Hi everyone.Congratulations to everyone who has been banded.It,s nearly 5 weeks since I was banded, I have lost 18lb I can't believe it. I have had some problems with being sick and it not at all nice,I've realised it's when I have'nt eaten for a while and probaly eating to quicky. I am still quite sore where the port is if I sit for a long time it starts to ache and it's quite tender to touch.I have read about having fills. I live abroad at the moment and I've read about people having to be defilled so they can fly. I will be flying back after the fill so can anyone explain if its safe to fly??

I came out of hospital today and am back at the hotel.. feeling sh*tty.. really painful. The pain killers dont seem to do anything at all for me. I didn't have much pain until the drain was pulled out but since then its been awful.

A lovely lady I shared a room with went to have the op but CDB couldn't do it cos he discovered health problems during it. Feel so bad that she's been through all this for nothing, she really doesn't deserve it at all :redface:

hi emsey, congratulation now that you are banded!! well a quick remedy to relieve pain is to stick both your hand in a bucket of ice, i saw it on TV once then i tried it when i had a toothache to my surprise it work! do you know what kind of health problem the woman had?? I'm a bit worried myself as I am borderline anaemic i don't know if that will be a problem, because i have not been able to donate blood because of that.

I like Pearce stepped on the scales this morning and had lost 9 lbs and 4.5 inches. Absolutely brilliant.

I have struck a deal with my Herbalife distributor (hubby) for a brilliant package of £32 per month for Forumala 1 and vitamins/minerals. Will do Breakfast and lunch and then a healthy eveing meal.

If your interested visit Herbalife to find out more and for contact details. He's going to be my Shape up coach, for those that have met him, he has taken a leaf out of the book and decided to lose weight! Yippee. Positive effects all round.

Have a good evening and congrats to those that have also weighed today and those that were banded.

Very sad about the lady who wasn't able to be banded how disappointing for her. Hope all is well and she is able to have it done at a later date.

Hi, firsts a big thanks, reading the pages on this site gave me the motivation to take the plunge and book my place with Dr Chris on 10 September. My heart was racing when I clicked send and the deposit was paid! No going back now.

Has anyone travelled from Charleroi airport to the hotel? I have email Frederik but he hasn't got back to me yet.

Another question, I have read about the drain but on another forum, they talked about a catheter, does everyone need one? Anyone else going the same day as me?

      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.
