Hi folks, I've just had my third fill taking me up to 6 mils in a 10 mil band and I am now suffering from acid reflux, having never suffered before in my life. My question is, has it gotten any better for anyone as the band starts to settle or will it worsen if I go for another fill? I'd really appreciate people's thoughts on this matter. Thanks, Miss Flump x

Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris
Miss Flump replied to susanlondon's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Hello everyone!! Sorry I haven't been on here for a while,:thumbdown: My life's been a bit crazy since February for various different reasons, but I'm happy to say it's all getting back to normal slowly but surely. Since the last time I came on here, I've had three fills with Frederic in Manchester. I had 3 mils, then 2 mils then a further 1 mil put in on Thursday, taking me to 6 mils in a 10 mil band. I actually believe I may be starting to get nearer proper restriction now, although one more fill might be required, I'll have to see how I go at easing myself back on to normal foods over the next couple of days. My weight has been coming off slowly, but at least it's going to be sustainable this time. I have lost 24 pounds, but am hoping that a few more will come off in the next few days. I'd be really pleased if I get to the two stone mark soon. I'm not buying any new clothes yet though! You might remember that I started a Facebook group called 'Gastric Band Patients of Dr Christiaan de Bruyne' which a few people did not want to join because their friends did not know about their operation. Well, I am pleased to say that I have now made the group invisible, so it won't appear on anyone's Facebook profile. So, if people would still like to join the group, send me a personal message on here and I will add you as a friend on Facebook and then invite you to join the group. We've got 8 members at the moment, and it's much easier to follow the conversation than on this thread, because it's sooo long!! Anyhow, I hope you're all well and I'll check back in again sometime soon. Bye for now, Miss Flump x -
Sweet cravings - vitamins for.
Miss Flump replied to slimmy120's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think it might be chromium picolinate. I'm not sure if it's a Vitamin, but you can certainly get it from most health food stores in the UK and there's tons of information about it on the web. -

Hiya peeps, Glad to hear that everyone's recovering little by little and welcome to the newbies!! Just to remind people that I've set up a group called 'Gastric Band Patients of Dr Christiaan de Bruyne' over on Facebook if anybody would like to join. There's 5 of us now and we're looking for more members! We'll be able to start lots of different topics that relate to our lapband experience over there if anyone would like to join. I've started a topic where we can all introduce ourselves, and another one about life with the band, but as yet, without a fill. Come on over and join us!! Speak to you all soon, Miss Flump x x x -
Wow. What a transformation!! You look simply stunning. Congratulations on your amazing loss. Hope I do as good as you have. Miss Flump x x

Welcome back girls!!!!! Hope it all went well!!! We've all been thinking about you!! :smile::wink2::smile::w00t::smile::smile: I am soooo sorry I never got the chance to come online and wish you well before the three of you went over to Belgium. I could have kicked myself about that one. :mad2: I don't have the internet at home, so most of the time I have to wait until I'm at my boyfriend's house at the weekend before I can post on here. I think I definitely need to sort that one out. LOL. Anyhow, hope you're all recovering well. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we're all eagerly awaiting your return to the forum with your surgery stories. And you'll be able to help the newbies who have started posting since you've had your surgery. Thanks to those asking about how I am getting on. Everything's going well. I gained a few pounds back, but they're gone plus a couple more, so I've lost 16lbs in total. I am on mushy foods most of the time, but I have eaten a couple of slices of pizza which has gone down surprisingly well as long as I chew it really well. I certainly can't eat it at the speed I used to, so I'm guessing the band must be doing something already!! I'm waiting for my first fill now, which is still 25 days away, so I've accepted that I'm not likely to lose that much more in between now and then, but I'll certainly let you know how it goes when I do. Talk soon, Miss Flump x x -

Hiya Bigsis, You should be fine with your mobile. I didn't see any posters or signs up and both me and Tropical Lagoon used ours and no one said anything. As for the Facebook thing, it's not that scary honest! I'm a total luddite where technology is concerned and I get my boyfriend to help me. It's very similar to signing up for this forum, but with a dedicated group for Dr Chris's patients where we can have lots of different topics running at the same time. Only me and Tropical Lagoon are members at the mo, so there's very little chance of us abandoning the forum just yet!! Anyhow, give it some thought and any more questions just ask. :tongue2: MF x x
