A quick Hello from er in the U.K.



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,:w00t:

my name is Caz I am 47 & quite a new bandie, I was banded in May of this year & to date I have lost 3 stone, sorry 42lbs. (we use stones er in the U.K.)

I have had one band fill under xray & I am having another fill next week. I have had my op in the private sector, as my start B.M.I. was only 39 & in order to get it free on our N.H.S. (all medical services are free here in the U.K.) I had to have a B.M.I. of 50 so I paid £6000.00 but it was worth every last penny:biggrin:

I am still trying to work with the band, & if anything, I now realise all my eating habits are in my head? I have trouble eating bread & meats, but i will keep trying, I am always sick after these troublesome foods, but always go back & try to finish:confused:

so any advice on what to eat, would be of a great help. Or just to have new friends, is great.

Hope to hear from you all.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
