressings i changed every other day and after about 10 days i left them off.. i stayed on liquids for the 2weeks and them started on mushy food eg broccoli, carrots (mashed) small piece of salmon and a bit of gravy.. it was so nice after not eating for weeks, the white thing on your tongue i dont know what that is.. maybe 1 of the other bansters has had it x

Hi sammy im over 9 weeks post op and get this pain in my shoulder near on every day, it always seems worse at night.. i think it must be a build up of trapped wind from through out the day. Welcome to us windies lol x :w00t:

Hi bobobaldy i have had 2 fills, i go for my next one next month.. so far i have 5ml in x

Hi fatladyslim welcome to the forum you will find everyone really friendly and always happy to help with any questions you may have. I got my band in january and booked my surgery through www.europesurgery.co i booked the flights,hotel ect myself but i think the package one does work out slightly cheaper.. its the best thing i have done, it's not a miracle cure it's still hard work but the band is a massive help, i have no regrets and would recommend it to anyone also i would recommend dr chris and his team they are all great, any questions ask away im sure one of us will be able to help x

Hi bobobaldy well done on your weight loss 10lb is really good, when did you have your last fill? i still havnt lost any this time after last fill x

Hi sammy, i think i was the same when i seen 1 of the nurses at the dr's surgery.. i was the 1st person she had seen who had had a band fitted and she didnt know a lot about it so i took her some of the paper work we had from belgium for her to read, she was fascinated. Hope you get the approval from your dr.. a bit late if you dont tho lol x

Thanx for help and advice gary x

Hi mmm believe me you wont want this trapped wind and pain in the shoulder.. but if you insist you can always have mine with pleasure lol. fingers crossed once you get your fill things will start to improve for you x

Hi vanessa i see im not on my own with not loosing anymore weight even though we have had fills.. i still think mine didnt go in lol. Yes we can meet up and go together, it will give you a break from driving for a couple of hours. Regarding the shoulder pain.. i have tried to rub it and it doesnt seem to help, the only time i get relief is when i get rid of all the trapped wind, i could do with a valve in my shoulder to realise it lol. What time is your app for in april? if you havnt booked yet try and get it around 2 -2.30 x

Hi gillian i dont get any pain in my sinuses and i can burp 4 britain every time i have something to eat or drink. My weight is still stuck and not moving anywhere just cant wait for my next fill and hope it kick starts it again although i didnt lose any after my last fill x

Hi shoes i havnt emailed frederik i was just going to mention it when i next go for a fill, i dont think its how quick im eating (like i originally thought), iv tried eating slow, tried sipping fluids and its still the same. i still only have actimel drink for breakfast, cup a soup for lunch and then a healthy tea.. i dont eat in between meals. Hope you get sorted out 2.. keep to fluids and see how you get on. x

I only get the pain in the shoulder if the wind is stubborn and wont shift or if i dont take anything to help it go.. i get it every time i have something to eat or drink, my partner says he read somewhere that it is normal after having the band to get all this extra wind.. i never used to get wind before i had the band fitted x

hi gillian, hope you enjoyed your choc.. i was good and didnt have any. Im going to mention 2 frederik this wind problem i have.. i dont think its to do with what im eating, or eating to quick, im getting it after i drink as well, everyday i have to take something to ease it, just glad its coming up and not down lol x

Hi bigbones im glad you have come out the other end and your weight loss so far is fab. Fatpants i still get pain in my shoulder from wind and im 9 wks post op.. im not sure if its what im eating or if im eating to quick. Hi mand your preop diet is low fat 2 weeks before surgery, you dont need to worry about the calories as such.. they say low fat as this will shrink your liver and make the op easier for dr chris x

LOL i'll av a luk on map quest, i dont think the motorway has the same appeal as mountains sum how x

Sorry gillian as nice as the food sounds i wont be able to make it, daves off all weekend so we'll be out walking x

Hi sammy hope everything goes well at the dr's, let us know how the little one gets on wont you.. my nephews (age 1 & 2) have just had a sickness bug so fingers crossed its nothing to serious. Hurts like hell when food gets stuck doesnt it.. i had pasta bolognese y/day and didnt chew it properly omg thought i was going to die, the rest went in the bin lol, just let your hubby finish the soup x

Hi tanya i have been stuck on the 2 stone mark for weeks.. i cant wait to get into another stone, my next fill is april 6th in manchester and you dont feel any pain, you can feel the fluid going in, it doesnt hurt its just a bit of a weird feeling. Im 14 stone now so probably another 4 stone would be nice to lose. x

Welcome back fatpants, im so glad your back safe and well.. what fantastic weight loss so far you must be buzzing. Hope you will get plenty of rest which will help with your recovery x

Im good thanx, i got my band 9 weeks tomorrow.. its gone so quick, I havnt lost anymore weight since before my 2nd fill.. im stuck on 2 stone lost BUT i have eaten more than what i was, im back on track again so i hope it will start moving again x

Thats good advice tanya, i think thats why i was feeling hungry.. i hadnt been drinking as much as i usually do. hope your well x
