Hello Everyone. Just a story to let some of the newer bandsters know, I was banded September 23rd and now, 9 months later I am only 15 lbs. until I hit my goal. It is remarkable.

I've haven't had to be adjusted since January and I have 4 cc. in my 7 cc. band. I have absolutely no regrets about the band or Dr. Chris. And I tell everyone who asks because it has been wonderful for me.

waht fantastic news!!! i can't wait to have mine done now:smile2: i am so pleased i booked with dr chris he sounds like a great surgeon.

Hi

I also asked this question and was told it was because the fizzy bubbles expand the pouch, dont know if this effects it permanently or not tho

Thank you for the kind words.

Wannabe, with me food has quit being an issue (!!!) amazingly. Instead of it being the treasure I want to dive into, it's become something to keep me from getting weak and dizzy.

Even with only 4cc, I tend to be on the tighter restriction side. So, in the mornings I either only have coffee and maybe a small yogurt if I am hungry. lunch is usually some salmon and dinner is whatever I make for the family.

And it really has gotten to the point that I don't think THAT much about what I'm eating because I never eat enough for it to be terribly bad for me. I made ooey gooey lasagna last nice and it was good, but I only had a sliver.

So, I stick to Protein first and then a vegetable or something if I'm not full.

My BIG weakness is ice cream, this is a new addiction. But, when I indulge, I will usually choose to have an ice cream cone INSTEAD of a meal.....poor nutrition I know but SO GOOD and I do it in moderation.

That was a lot of words for no answer, huh? hahahahah

Don't know if anyone is interested, but Vanessa Feltz has now had a gastric band fitted AND she went to Belgium for it! Her story is in this week's OK magazine......Wonder did she have it done with Dr Chris?

yes i wondered that !! i have heard he has done more gastic band operations than anyone else in europe so i would not be surprised. I bet we will never find out what surgeon it was that did her it will all be hush hush!

[happyflower 1]

how exciting!! I wonder how we can find out about Vanessa Feltz maybe it will be in OK MAG which surgeon she used. i think dr chris is meant to be one of the most famous surgeons in europe and if she went to beligum then i guess that maybe its with him....but it would be good to find out.

WOO HOO - just got into a pair of jeans that I have had for years and never been able to get into - delighted

Not weighed myself but reckon I am almost at the 2 stone point now which is fabulous.

2nd Fill has made a difference and is really limiting what I eat and when but main thing it is taking my focus away from food as not really hungry.

Getting into my dream wedding dress next September is seeming more and more achievable by the day.

Good luck to everyone going off to be banded shortly - I am sure that just like me you will be making the best decision you have ever made

Hello All

Vanessa Feltz went to St Elizabeths in Ghent with Dr Marc Focquet fitted her with a gastric band.

Good that she has been so open about it.

Take care

I've heard of Dr Marc, I'm sure I spoke to a lady in Manchester fills, she said he was the only surgeon around atm that would fit Bands if you only had a 25 bmi.

She had dieted all her life to stay slim and was sick of it, so he is the fella to see apparently. I remember thinking about my size 12 daughter who has a BMI of 25 and wants a band for the same reason.

Good on Vanessa.
