Good luck suefee. Westie will that be 4 weeks since you had your op when you get your first fill on the 18th? Tee bird I can imagine its hard after having the band fitted and having no restriction, How long do you reckon the restriction wears off after operation. I know everyone is different but just a rough guide ie. do you think you could eat everything that you could before?

Hey homecare, yeah, my swelling went enough after about 10 days that i started feeling hungry so i went onto mushies and solid foods too early. My weight stopped moving so i went back onto liquids,yoghurt, slimfast cadbury light mousses, jelly and Soup 2 days ago so the weights moving again. and another 2 pounds off! But when i'm not on liquids I can pretty much eat anything except fresh bread, toast is fine etc etc, chips are way to easy to eat and are the devils food!...... x

Hi mandy im having a fill next week in manchester at 12 so shud see you there, i cant eat bread at all as it really hurts and just wont go down so i just dont even try it any more.. fingers crossed once you have your fill your weight will start to move again x

Hey wishfull and Mandyfielding, i too am getting filled on the 11th at 12.15 (i think!) so it would be gr8 to meet you both then!

Mandy, don't worry about the liquids thing, i spoke to coleen at WLS the other day and she said that it's best for your inflammation if you stay on liquids and mushies before your 1st fill anyway, your doing fine x

Yeah it will, it'll be my first fill, then two weeks after, i start my package with WLS so i should have had my first 3 fills by 7 July. I just know that if i keep my fills regular and frequent, i should start losing weight quickly enough and keep motivated! Does anyone recommend WLS? I've gone with the 6 month package in Leeds and Harley St and Coleen says i can be filled every 2 weeks if i need it? x

I would of gone for the wls but there isnt 1 anywhere near where i live, so manchester is the best option for me. this will be my 4th fill so hope it will get me a decent restriction x

hi there

I would recomend you go with the ecfs package which is 4070 euro ( i think) this includes collection from airport, hotel and taxis to and from hospital. I think the bookings are bout 4 weeks in advance but you would be better to contct frederc who is Dr chris right hand man and does all the organising. On the travel front it is dependend where you are, if in london i think the train is pretty good otherwise i would fly to belgium international. If you sy got there on thurs, your op would be fri and then trvel homw sunday.

keep the questions coming you arenot alone on this site nd we are pretty confident we cn answer just about everything.

Yes I can defo recommend WLS, they are great. I did the same thing as you, went to Manchester for my 1st fill (as I couldn't wait!!) and then to WLS. I've had just 3 fills and have very good restriction. I agree with Boobaldy, you will get to ur sweet spot within the 6 months as long as u get regular fills! x

Hi michelle, welcome to the forum.. try and get chance to read back the pages which will be a massive help, i booked everything separate but the package does work out a little cheaper and of course you dont have the hassle of booking the hotel, flights or taxis as it is all taken care of, its the best thing i have ever done for myself and dont regret having my band, any questions just ask away someone on here will be able to help x
