Recommended Posts

I'm off to see Michael in a couple of hours for the verdict, he will be able to tell if i have a leak, with how much he takes out, I am looking on the bright side and hoping I still have at least 2 mls in.

I was reading on the American thread about people who have had their tubing pierced by fills, you wouldnt believe it. Very scarey, so be VERY selective whom you choose to do your adjustments girls.

Will be back later to give you the result.

You're very welcome HC, the people in this thread are the salt of the earth. We have all been in the same boat and we know how you feel.

We have girlies going to be banded this weekend here, so you may want to keep reading to watch for their return.

You'll be glad you did.

I have joined loads of different weight loss forums, but have never found such a great thread as this one.

I love each and every one of the people on here.

Thank you for your good wishes HC xx

Hi Everyone,

Well the time is flying by, 2 weeks Tuesday................ Some days I am so excited and other days I am full of doubts (whether I'll be OK), silly I know, after all you have all been through it. I just want it to be sucessful.

Can anyone tell me what part of London do you go for your fills? I am trying to get myself organised in my head before I go to Belgium so that I know what question to ask - I think I will write the all down otherwise I will forget!

Hi Westie. Dr Chris/Frederik do there fills on Harley Street (not sure the number - just at the back of Oxford St so I pop in to do a bit of shopping too!). I've been to WLS group today at 10 Harley Street. They are great and I've signed up for a 6 months aftercare package where you can have unlimited fills (£349.50). They are in London every other weekend Sat and Sun so I've been able to get a fill every 2 weeks which is fab! Gillian, Bigsis and a few others use WLS too. Your time will soon be here and u are making the best choice!!

Hi Tanyac

I'm being banded on 26th, shame its not the same day as you!! I've been looking for someone being done the same day as me too. Your Mum is bound to be worried, I would be if it was my daughter, tell her that you are doing this for yourself and you've looked into it and made the choice.

By reading the posts on this site EVERYONE has said that they don't regret doing it! There is so much information and help from people that are going through each stage of it all that there is someone to ask if you have a question. I've always asked and someone has always been able to answer even the silliest questions. They are a great group of people. Hope this helps..... Westie x:smile:

Hi All .........Thanks for the warm welcome.

Gary can you give me details of where to find the 'all in package'. I've had a look but cant seem to see it anywhere.:eek: .......I rang yesterday and might be able to get the surgery for the end of July. Dont really want to wait that long but I work for education and we're not allowed time off outside of school hols.

I was interested to read about the Kelp tablets for Hair loss, wonder if i would be worth taking them before the surgery!!!

Jackie xx

jackie, Im also in education, so going at start of summer hols (3rd july) to get banded so im back at beginning of tems and no one is any the wiser, I have booked all inclusive package, if you privately give me your details I will send you what frederik sent me which is all your options, prices, and all you need to know. Im happy to do this for anyone else too.

Good Luck everyone who's about to be banded - I can't wait for it!

Penny

Michael took out 2.9mls, so there's no leak. I am sooooo relieved.

He said ok, I will put in 5 now, and then you have to drink a cup of Water while you're here.

As per usual I had a bit of trouble getting it down, and he got onto it straight away as much as I tried for him not to see, cos on my first fill I was the same, then the next day no restriction...and I told him that. He didnt care.

And he insisted he take some out:unsure: He said he had a bad feeling about it, and didnt want me to be overfilled over the weekend.

I now have 4.5 mils in, my band which holds between 9 & 11 mils.

At least I'm on my way woo hoo :glare:

      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.
