I had my first fill at 4 weeks, on a Friday, then the next fill the next day, Saturday (went to Belgium and stayed overnight) Then I had third and fourth fills in Feb (about 10 weeks post op) Defill in June then refill in July cos of Scarlet fever. . . that was all I had in the first yr. Hope this helps H x

Hi, I found this forum from reading Catherine's blog (Chronicles from Band Land). I had my band fitted in Belgium in Dec 07. I was miserable and middle aged and had been fat and or on diet all my life. At 220 pounds I was desperate for help And I got it. My band journey hasn't been easy or simple, but it has really been worth while. I am 128 pounds maintaining my weight now and thinking about maybe getting plastic surgery (first on the list would be a face lift - or maybe a tummy tuck; and a breast uplift. . . if only, I will have to save up!) Looking forward to being part of this forum - I am on another Weight Loss Surgery Forum, but it is not all bands, a lot of bypasses; and the aftercare for bands is quite different. H x,

HI, I am also in the UK, and was banded in Belgium by Dr Chris in Dec 07. I'm thinking about the tummy tuck. H x
