wishfull 1 Posted June 20, 2009 You want to start taking multi vits a couple of weeks before your op, you take them as your body doesnt get all the nutrients and Vitamins it needs as your diet we limited after your op, my hair started to fall out a couple of months after my op.. glad to say its back to normal now, so it is wise to take them x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauraxx 0 Posted June 20, 2009 Hi everyone, I have been researching the band for several months now.. I was looking at a private clinic in Dublin but the price of 11,000 has forced me to rethink my options. After searching the web I came accross websites with Dr Chris as surgeon and then found this site.. I am so grateful I did there is so much information on here its great. I have a few questions the first.. I have seen people say its cheaper to book direct with Dr Chis, can you let me know which website is for booking direct with him? Also I am in Ireland and was wondering if anyone from here has had the op and can you get fills back here rather than travelling to uk or belgium? If they do them in ireland can you tell me where and how much in euro the fills cost? Also just wondering from a work perspective how to handle the time I will need off, I'd like to know did people take the time as annual leave or sick leave?? I ask because I dont have much annual leave left in work for this year and the thought of waiting till next year kills me! Just wondering if I informed my doc I was going for an op could he give me sick cert for the time off... I'll prob have loads more questions shorty but thats it for now. Thanks Laura Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatduck 0 Posted June 20, 2009 Hey Homecare, How are you getting on with your pre- op diet? I see you've lost 3lbs so you're doing something right. I just can't get into it. I had a chicken curry and 2 bottles of red last night I think its a case of making the most of it whilst i can but I know its wrong! I've tried slapping myself but my will- power is weak :tongue: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a chicken curry and 2 bottles of red last night I think its a case of making the most of it whilst i can but I know its wrong! I've tried slapping myself but my will- power is weak :tongue: I think Ive lost another couple of pounds this week but not wanting to get weighed until just before op. I am doing alright with it sticking to things under 3g of fat per 100g as advised by Gary. Im also not drinking alcohol ie favourite tipple wine as I am partial to a few glasses at night but up until now not really thought of the consequences its doing to my liver. So now Im terrified Dr Chris will open me up and say not today love. your livers in bad condition and not give me the band:crying: I am desperate to get it over and done with.

homecare 0 Posted June 20, 2009 Hi Homecare, Thanks I would imagine mine would do the same, Its just the fact i might be going abroad work might get the wrong impression and think I'm off on a holiday :tongue: Laura xx I am going to Belgium for mine on Thursday so phoning in sick and getting a sick note on Monday. Im not telling work whats wrong with me just that I had an operation. Doctor says that on sick note they write post op. Not what kind of op you had. Its for your future health your doing this not just for vanity you are entitled to time off on medical grounds. Jx:rolleyes2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
