Hi Heresdeb,

Thks for the above info. Im trying to get a consultation with Shaw Somers. I think he is great after watching him on Fat Doctor. Im already filled to the max yet after losing near 2stone, I put on another 1/2 stone, and now my weight have stop totally. But I suffers from an underactive thyroid so I wonder it thats the reason I cant lose weight despite being banded so tight. So I want someone to do an xray check on me to see my port is still working. I was banded in Belgium. I wont fault them cos the operation went well, but aftercare is abit lacking and dissapointing.

Is anyone having there fills with Shaw Somers and what are his price's now? I did contact him but that was a year ago.

thanks

Mr Shaw Somers works at Portsmouth Hospital, private patients only I think.

He is doing my banding on the 16th at St Richard's in Chichester.

If you google Anne Diamond, there is a youtube type interview with hime and her. It goes on a bit, but you get to see what you think. Have not yet managed to watch all the way through.

omg lol I had to look twice at that then look somemore

I have my first consult with Chris De Bruyne in Edinburgh next month and I too am "Finnsmum"

Good choice of name and hopefully surgeon :smile:

I had my surgery with Chris De Bruyne in Belgium. He comes to the UK several times each month to do fills in London, Edinburgh, Dublin and Bristol from September.

From what I remember he charges £75 for a fill. If you call his secretary I'm sure she can give you more details...

      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.
