Thank you all.

make sure you have windeeze,pain killers ie calpol 6+,dressings for your wounds,milk shakes, and take Vitamins chewable ones and cup a Soup, take a mug as they only have plastic cups in hotel, nurofen melts are good too,and for hospital just take washbag,handtowel, loose clothing for afterwoods and slip on shoes,and motilum for nausea, that just from reading the threads lol good luck im not going till july cant wait

Hi Everyone

Sorry i am a bit behind but i found out i was pregnant a few weeks ago so its been a bit mental.

So looks like we will be having a band baby join us. Considering i have rubbish ovaries and was told i probably wouldnt be able to have children...its amazing how losing weight and being healthy can change your whole life!

xx

Congratuations, that is good news and gives me hope as a PCOS sufferer as I am really hoping that the band will help me get pregnant too. C x

Hi Chrissie arrived back home.... bubbles stilll bubbling round but feel much better now home.Was lovely to meet you all over the weekend giving each other lots of support.

I got bit worrid before as i sneezed something went pop in my tummy but it was lower down than op sites. Slept quite well last night on my side too xxxxxxx Hope everyone got home safe and well xx lovely to meet everyonex:thumbup:

Hello Jackie, Glad you doing ok. We got home safe too although was completely done in from all the walking at both airports, and was very sore last night, also had a little cry, but I think its just the realisation that I have actually gone and done it. Not much sleep either been up since 3am.

Was great meeting everyone and being able to share the experience, can't wait to see how we all do, I've already lost 5lbs, which is great but still realing suffering the after effects of the barium, the liquid diet is going straight through, literally! so think that is alot to do with it.

Keep us updated on your progress, love to Mike and Evie xx

Good luck on this next step in your life, when are you due?.

WOW shoes you've done amazing so pleased for you.

Gary, hows your throat now, hope its a lot better. its great to hear how well you weight loss is going, at this rate you wont be long getting to your chosen weight :thumbup:

hi mags

yes throat seems to have settled, i went to docs and got an antibiotic as i hope it was an infection and not my band as i was reluctant to have any defil especially when i have good controlable restriction.

I hope to be at my first target by summer and hope when i get there that i dont want to loose more, i need to get the weight out my head and focus on inches as the training i am now doing is putting on muscle but my shape has changed imensely.

How r you doing.

Good luck to the ones away to get banded .Its not till next year homcare so have a bit to weight .Good for you not putting any on when you were away.I lost 2lb which takes me under the 15st mark which is a another confidence boost i will be getting a defill next month as im going on hol so that will be a challenge when i have no restriction.Great stats gaz it wont be long till you get under that magical 20st mark.I knew it was a big milestone for me.I think you will revise your goal once you get nearer it as thats what i have done.I thought to my self if i can get to 16st why can i not get to 15st but great weight loss keep up the good work.

Al

your probably right, thanks for the support.

Hi guys and gals thought it was about time I checked in. Had my second fill yesterday and it has certainly made a difference. I was feeling a bit fed up having not lost a nano ounce in the last month but I saw Chris for the first time and he was very good and supportive. Also saw the gang mmm and others in the waiting room and as usual they gave me hope seeing how well they have all done. Chris put 2mls in so I am up to 5mls now and just on the Soup at the moment and can only eat little of that so thats good news. Were your ears burning Gary!! mmm said how fit you were and on the day after the op you were jogging arownd the town, unlike me gently walking in the hotel.haha Glad to hear you are doing so well and the weight is falling off again for you. Your amazing. Hopefully I am back on track now and won't be feeling hungry so much. Good luck all you due to be banded and the new bandsters keep up the good work everyone.

aw thanks barbs, i am bordering on blushing here.

I am pleased you feel a difference with fill, that means the next one should be u at sweet spot.

Keep it up.

Had .4 of a ml taken out which has eased the throat and stopped the night cough, and thank goodness I've still got quite good restriction, but am able to take in a bit more fluids, so all in all success at last, and with a bit of comfort.

I'm going to France Good Friday for a week and now feeling much better,

Hi Shoes I had 6.5ml in a 7ml band, and had everything taken out for 1 month, this then reset my system to react as if the band was newly fitted.

I then had 4.8ml in for two months then 1.1ml in which took me to 5.9ml, this was immediatly was too tight but I wanted it to work but the night cough and reflux came back. This month I had point 4 of a ml (not 4mls) out taking me to 5 .5mls. This level so far had given me restriction but without the night time problems however I dont know how long its going to last. Its really strange how 6.5ml worked for such a long time without problems, and then started to play up.

Hope this info helps mmmxxx
