I hope you are doing well, if you are without complications just keep working with it and it will pay off. G xx

HI mags lovely to hear from you, i wish i could tell you that thay all have been sorted but i would be lying hahaha. i am awaiting the complete removal of my band, ive been for a ct scan and going for an edoscopy on fri as she thinks its probably eroded and has to work out the best way to remove it I have had 2 ports placed and both have ended up infected which point to the band and tubing itself being infected so it has to come out. This has been going on now since sept so in fairness i want it out, i have had no restriction since then and havnt gained as i am still mad for the training and train 6 days a week, my diet could be better but not too bad and i think as i have been fighting infection and taking tablets foir so long my metabolismn is f@@@ed so il be glad to get it out. In reflection i do not regret getting it< yes ive had my problems moreso than normal but its helped id say its lost 40% of my weight but its helped changed my view, even now with no restriction my view to large plates is very different, yes i still enjoy eating crap but that will never change but fortunatley excercise keeps that at bay. Regards g

i have replied to your mail, let me know if you got it

hey all, just thought i would stick my head on here and see who is still about from my era a while back on this site, for all that i know i hope your doing well and for all new guys i hope your band is working for you. gx

well i got my 2ml taken out my band for my leg surgery on wednesday:angry:, il tell you im not happy about it as i had been at my sweetspot for some 4-5 months now and was very controlable, its now a strange feeling being able to eat again, i have very little restriction now however my stomach can no longer take the larger portion although i can eat more than i was, so the next 3 weeks are going to be intersting, fortunately for me i am very motivated with my training for the half marathon so i should be ok. keep you posted. g

hi and welcome to the site, was nice to meet you. g

hey scooby was nice to meet you yesterday, yip the gurgling is normal, thats you starting to get some restriction however it will eas as i had that too but when i got to my tight sweet spot the gurgling stopped so maybe one more might have you at the sweet spot. On the marathon ive not decided wither to do for charity yet, i will wait till next week and see how i am after my leg surgery, im sure il be fine. gx

excellent good news, now make sure you take the proper time to recover its mega important gx

i hve frederik mobile number if its any use, send me a pm if u would like it. g

hi all big test for me, i am having my varicose veins removed on the 4th of august and as it is a general anasthetic i have to get my band opened, much to my regret as i have spent some time getting to my sweet spot but hey ho. It will be interesting to test and see for the 4 weeks how i am mentally with food. I am hoping that my eating habits have changed enough by now that it should be ok. Keep you posted. g
