Hi Caroline

I too was banded by Mr Toh but in Farnham, Clare Park. When were you banded and how is it going?

Best wishes

Lisa

Any one close to me? I'm 27 years old and am hopefully having my band fitted in the 1st or 2nd week of April (in spring hols)

Can't wait..... I hope there are no hurdles or hold ups as I'd like a weight loss before summer when my boyfriend wants to go on a diving hol. It's only so that I won't need half a ton of diving weights to keep me from floating to the bloody surface! HAHA :tt2:

(that's not the only reason I want the band... I've been wanting it for 3 years now....)

Gill :-) :rolleyes2:

If your having the Band on the NHS don`t be too suprised if they cancel on the last minute because they have no beds. I was gutted when mine was cancelled 8 hours before the op because the surgeons wife had been taken into hospital. I had to wait a further 2 months then for my op. The op was pain free and I felt brilliant after but I did take Vitamins & Q10 to build me up before the op.

hi there,

I'm Tracie not far from Clacton in Essex.

Recently moved here only last year.

I was banded on June 9th in Prague.

So far so good although I have constant growling in my chest area and Ive heard about gasx but they dont seem to sell it in uk so anything that would help get rid of this would be greatly appreciated as it keeps me awake its so loud!!

i would love to meet anyone who is nearby.

I look forward to reading about your experiences

oh, I started dieting on 26th May and I started off at 16 stone 11 and on the day of my banding I weighed 16 stone 1 and today I am 15 stone 6.

Does anyone know any fill dr's near to me or where I could look?

Thanks alot

Tracie :frown:

Hi, I'm originally from dundee but I've lived in oman for 30 years and I'm wondering if it's ok that I hang out with all of you. I spend two months of the year in the uk, either in Neath of Perth, every year.

I was banded here in Oman last Monday and I'd doing great, I'm starving and wondering what I can have this week.

thank you

      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.
