Hi Freckles, glad your feeling a bit better,did you have your fill yesterday, i had fill yesterday Fred put in 1/2 mil brought me up to 6 1/2 im not sure about the fill Fred said a little came back out he said i should not get a fill for another while, but i feel know different then before even tho still on liquids today, just a bit worried when he said some came out 1/2 is very little so cant help but feel what he put came back out just a bit confused , i would think i should notice even on liquids had soup and yogurts today no prob so what do you think guy's :eek::confused: Happy Birthday Gillian :smile2::smile:

Hi Sammy, im going for 4th fll on Thurs i have 6mils at the mo hoping to get some restriction Frederick said my band holds 7-10 he said he only put half of a mil in this time so fingers crossed its great you have good restriction now the weight will fall off:thumbup: Hi freckles glad to see you back sorry to hear your mums poorly hope shes feeling better soon how many fils have you had so far :rolleyes2: Welcome home to all all you new bansters every day you will feel a bit better look forward to dropping those pounds:thumbup:

Hi Topping if i was you i would go on your weekend before your op you be able to enjoy it, i dont think you be able for it so soon after your op you will be very weak for a few days and a bit sore you wont be able to eat just have liquids everyone is differant i felt very weak just wanted to curl up on the sofa i was fine after about a week you have to take things very slowly and look after yourself, i got the 9pm flight it was fine, party while you can be a while before you can do it x:smile:

Hi Garry so glad for you band starting to do its job im having 4th fill next Thurs hoping to get a bit of restriction i seem to be able to eat more at the mo, a bit disapointed i hav,nt lost anymore weight in the last two weeks even tho im only having three small meals a day about 1000 cals so hoping next fill will get me going again x:crying:

Hi Topping that be no problem at all thats a good idea over the bank holiday give you more time to recover being honest your better off taking a few days off everyone is different i know i felt very weak

Hi Laura so sorry to hear that you must be devastated,im not one hundred % on this but i think i read someone on this forum say that there BMI was 50 and Dr Chris provisional gave them a date if they got there BMI down i dont know what they had to get it down to but it would be worth your while emailing Frederick again and asking him could he do that give you something to work towards even if you have to wait a couple of months to be more healthy for the op dont give up yet email him asking what do you have to get your BMI down to he might provisional give you a date best of luck love:smile:

Hi Kaka, so good to hear Steph is doing really well only one fill thats great tell her i was asking for her often think about her and the other ladies that was done same day pop in now again let us know how shes doing hope your keeping well yourself xx:smile:

Hi Laura you are better off booking direct with Frederick it will save you a few bob i paid €4.070 that includes three nights hotel for you and your partner also all your taxi's, i wouldn't worry about your age there was a girl over there when i was she was 21 she had know problems, Frederick will ask you to send him some medical details what medication you are taking and if you have any medical conditions, i think Bobo has sent you Frederick's email good luck with your decision:smile::blushing: PS i don't think Europe surgery includes hotel or taxi's

Hi laura, welcome to the forum i am from Co Kildare i had my surgery 6th of March i had my consultation the night before it was fine i got a chance to meet three girls that where having surgery same day as me Frederick asked me would i mind if he spoke to us all together i was glad put my mind at ease we where all going through the motions together, the taxis picked us all up the same time, we where able to have a chat before we left hotel and when we arrived at the hospital, when i checked in to hospital i didn't see anybody till after op next morning:smile::blushing:

Hi Topping,my appointment is not till 2pm if your still around want to have a chat you can let me know:smile: The best of luck to guys having surgery this week not that you need it looking forward too your post:smile::biggrin: Hi too all the newbies youve come too the right place:smile::w00t:

Hi Lunasa, Im from Ireland Co kildare thanks for your honesty, its good to hear both sides of the story, its early days for me at the mo i know what you mean about food getting stuck i was very busy on Sat let myself get to hungry i had just eat two bites of chicken and got a really bad pain i know i did'nt chew enough but this never happened to me before it was very scary went to the loo about 15 mins it came back up, im a bit confused at the mo like you i still get very hungry dont get that full feeling so i thought i had know restriction,i agree with you about the desire for food the band does'nt stop you thinking about food in my case choc & chips its very hard because you know that alot of the bad stuff goes down to easy its a battle of wills all the time, the only thing i can say to you is try and be strong i know its not easy i keep saying to myself your stronger then that bar of choc its crap like that got me this way in the first place,like you i know im always going to struggle with the desire to eat the wrong food, i just hope the band will help me on my way:smile::w00t:

Hi Lunasa, sorry to hear you having such a bad time with your band,can i ask you what do you mean by obstruction i had my band done in Belgium on the 6th March im doing ok but its getting harder as i hav'ent got much restriction just relying on my own will power at the mo,i am getting 4 fill 2 July hoping to get good restriction then, also can i ask you how did you sabotage your band :blushing::w00t:

Hi Topping, i had my surgery the 6th of march i have lost almost four stone the band gave me the kick start i needed but still takes a lot of will power it is only an aid you have to work with it i kept telling myself i did'nt put myself through surgery to give in to temptation its not easy, the fills can be frustrating getting to your sweet spot i think i am nearly there having 4th fill on 2th July and i know when i do get full restriction the weight i have lost wont go back on but you have to work with the band hope this is of some help to you as for Dr chris and hes team i could not fault them in any way the hosp was spotless, have know regrets it has give me the push i needed any ? i will help if i can:smile:

Hi freckles, i love a drink myself but have to admit it defo slows down your weight loss if i have a drink at the weekend i only would have few vodka's and diat coke i could be up a couple of pounds not fair ,going to a party on Sat nite i am defo going to have a few cant be good all the time lol:smile:

Hi Topping im living in Kildare had my surgery 6th March i have had know regrets, i could not fault Dr chris and his team you be in good hands,i am having my forth fill in Dublin on the 2th July to what time is your app, if you have any ? ask away you will find all the info you need here its a fantastic forum guys on here are all at differant stages so theres always some one there to help:smile:

Hi Freckles great to see you have good restriction i eat three meals a day between 1000 to 12000 cals a day its usually cornflakes lunch boiled egg couple of duch bread like what we had in the hosp and a yougurt dinner is just a small portion of what the family are having bit of chicken veg maybe 2 baby potatoes or fish and a bit of salad if i get really hungry at night i have small bowl of cornflakes or a yougurt or some grapes, i have heard you have to eat a certain amount to loss weight maybe your not eating enough i dont have any goodys at the mo dont trust myself i know the goodys go down to easy and if i start i wont stop all tho have a couple of drinks on a sat night mind you only a couple:wub: thats aload lol:smile:
