Any Shropshire/ West Midlands bandsters?

Hi all,

Just wondering if there is any one who lives in the Shropshire/West mids area who is going to have or had a lapband fitted?

Looking forward to hearing from you

Kind regards

Hello,

My name is Jenny and I live in the West Midlands - near Merry Hill Centre (great for late night shopping!!)

I had my op in February and after an initial weight loss of 2 stone - my last two fills have not worked and I have put on 1/2 a stone. They think I have a slow leak as I have restriction to start with - then after a couple of weeks it is gone!!

I will probably have to have another op to repair the leak - not looking forward to that!.

I did have a fill on Monday - 3ml in a 4ml band - fantastic restriction - wish it would last though!

I didn't see whether you have had the band yet or not. Good Luck in whatever you do.

Jenny

Hi Jenny,

I have been to the Merry Hill Centre, your right it is a great place to shop!

Sorry to hear that your lapband may of sprung a leak! Lets hope it gets sorted for you soon.

I will be having my lapband fitted on the 24th October in Chimay belgium by Dr Mignon or one of his associates. I'm excited and terrified all at once. I keep having emotional swerves sometimes even contemplating not having the op at all! But, I know it is the right thing for me to do, its just the waiting that is the killer, too much time to think!

I would love to hear about your experineces and how you have dealt with it all.

Kind regards

Suzanne
