Thanks Gary you really are a very genuine, kind guy but I think Ive got the gist of it and to be truthfull I really dont want to think about it. Just go, knock me out and get it over and done with. My man thinks hes going for a jolly!!! What I might be interested later on though, is maybe going with you to one of the support groups you were talking about if that would be OK. Anyway is there a book on whos going to win the race between you and Bobo and whats the odds? Thanks again J x

Hi all,

I've not been on for ages and theres lots of posts to read. Welcome to all the newies you are in the right place. Between us all there is someone to answer any questions you might have.

I've been to Bristol this morning to have my first fill of 3ml. I was so pleased when weighed to find I have now lost 12 kilo's - YIPPEE........ Although Frederic did warn me that it will slow down now. I don't mind the weight loss slowing down, I'm just sooooooo happy that it won't go back on again.

Good luck to all the peeps being banded soon.

Good luck also to the park prowlers! Ha ha.

Hey guys

just got bank from London for my first fill and Dr Chris said he was really pleased with me, i have lost 21pounds since surgery day!!!!! He gave me the choice of 2, 2 1/2 or 3 ml in my band, i went for three ml as thought i would get my moneys worth!!!!

Also went to harrods and bought a bag and also to maddam tussauds so its been a lovely day!!!!

About the arnica tablets, think this is a new thing people have started taking for surgery on here as i was never advised by anyone to take them so didn't and i didn't get any bruising! Not sure you do get any bruising actually but don't quote me on that!!!!!:wink:

Hi Homecare thanks for that will start on the tablets today then:smile:

im feeling fine looking forward to it just a bit worried incase Dr Chris cant do the surgery for some reason............

mmm mentioned in another post that a friend wasnt aloud to have the surgery done for 3 x months as she had taken zantac??(dont know why)??

i do tend to take the tesco own brand or rennies if i get heartburn anytime so a wee bit worried now:ohmy:

saying that had liver tests done about 8 months ago and everything was fine according to my GP.

being honest sooner the better for me cant wait!:wink:

re the flight i think what happens is if you check in online at least 24 hrs before dept you can print oput your boarding pass then all you have to do is drop off bags at the "bag drop" seemingly?

all the best anyway:cool2:

Well done all you losers especially Odge & Westie. You're all doing fantastic!!!

About the arnica tablets, I've posted a link here from the bbc that you might like to read.

BBC NEWS | Health | Homeopathic remedy 'ineffective'

I am pretty sceptical about homeopathic remedies but I have to admit I am taking the milk thistle tablets " just in case":laugh: I too am a wee bit worried about the state of my liver coz I've given it a battering over the past 20 odd years:ohmy:

BTW Garry, Bobo & Flirty I've been warned about the dangers of the internet and some of the dodgy sites that might corrupt an impressionable young "ahum" girl like me but I am SHOCKED to the core of my apple to find out that this is one such site :thumbup:

Hi Everyone,

I am from Ireland and I am hoping to have surgery with Dr. Chris soon. I have been researching with ages and he seems to be one of the best!

Well, I propbably have a long road ahead of me cos I have about 6 or 7 stone to lose:sad:. I can remember seeing a direct e-mail to Frederik on one of the pages but can't for the life of me find it now, would someone be so kind as to post it? Im hoping to save a few pounds going direct with him. I have so many questions I don't know where to start. A mixture of nerves and excitement at the prospect of (possibly) being a normal? weight for once in my adult life.

Anyways, just wanted to say a big HI, you are all an inspiration to me,

wobbly

      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.
