Hi, I had another fill on Thurs, and can immediately feel the difference! With al the other fills, I was starving 24 hours after. This time I can really feel it, so hopefully I can shift the last of this damn weight

Thanks Juliesquirral, i think i will get a small fill at the end of the month when i get paid, i need to take Dr Chris my Xray disc anyway. Hi big daddy,I have now put 8lb back on since xmas, i am finding it sooooo hard to get out of my old habits, it doesnt help that i work from home, the fridge and cupboards are just to close lol. I think perhaps a small fill will get me back on track, its just having the time and the money to get one, i am in Milton keynes, so my closest fill is London, which means a whole day off, and i also have a little one in nursey, so its just hard fitting it all in

Ohhh, where do I start.... I am really really peed off with myself! I have some restriction, but I am creeping back into old eating habits, chocolate and crisps seem to go down too easily, so this is all I seem to live on, that with a fish pie most nights. But then some days, I am able to eat a sandwich and crisps for lunch??!! I am really dissapointed in myself I stopped losing weight before christmas, and have actually managed to put a couple of lbs on too. I had my xray done, and the radiogropher said it all looked good, and that it looked like i shouldnt have any more fills. I havent been to see Dr Chris yet with the copy of the xray, as I havent had the time or money:( I am hoping to go in a few weeks, and get a small fill to hopefully give me a kick up the bum and get this weight shifted, i only want to lose another 28 lb, and I want it gone before summer. This journey has taken me a lot loner than i imagined, the girl i was in hosptal with has already got to target weight before christmas and looks great, we were the same weight when we started Sorry for moaning.

Hi mini me, I had the transfers too and someone was waiting for me in arrivals holding a card up with ECFS on it. Frederick told me what to look out for

Thank you. Do you get the xray there and then, so i could coincide it with an appointment with Dr Chris? xx

Does anyone know where in London, Herts, Beds, Bucks or Northants I can get the barium xray? Everywhere I have found requires a doctors referal. Also, how much is it roughly? Dr Chris said I couldnt get any more fills until I got the xray done

I ate for England in the two weeks running up to my op! Dont worry too much about it x

I have been trying to book a fill on the website, but its not sending me any confirmation email? Is anyone else having any problems?

Also my hands and feet are bloody freezing all the time! lol

Okay, I think I spoke too soon, I most definitely have restriction now, must have been a delayed reaction lol. Claire, I am currently in the process of moving house, so we will have to put our meet on hold for a few weeks if that is okay? Pehaps if anyone else is in the Northampton/Bucks area they might like to join us? x

Just wondering how much everyone has in their band? I went for my fifth fill last Thursday bringing me up to 7.35ml. He tried to get 7.5 in but it wouldn't let him. Does that mean I can't have any more fills now? I still don't think I have got full restriction as I was just able to eat a whole microwave cottage pie, although I am now full, so I do have some restriction, but I expected more by now, what does anyone think?

It's probably best if we leave it until after the easter hols and bank holidays, I dont want to have to tow 4 kids along really lol. Where abouts are you? I am in Hanslope. x

Yeah, would be good to meet a fellow bandster. I go for hopefully my last fill on 28th April. Been a bit strange this week, i've gone from not being able to eat hardly a thing to being able to eat nearly everything in sight! not good with easter coming up lol.

Is that Salcey Forest in Northampton? I only live 2 miles away from there lol I have now lost 4 stone since last August, not as much as I would have liked, but I have fallen into the trap of the liquid fat ie starbucks coffee with cream and bars of chocolate. I have had 4 fills and have modest restriction and am hoping to have the money to have one more at the end of this month in London.

Had my second fill done in London last Thursday by Fred, so now have 5 ml. Cant say it feels any different except food and drink now 'gurgles' when it is going down lol. I am like a few on here in that all my weight lost so far was in the first couple of weeks after surgery and I have only lost 2lb over the last month, so feeling a bit dissapointed, but was ready for this happening as I know from reading on here that it has also happened to quite a few others. I have always had it in my mind not to expect anything until at least my third fill, which I have booked for 25th November in London. :thumbup:

Thank you to those that voted, i don't think she will get in the final though, i think there is quite a lot of cheating going on :thumbup: Oh well, it was worth a try.

Hi, I know this is O/T, but I wondr if you could all vote for my daughter Summer. I have entered her in the facebook competition to become a model for Next. You dont need a facebook account, it is one vote per email address. Can you pass it on to your friends too, thank you xxx BabyCompetition on Facebook

Does anyone know how much a tummy tuck is with Dr Chris, I think I might need to start saving ready for next year lol

Hoe everything is okay for you lemma, let us know how you get on xx

Are you going to London for your fill, thats where I am going. My appointment is at 12.20

OMG, I can completely sympathise with you. I have just got back from a 2 week tour of europe in a motorhome 10 days after being banded. All that fresh bread in France was a nightmare lol (did manage one pain au chocolate though, it took me all day to eat it mind you lol) I found the wine went down a treat too A lot of places served omlets, so I ate a few of them, but one night I ordered steak and potatoes, chewed like crazy, but it had to com back up.

Ticker testing...

Hi, I am 9 days post op, but am feeling hungry quite a lot. It doesnt take much to fill me up, but tonight I was especially hungry and I really felt like I needed something of substance, so I had the middle of a very well done jacket potato mashed up with tuna and mayo and it went down fine. Now I am really surprised by this as I fully expected to be bringing it back up, but I ate half a bowl full and felt absoulutley fine. To be honest, I could have probably eaten a bit more but I was too scared to. Has anyone else felt hungry and ate near normal food this soon after op, or am I the only one in the world this op isn't going to work for? On the up side, I did lose 8lb the first week after op :wink2:

Thank you xxx

Do we need to go back over to belgium for the x ray or can it be done in this country?
