I, too am seeing Dr Mignon on 13th October, so there are 3 of us, I can make out who are pre banding with him. I'm also a member of the WLS site and there are a couple of girls who were banded last week by him!

No probs for them so far. I'm feeling pretty confident about him now!

I was banded on 8th July at the Alexander Mancherster. I lost 2 St 7 lb at present. :wacko: I live in West Yorkshire, Wakefield near Leeds. I so aware how the band has started to change my life. I lack confidence in my personality and body and I feel much more health even though my journey has just begun. I must admit to having a few problem with the excersizing, if anyone can help:help: please do :biggrin1:

Hi there, if you're looking for people who've already been banded by Elyzea, then have a look at WLSinfo.co.uk In the past week two people have been banded there (can't remember their names... sorry!) I'm going to see Dr Mignon myself on Friday, too, but will probably wait until after Christmas.

Thanks for ino about WLSinfo.co.uk i have just registered with the site and am noe trying to work my way round it.

Thanks loopieann :lol:

I know it's the sensible option but I'm impatient to lose some flab in the meantime!

I've been really busy today, went to Swansea, and Cardiff to see clients and then back home. Very impressed with myself as I'm back before 6 for the first time this week.

I'm now beginning to feel a little apprehensive about tomorrow. What if he says I'm not suitable for the op?

OMG! I still have to tell OH what I've decided to do!

Ok, ok... deep breaths, calm calm calm... What will be will be!

Hi anon,

I know what you mean i am trying to lose weight now before i go for my op in may i have worked out i can lose about a stone and i can still have op as my bmi will still be above the 35 required.

Im sure youl be ok and still be able to have op. Ask the doc if you can lose weight in the mean time while waiting for op.

Hope this helps

My BMI is quite low compared to most, at only just 35 at the moment, the problem is that is was 27 in May! and last August it was 45! As you can see I'm either gaining of losing weight, I've never really managed the maintaining part of it :-(. I just don't seem to have the 'off' switch, that says, 'stop now' until I've eaten about 3000 calories in one sitting, which can't be good for you can it? I'm more concerned about the incessant yo-yo dieting that I've engaged in for the past 22 years of my life. I've been slim a few times, but it's just like a bounce on a trampoline, I've no sooner landed, before I'm on the rebound up again. It's just a bit of a nightmare and I want something to help to keep me at the lower end of the spectrum. I only want to be healthy, I don't want to be a supermodel!

Hi anon,

I can see your problem. You have no problem losing it its keeping it off thats the problem.

Hopefully then the surgery is the answer to your problems then as it should stop you putting the weight back on.

Dont worry everything will be alright at the consultation I will be thinking of you. let me know how you get on and when you decide surgery is to be. I know i cant wait to go for mine.

Who are you having surgery with?

Good luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
