Hi Gillian just wondered if you could give me wendy's number for WLS!!!! (think its wendy)!

its the free phone number on the WLS site..if you cant get through leave a message and they get back, also leave an email..the woman who organises the fills appointments is colleen. wendy wont fill you though until you are 6 weeks post op..cos it takes 4 to 6 weeks for op swelling to settle (even tho you cant feel it cos not many nerve endings in stomach or summat)

Hi Everyone,

Thanks Flirty for meeting me today. It's great to meet someone in the flesh that is living testiment that the band does work, even though I know you said you had no restriction. Like you I'm hoping it will click something mentally!!

I just called Wendy in WLS. She is so nice. I was on the phone for 40mins with her. It's £699 for a 12month aftercare package which includes dietician, fills, trouble shooting etc. She seems to be genuinely interested in helping people. She said she'd give me 3ml on my first fill (6wks post op) then 2ml then another 2ml by which time she really feels I'll have found my sweetspot. She said I can go to see her twice in a month, in Belfast and Dublin. I'm really much happier now knowing I will have help at the end of the phone. Not forgetting all you guys, which is an invaluable source of knowledge. Are all of you using WLS happy with them?

Role on June 12th!!!

      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.
