Thanks emsey for the information. I ended up going to my local hospital with dehydration was put on a drip then in the morning they did an x-ray had to drink that awful drink so that it shows up in the x-ray. The guy said its totally closed nothing is going through. They took 6ml out and left only 2.5 felt like crying, took me nearly a year to get to my restriction. I lost a stone in 2 weeks felt great, now having no restriction it will go back on. Will try extra hard not to eat too much lol. I asked the gastric band surgeon why for sudden the band tightened he just said sometimes it does that for no reason. It was scary not being able to eat or drink and please dont wait like me, more then 2 days for de- fill things could have been very dangerouse if i left it any longer. Everyone is doing so well, love reading ur post keep it up.

Hi guys, Hope your all well. I'm away from home just wondering if any one has Fredrick's or the other guys contact details handy. Had a fill 2 weeks ago which brings it up to 8.25 ml . I thought finally got restriction which was great been eating less and lost 9lb in 5 days. :rolleyes: Last few days the band has tightened more I cant even take water I just bring it up again, feeling rubbish too with high temperature Has any one been through this or any advice in what to do will be greatful. thanks. Jasmine

Hi all Its been long time since I wrote anything thought I come and let you know about my progress. I have not lost much weight been disappointed with the whole thing. Went for my second fill last week, when Chris asked me how im getting on I almost started crying told him not lost any weight. He put in another 2.5 ml which brings it upto 5.5 ml Chris reassured me it was going to work and that he put in good fill. I still don’t have restriction, can eat almost anything. Right now I feel its not going to work for me. Did any one else go though this, any tips will be grateful.

Thank u all for your good wishes, Im so glad another big wish on my list is completed, I know it’s a start of a new slimmer me cant wait. Want to say to any one if your thinking of having it done please go for it there is nothing to worry about, if I can do it then any one can do it. I wish went ahead with it sooner. The team at the other end are so nice cant fault non of them. WANNABE SLINKY The pain I felt was after the surgery in the recovery room which was sorted very quickly with injection . If u need more painkillers they are given through ur IV drip. The pain is not bad but it was uncomfortable when I was moving, I asked for painkiller because it was there and others had it, maybe I would of managed without it. The needle I had was one from IV, blood test before surgery and one next day to make sure everything is ok so 3 I think. Don’t worry I don’t like needles but they are very good at there jobs. it will seem a lot but lot of things are cramped into short time.

Hi all, I am back from Brussels OMG the whole experience was so weird. I flew from Leeds/ Bradford got there 1h 20m later. I got to Brussels at 7.30pm then got a taxi to the hotel which cost us 27 Euro which I think was rather expensive for 10 min taxi ride. The hotel was rather basic but very clean, location could have been better it was located in industrial estate nothing to look at. That night me and the 4 other girls from UK had a meeting with Fredrik he went through everything eg about the surgery about complication that might happen and so on. We could ask him questions if we need to. Also we had to pay for our surgery that night. Next morning we got a taxi to the hospital for 7 which took us 5 min to get there. I was shown to my bed and the cupboards with number on and also bathroom with my own sink lol. Nurse asked me to get changed in their trendy gown and socks. One by one lots of different nurses came do different test. Also dr de brunye came and all the girls gathered in one room and he explained to us what was going to happen. It was about 1:45 I was wheeled into theatre there waited for about 30 min in this room with 4 other people waiting for surgery. As I was waiting I could see the recovery room in that room was a girl from UK who has just had her surgery done she was violently sick. After seeing her I was scared wanted to run away and thought to myself what on earth am I doing. Few min later I was wheeled in theatre and they did lots of preparing around me. Anastasia was put in my arms to make me fall asleep I remember it was 2:20 that time. I woke up in the recover room I think it was 2:50 when I looked at the clock might be wrong cuz I was very sleepy. I was in lot of pain so they gave injection on my bum. After 2 hours in the recovery I was then back in the room where my hubby was waiting for me. Slept most of the evening then was awake whole of the night, me and the other girl we chatted all night. I was lucky I was with 2 other girls from UK. In the morning had the ex ray test to see if everything is as it should be. I was not sick I did really well cant say I liked the taste. The surgeon came and told us we can go back to the hotel and before we go we had to try and eat little bit of soup and crisp bread. I eat one crisp bread and 2-3 spoon of soup which I felt I was full. Coming back to the UK was not nice to travel hated it, especially the bumpy ride from the airport to York. Sorry guys iv gone on too much, thought my experience might help other who r thinking of going.

Hi all hope u all had a nice weekend, Im going to Brussels 2morrow, feel sick with worries. I know u guys will say nothing to worry about but I cant help it wish it was over and done with.

Thanks for replying back. I may sound silly but is it a standard procedures that every one has to have injection after the surgery, or for people who may have problems with blood clotting. Im hoping i can get out of it lol.
