Alright gaz just read your about your band sorry to hear it mate.Just hope you need a local to have the op done .Have you been watching what your eating and keeping up the exercise?.

Welcome to the forum galatea.

Welcome Galatea, its a big step to book up for the operation but well worth it, I dont think anyone on here regrets it one bit, read back thro the posts and ask any questions you want, and join in the banter.

Big sis, I'm gutted for you but this band is a funny thing, I put on 1lb last week, I've not eaten any less in fact I've eaten more this week and its come off again, lets hope the same happens to you. You must be so thrilled to be close to 10st thats my target weight I'm so jealous.

Gary have you had a date to go to Belgium yet?

As we're talking babies, I'll give you all a quick update on my daughter, she due mid Oct, and has not yet had any fill taken out, she's 6.5 months now and has put on 7lb in weight, because she has a band her pregnancy has been consultant led and she has had an extra two scans, the last being last wednesday, where the head was the right size, but the baby was 2 weeks bigger than her dates, we now agreed for her to have a glucose tolerance test in two weeks time in case there could be any underlying diabetis,although there are no other symtoms. She is booked into her band consultant for a defill on the 8th august, all is progressing wonderfully and she has'nt had a moments sickness or any other problems.

Everything is now in place if she should need to deliver early, both my house and her house is awash with pink and white frills, we've got lists upon lists of thing we've got ready.

Freckles we now need an update about yours. Whats happening with you reflux, last night was the second night it came back, I read the main causes are smoking, alcohol, and chocolate, I dont drink or smoke so it might be my evening treat of choc, I hope not :crying:

i have pasted below the email i sent to ECFS (frederik/Chris) which hs got me hopefully the result i wanted.

Chris/Frederik

I hope you both are well and you had a nice vacation Frederik.

I met with Dr today and he has diagnosed that I do unfortunately have a leak in my system which he says is through no fault of my own. He has asked me to mail both of you to start the proceedings to ensure I get a speedy repair and continue with my weight loss.

I am very concerned to understand that there “could be a cost involved” for any redo surgery over and above the cost of flights and accommodation and this causes me great upset and worry especially when I have done nothing to cause this. I am in no way unhappy with ECFS service until now and do not blame Chris Deprez, it is unfortunately one of those things that need to be fixed and very quickly. As you both know I regularly meet and chat to potential ECFS (Dr Chris) future patients and pass on my knowledge and good experiences from your service and please be assured that this will continue.

I have no holiday or time restraints stopping me from coming to Belgium therefore I need this arranged immediately as I understand Dr Chris is on vacation at the end of August and I do not wish to wait any longer for this to be resolved. Can you please reply to this mail urgently letting me know what the situation regarding time slots and the gentle solution you mentioned in your mail below.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Soft, gently but too the point.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
