Live in Ireland & Done in Ireland

Hey guys I had my band fitted in Dublin with the Park West Clinic ... I can't say enough good things about them ;)

Price was great and no hassle having it done just pay and go lol x

I'm hoping to find fellow Irish Bander's on here for chats on the up & downs of living with our bands ... I'm only 8 weeks banded so still at the learning stages so all advice welcome ...

Hi

I had my band fitted with ACS in 2007 and we all know how that turned out!! Anyway I have been getting after care from ECFS who come here twice a month however it now looks like my band is not working, its at maximum restriction but I can eat three times the amount I used to eat a year ago and I have put a stone back on. Feel sick at the thought of all that work I put in going to waste and I will end up putting it all back on. ECFS think my band needs to be replaced and have offered my a good price, my previous surgeon (with ACS) offered to replace the band for €5,000 but I am worried about going abroad, Auralia in Dublin have quoted a price of €7,500 with a band that has been medically approved with a year's after care.

I was just wondering what bandsters think, my family don't understand how important it is to me, that I don't put this weight back on also I had hoped to loose another 3 stone before this happened.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      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.
