Hi all, i have just been banded 12th february and hopefully all going well. I hope to join your forum and look forward to supporting others at the same time. How are u all getting on, and any tips welcome. As i hope this 6k is the best money i have spent after years of silly diets. i am hoping to lose approx 3 stone and hopefully stop bingeing, as this is my downfall. I hope this will control my portion sizes and get back to normal.

look forward to joining

Hi Shirley - how are you getting on?? did you go with the hospital group? I was banded on Feb 3rd with them, mine went so well, really hope yours did too! if youre getting on anything like me then 3 stone will drop off by the summer! im 4 weeks in and 23lbs down - it is amazing, cant beleive i didnt do this sooner! Im now at your staring weight of 101kg :)

this forum thing seems to work for lots on here, but i was doing well on my own so didnt need to rely on it as much as i thought i would, so i havent really been logging on, i noticed you havent been on for a while so maybe you found the same? I only just got your email - thanks and sorry for not replying sooner! deffo up for buddying up if you think it would be good for us to support each other ? xnic

Hi everyone

I am getting banded on the sixth of April 2011

Using a group called gravitas have any one used them?

Costing £5590. And the option 2 of extra insurance for 5 yrs.

Has any one else added the extra insurance for anything that might go wrong which cost an extra £1500

Any advice of what u took pre op and then week after

Would be appreciated

Many thanks for including me

Jill

      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.
