Hi everyone, especially the people that know me!! its not worked for me just now as i cant get through to get my fills which is def needed....takes too much time a nr 6 hr there and back journey just now!!! thinking about going to edinburgh now my contract with WLS has ended as would be nearer and quicker even though i think WLS and Wendy are brilliant!! god i wish she could visit Edinburgh or somewhere else in Scotland!!?????:eek: ok ALL the best to everyone on your journey..will be difficult but keep up the fight as it WILL be worth it!:thumbup: p.s not givin up yet!

Hi, this is to all posters on this site,but more to the folk who have helped me! as you all know i have been a total XXXXXXX for a wee while and posted some terrible things that should have been discussed at the time and using pm for sure. anyway no excuses but i have been going through a wee rough patch myself and stupidly coming on this site and being totally un thoughtful.....so for what its worth and i mean it 100% to everyone and especially mmm,gaz,freckles....SORRY guys!! i think you should know Gaz etc u hit the nail on the head i did use this site and it is brilliant,also it is the people who are on it that makes it great by telling the truth about the whole dirty ins and outs of being banded!! so again freckles etc i apologise as i do normally laugh at the posts!you do have my sense o humour for sure. ill finish by saying ill keep an eye on the pages and wish all pre bandsters and current bandsters all the best because it certainly is an emotional ride! hopefully next time when i do post its something good and positive to say as i tried to do b4 the last few idiotic times! TIN:confused:

and? garry will help u im sure he is a big girls blouse too:wink2:

Garry is that it then nothing for me.. i agree i was over the top but mmm deserved that from me and i have apologised for being over the top! she had me worried until i had the op done with her stupid remarks....ask her to prove them? u take zantac you wont get the op!! ok to go against me i suppose full o big :sneaky:women on here anyway!

for your info i have apologisd for my tone and it was the truth not trash for your info! i do not apologise for the worry she put me through!! also i think you should think about what u say on this place too as all we get is you speaking about all your functions ie burping,farting,spewing,etc,etc to name a few!! do u really think people who have been banded want to here that...or it helps them reading an old womens problems?? not nice either!:confused:

apologies for the tone of my response mmm, looking at the post again it is somewhat harsh but i was angry at the time as i was thinking back to the upset and worry you had caused me with your "experience" re taking zantac prior to having the band fitted. I most def could have worded it better or should not have responded at all.

gotta say come on mmm ur just getting folk to worry? when i was going over to belgium you told me because i was taking zantac they might not operate!! i asked Dr chris and he was like in a scottish thing"whit the fuk you on a boot" so what u saying now? trying to get homecare to worry too? stop putting your crap on here to make people worried its not correct....plus what is ur objective? homecare hope you read this as this person is full o it imo!

thanks ill look at that?is it something to do with infection or viruses?i think it flared up this time due to stressing out and having a soar throat!

hi, to everyone not been on for a couple of months but good to see everyone doing well and more folk going ahead with the banding. i was doing well for a good few month lost nearly 24 pounds then a family trate started playing up...... psoriasis which i could handle usually, but these were and still are even worse as ive got them on my face!! anyway as regulars can see not been on as i let my focus slip and put on weight over xmas etc due to not going out anywhere etc eating for comfort/drinking etc and most of the 24 pounds is back on now!usual habits! anyway due to get a fill again this month with Wendy hope it will actually work and give me some help this time (still no decent restriction) as this is why i had it done but it did not help me this time...so just remember as people do say not a miracle cure....hard work too! im up for a fight again this time so heres hoping!

Hi Homecare and well done a pound a week is great !! i had to cancel my fill as the young lad was unwell and i had to pick him up from nursery and look after him,hes fine now ! being honest i wasnt looking forward to this fill anyway as iv put on weight for sure not handling it all so good:glare: booked in for dec and wendy is brill said i wont have to lose out re 6 fills in 6 months sort of thing so im gonna get my missed one in jan!:thumbup: your doing brill keep it up! p.s ill be away by 1330

Hi again everyone and a good luck to all the pre bandsters and eveyone on this journey! well not been on for a wee while with one thing and another but good to catch up and read some positive stories!:smile: i have been struggling too for about 4-6 weeks and dont seem to have any restriction yet probably put on a couple of pounds(too scared to weigh myself), however i have my 4th fill next week so hopefully something will change?? only thing i notice is if i eat something say in the morning and its cold i struggle to get it down,also if i have something at night and say i had a cold drink b4 i eat same again for a few mouthfulls?? but i can still eat a fare amount when im at a low point just have to eat it slower....yes im bad!:frown: anyway thought i needed to get myself more focused so have bought a second hand cross trainer last weekend and been on it twice every day since,doing a little sit ups and some free weights again...anyway seem to be in a better place now so long may it continue!!:thumbup: a well done to BOBO your post puts things into perspective and makes you see its gonna take time! also a big hello to HOMECARE hope you are doing well and looking forward to your next fill on tuesday? p.s garry and flirty...get a room!:smile2:

thanks homecare...im back on track but still not up to 100% fighting power but think im getting there? have u heard anything from your sis and bro in law yet?as we know they are in professional hands and they will be fine:smile: yeh if J does then it WILL be all of us i would think?? i would probably arrange anopther fill out there for same time if/when we organise it? keep up the great work Homecare your in the ZONE i think?? plus if your stuck for de cluttering or cleaning i have plenty to do in my house and garden???:confused: im not gonna weigh myself until tuesday, i started eating properly today as was starving couple o poached eggs and toast nothing too heavy then soup and tuna mixed with some tomato etc went down ok and felt content. ok all the best H catch u later:thumbup:

thanks for your kind words anitahug!much appreciated i would say if you feel so down about things speak to wendy as i did and i do feel more positive re how i feel and what i can achieve working with the band.:w00t: as you know it is difficult... look at me and you but as i have been hearing all the time any loss is a positive and a step closer to your goal?? plus everyone IS different so reading on this site how much people lose etc could be detrimental to others,so i personally would stick to this for site for brilliant help but for real advice Wendy is the answer.!:eek: good luck

i take it this is your sister that knows all about it obviously, speaking to over in belgium i thought your family werent really up for it so you were keeping it like me to minimal knwledge???:wink:but all the same they have to be happy with your progrees and thats probably whats made them decide to do it i suppose..brilliant! by he way j sais really well done!i think she is thinking about it now too ???:scared2:

your right homecare but i suppose i feel im lettting myself down at the moment as im not giving it 100% focus which i do like to do! re wendy i have to text her next tuesday to let her know how my restriction and confidence is going...she is then going to call me for a wee chat later in the evening. so yeh anyone who is thinking about using wendy and her company i would just say they/she is very professional and always ready to help you. i do feel more positive after speaking to wendy and basically think to myself imagine what i could lose with 100% effort??:scared2: good luck to everyone TIN:thumbup:

Bobo all i can say son is that weight loss is "amazing" and a great inspiration for myself and others for sure!!:biggrin: well done:thumbup:

hi homecare, well got to say well done on losing so much especially as it was mostly fat! great you have some restriction hope it lasts for you for a wee while!:thumbup: i lost 4 pounds this month so not great but a step in the right direction i suppose, plus i am going to try harder this month for sure! i got another 1.5 in my band too so should know by mushie time if any difference re restriction hopefully? all the best TIN:thumbup:

hiya wishfull,and thanks for your kind words a wee while back! im exactly the same feel a bit down about the whole thing as my will power has totally gone...and when this happens i do the preverbial "who gives a s--t!" however got a fill booked for tuesday with wendy and must admit not looking forward to going as i feel im letting her down as well as myself! as ill probably have not lost more than 3- 4 pounds in a month if lucky!or i have but lost muscle as i dont ge the chance to play footy anymore!:sad: i would just say the way im trying to handle it is....at least im not putting on!!and in your position i would say well you have missed a fill and you MIGHT be a pound or two up but that is WHY we have the bands done to restrict the intake when our will power is failing!! remember that!and good luck :sad:

hi homecare good to hear from you!.....and carrie jess i bet you look even more lovely with your new hair style? plus well done on the 1 yr anniversary must feel brilliant? so homecare you have had some restriction then? been away on holiday for a week so not been on for a few days but i have to admit i think my bands slipped or something? not been too strict but was able to eat a 12" pizza the other night no probs, was not my intention!!! cant seem to break the 2-2.5 stone mark and hold it??? saying that i am now trying my 100% to lose more weight b4 my next fill week on tuesday??i think wendy will be unhappy with me..again!:rolleyes:willpower has gone and no restriciton yet?? weighed myself today and put on 6 pounds so very peed off! no restriciton and no willpower left this is why i ultimately got the band as i can last about 8 weeks on will power alone but after that need help?not any good so far so fed up! see how things go next week on the weigh in?:thumbup: good luck to everyone else!

i would say mmm stop putting yourself down re what you want to eat and have ate...start from now!! only you can do it we are here to help you but i think you have lost the will to lose the weight? only you can get back to that vibe...remember why you had the band done and what u wanted to achieve might help?? good luck

well done!!bet you feel great about finally reaching the so called "sweet spot"?? had my second fill today so hopefully not too far away?? keep up the good work:smile:

hiya homecare, wendy put in 2 mls today so 5.5ml but she also took it out to show me that it is actually going in to the band. she gets the port first time no probs very professional and helpful. i only lost a couple o pounds since last time (which i knew),saying that i had lost approx 6-7 pounds after first fill b4 i had all these weddings,parties,holidays etc:rolleyes: so thats me back on track for sure want to lose about 8 pounds min when i go for my next fill in 4 weeks time!! memo to self......I MUST TRY HARDER.....please write this 100000 times for being a bad boy! hope this fill makes some difference?plus hopefully the liquid/mushie diet for next 6 days will give the weight loss a boost too???:mad2: im starving noo!! how u doing and any weight loss? TIN:smile:

hi homcare...lol...yeh just read that post back again and it is very confusing! anyway good luck for tomorrow seeing wendy for your fill! i wonder how much she will put in our bands this time? later TIN:thumbup:
