Hospital Group ?

Hi all,

Just an update on THG, I had my first fill today but had to tavel all the way to Kent to have it done. I thought it would be THG hospital..... but it wasnt it was a normal hospital ish that had opened the x-ray/fill bit to service THG. The doctor that did my fill was brilliant and it was totally painless. I am on fluids for the next 72 hours and am starving!! Oh well hopefully I will loose a few more pounds. I havent been very good that last few weeks to be honest food wise and have slipped off the wagon a bit however I have still managed to loose a few more pounds but I think that is down to portion size as I am no where eating the amount I was before. My clothes are getting big now and that is a briliant feeling!! I have now 4.5ml in my band.... the Surgeon only left 1ml in!!! I have a friend who had it done at the same place and they left 4 ml in for her. Wish he had given me more of a head start. I had to complain about the telephone Dietician appointment they had booked for me, that I couldnt attend... left voice mail on the number on the letter and then was called to say I had missed my appointment. Unfortunatley for them I am not one to say nothing and gave them a big old rant, to which they where very helpful from then on and have been ok. I have a dietician appointment in a week or so... so we shall see what happens there. I met loads of women at the fill today that had the same thoughts and fears as me about the band slipping etc, so that was really good. watch this space!! I will be thin LOL

P.s does anyone have a burping problem? everytime I eat or drink I burp like mad!!... very un-lady like!! ha ha ha

Hi Lgvic,

The burping does go away eventually, unless I eat to fast, (I have to agree it is not very lady like).

:thumbup::thumbup:

If I have learnt one thing since my band and that is patience (didnt have a lot before) I wanted everything to happen yesterday but 5 fills and 9.75 ml of fill, at last I have a comprehension of what the band is designed to do. Have lost 4 lb in 5 days after my last fill
