Hi Terry.This is Jeromes address jerome@manuceau.net

What makes you think your band has slipped. From what I know from other cases you would be very sick, and not able to keep anything down. It sounds like you are still wide open, you may have a leak. That's what happened to me. I was going to Dublin for fills every month, and nothing was happening then I went to Jerome to have a look, and he told me I had no Fluid in there, it was a big shock. I'm so glad he is the one going to fix it. Ill be heading of Monday week cant wait. If you need any more information pm me.

Magner how are you doing haven't heard from you in a while were you back up this month for a fill. I tried to pm you but it wont allow me in let us know how you are doing your not alone.

Love Roe

Hi angie. I've travelled a bit since the band and never set off an alarm. I thought I was setting off shop alarms for months but I discovered there was a security device under a sticker on a tube of make up :tongue2: Once I got rid of that there were no more incidents.

I got a booklet with a card in it from Dr. Chris after the surgery.

How did you all get on with your fills? Hope there is some good restriction out there!:mellow:

Hi- just joined today- had my surgery done in march 07 with acs and the infamous jerome- i rang a solicitor re the situation with acs and they would not take my case as they say there is nothing they can do as the company is gone into liquidation and there are no common directors with the hospital group to chase????

i rang acs last week re a fill and they told me that i would have to go to belfast and pay for the pleasure-they say they have a long list of clients who need a fill so i am on a waiting list and the uk office will ring me when they can give me an appointment- this is such a joke-

imagine paying 10k for an operation and then receiving no aftercare- by the way when i spoke to the solicitor he gave me the name Dr Justin Geoghegan who specialises in banding in loughlinstown and if u can get a letter of referral from ur gp he will put u on his list and treat u-his list is very long- did u hear anything about debbie having a new practice on pearse street in dublin?

let me know if there is anything i can do - re meetings, lobbying etc- i didn't know anything about meetings etc- and there must be plenty of other ex patients like me out there-

has anyone contacted that guy in the daily mail who did the article on acs?

talk soon

M

      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.
