Hi fatpants have you got everything ready for your trip? bet your really excited that your day is almost here.. how has your preop gone? have you stuck 2 it?. you will be in very good hands while in belgium.. dr chris, frederik and all the staff are great. I cant wait to read your posts and you will be the same as us on here, losers lol x

Hi mooster what time was your appointment for your fill? i got there about 2ish but had to wait down stairs for 10 mins as they said it was busy in the reception area upstairs, when i got up there there was only 1 person there, think they must of left vi er the window because they didnt pass me. Are you going next month? x

Hi mandy, im sure we wont get fed up with you asking questions, we have all been in your position of wanting to no everything.. just wait till you get your date, you will be worse then lol. its really exciting tho. It is still hard work but i think you have to change your attitude towards food aswell, i got banded 16th jan an so far lost 2 stone.. iv just had my 2nd fill so have to stay on liquids for a couple of days, you will pick up loads of help and advice along the way and if you read past posts x

Hi vanessa the date for the next fill in manchester is the 9th april x

Iv been for my 2nd fill today.. got another 2ml put in, thats 5ml in total.. just got to stick to liquids for a few days but fingers crossed my weight will start moving again. I met miss flump(again) and vanessa there, both lovely and doing well x

Welcome to kaka's daughter im glad you have joined us on the forum, you have had really good results so far, well done x

Hi mandy, if tulliie gets in touch agai (and she will) tell her you have booked with someone else who is cheaper, she wont like it but if you dont say anything she will hound you day after day (she did with me). i booked with bridget at europesurgery, she was very nice and cheaper, if you are going to book surgery do your sums and get prices for flightes, hotels, transfers and surgery and then get a price to book direct with dr chris and see what you come up with. good luck x

Its ok we spoil eachother, im glad i got him some things or i would of felt really crap, even though i got him things for our weekends of walking (hardly romantic). but what do you get a man??? i got dave roses for valentines and he looked shocked as he has never had flowers before. Its funny really i have known dave for over 20 years but we only got together 2 years ago as we both married and got on with our lives.

Hi kaka pass on my 'congratulations' to your daughter.. bet she is made up, its such a great feeling knowing the weight is finally going to come off and the future seems a brighter one xx

Iv just had a lovely big bouquet of flowers and a balloon delivered... iv been with my partner 2 years 2day, he is lovely.

Welcome back shoes, glad your on the mend.. everyday you will feel better, my port area stung for days but soon healed. Regarding the fills; as long as you know what date they are in glasgow i would just turn up, i wasnt on the list for my 1st fill and still got done no questions asked.. you will defo get done as a few of the other bandsters will tell you, thats the only reason i went.. on there advice. When julie is back phone and make app 4 the next couple of months. I have got my 2nd fill 2moro so hope my weight will start to move again. Well done on your weight loss your doing amazing x

Hi mandy, dont worry about asking questions.. we have all been there and asked for as much info as possible so none of us will mind, its a big step but one you wont regret. I got banded jan 16th 09 and so far i have lost 2 stone.. i will be having my 2nd fill 2moro so fingers crossed it will start moving again. If you do book to go with dr chris and his team you will probably find someone on here who will be going at the same time as you, that way a bit of extra support as well as what everyone on here will give you x

Welcome to the forum mandy, hope the pm helped you a bit, im sure one of the other bandsters will be able to give you the email add so you can book direct x

Dont think i'll get my scales out till wkend, actualy i have my fill this thursday so if iv put on a couple of lb frederik might put a better fill in, it might work for me. I think 14-16 would be a good size for you with your height, im only 5ft 2 .. a bit of a short a..e lol. we will all be waiting for your pics next week so dont be shy lol x

Hi flirtylass, You will have to put pics from the this week end on face book and we can see your new outfit.. it is a great feeling tho when your clothes get to big, i'll be buying a size 16 this time :biggrin: an i can hardly wait, its that time of the month so i'll wait cos im usually bloated x

Oh thats ok, i told you i wasnt good on this face book thing, i will get used to it lol x

Hi gillian, how naughty are you, you mentioned me going for my fill on face book :biggrin:. Its ok i'll let you off this time lol. yeh im going thursday.. just hope he gives me a decent fill, i still think i'll only get 1/2 or 1ml but i can wish x

Hi flirtylass sound like your having fun buying new clothes lol, you deserve em.. youv worked hard on your weight loss. The new 'smaller' jeans i got the other week are getting 2 big, how good is that.

Hi again bigjoy, scroll right down to the bottom of the page and click on 'anyone know of dr de bruyne chris', this will take you to the more up to date forum that we all use, all very friendly and all happy to help with any questions, most on there have all been done by dr chris x

Hi and welcome bigjoy, i had my band fitted by dr chris on the 16th jan 09, you dont need medication so maybe your friends are trying to put u off surgery, you will need painkillers for a couple of days and you need to take Multivitamins for a few months just to make sure your body is getting everything it needs as your diet wont be the same for a while after surgery. Dr chris and his team are fantastic and really look after you, i havnt looked back since my surgery and so far i have lost 2 stone :laugh:. Hope this helps x

lol we will be jogging next x

Hi freckles, there is only 4 people who know about my band.. i dont want people thinking im cheating and iv taken the easy route, but it isnt easy.. you still have to work at it. Im sure now you have a 'working' band your weight loss will be better this time round x

Lol i wondered what that was, then i read it :confused: . It should fingers crossed go down soon.. at least you got it looked at and it's nothing serious and that you dont need anymore surgery x

Hi freckles that does include my 2 weeks preop which i stuck to for the full 2 weeks also i do more exercise now.. i feel im walking further and faster now im a bit lighter. I seen my niece for the 1st time since having my band and she said "omg you have lost loads of weight", that is such a good feeling, they dont know about my band x

Hi flirty, well done on your weight loss you have done fantastic, i was made up getting to the 2 stone mark.. its an amazing feeling, roll on(or off i should say) the next stone lol x
