  1. Happy 53rd Birthday sher67!

  2. Happy 52nd Birthday sher67!

  3. Hi Slinx Thanks for that. Had my 3rd fill on 4th with Fredrick as Dr Chris was not available. He only put 1.5 in and he checked that I did not have a leek. So far I'm up to 5.5ml. Really hoping for some restricktion as like you I still eat a fair bit and having no weight loss. I meet a women on the day very slim she had lost 7 stone- she said to me after each fill make sure I stick with 3 days of fluids only that it seals the band and gives good restricktion. I'm going to stick with it caueI really need to weight to shift I'm getting a little down thinking I put myselfthrough all that for nothing. Will keep you posted. Welldone to those who are losing and good luck to all those about to start XXX
  4. Laila - I hav'nt been on the site for a while but had time today and have read last few pages. I was really looking for advice as am in the same situation as you. Know just how you feel - I was banded on 27 July and lost 14lb in the 1st 6weeks since then I've only lost another 2lb and nothing at all last month. I chose to keep my fills small so far have had 2 both with 2mls. I am hardly feeling any rescritition and can eat more now than i could a few weeks ago. What is going on. I was hoping to have lost at least 2 stone by xmas very disappointed. Sher :thumbup:
  5. Slinky happy belated B'day- how's it all going. Jusy wanted to update as had my 2nd fill on Thursday. No weight loss after my 1st fill. but definatly feel more rescrited this time. I now have 4mls so am hoping for a loss this month. Really pleased that i did'nt gain any. Meet with Dr Chris - The london clinic is overloaded I had to wait for a cancellation to get booked in and was only told the day before. On the day I waited about an hour. Must book early. Emmesy how are you did you get your 2ndfill on the 7th.:biggrin:
  6. It's been a while since I've posted anything - but had quick read and wanted to catch up. I had my 1st fill on 9/9 and like many others no weight loss this month. I am due for another and trying to book an app; I have Julie's mobile (london) but she is away does anyone have another number EMSEY maybe you can help. Next date is 7th October. Slinky how are you?
  7. Slinky no worries it all took about 10mins - I was so glad to see Dr Chris. They call you into avery posh room Dr Chris asks who U R and when you were banded he has all your info on his computor. He weighs U and said I was doing well have lost about 16lb. He asks if there have been any prob then a very strict talk about calories, excerise and the rules for the next 5 days. For 2 days fluids only 2 days mushy food then on day 5 return to eating slowly and chewing really well. We agreed a 2ml fill I want my weight loss to be slow as worried about being sick and having loads of flab. I have to go back every month were he does the same again. It did'nt hurt I didnt even see the needle just uncomfortable for 2 sec when your skin is punctured. After you drink a cup of water to make sure alls ok. Pay yr £80 and off U go. There was loads of girls there some on there 2nd fill others worried about the 1st all happy to talk of their experiences most good, but a girl was little upset as no weight loss since her last fill. Good luck to all about 2 b banded and those going for fills x
  8. Emsey and Twilight looking 4ward to mtg u 2mrw my app is at 11.50 are we still on 4 coffee. Freckles thanks for being frank better to know the truth, will post 2mrw evening. Slinky yr turn soon x:eek:
  9. Does anyone know if I need take anything with me when I go for my 1st fill. thanks
  10. Hi everyone Its been a while since ive looked at site got wrapped up in work and kids for the summer hols. Like most of you my weight loss is at a standstill have lost 16lbs. My 1st fill is on 9th Sept at 11.50 so hope to meet Emsey and anyone else going around that time. Although my weight loss is slow, Im really feeling the effects of the band, I cant eat bread, cakes red meat/pork anything doughy. I cant eat fast If i 4get it feels as though Im getting an electric shock from the band lol it stops me in my tracks. Im worried about 1st fill and sure Ive read we start with 3ml Im imagening all kinds of problems if i dont do it slowly and was thinking of asking Dr Chris 4 advice. please give as much advice as poss all those that have had a few fills thanks.:smile:
  11. Hi Slinky It's all gone quiet - there no change here weight is at a standstill but glad i hav'nt put any on. Nearly time for my 1st fill need it to get weight moving again. Im looking for a Zumba class always wanted to salsa this sounds like more fun x:laugh:
  12. Hi Summer Yr not alone only my closest family and friends know. I think i will tell others but when it feels right 4 me. My work place have been good they knew i had an op but not which 1 no one has asked 2 many questions. As long have researched the band taken on board the postivies and negatives and are prepared to live with that - then do what right for u. Dr Chris is good the treatment in Belgium is better than in the uk, so no worries there. keep asking questions x
  13. Hope u feel better soon Freckles drink as much as u can x
