Hi Freckles, good luck for your daughter,one might not see the change quickly but eventually having the band dose change your life! I have lost 10kg over 2 months I lost most of it the first 2 weeks of the opp and then another 3kg after my first fill, it is slow but without the band I wouldn't have been able to do it and maintain it as well!

Thanks for getting back to me. Shame - I sleep on my stomach on the left - but hey at least he'll know where to find it if everyone is the same!! Totally excited now - wonder if I can get a small bottle of champagne from the bar at Eurostar in London - do you think its ok to have alcohol the day before surgery????

Oh Lilliebo, you poor thing, I'm so sorry you felt so much pain. We all differ so much dont we.

Maybe the Bupa filled me with Morphine, cos the first time I felt a bit stiff but not too painful, the second time my port area was really stinging, but I know that was due to the fact that my surgeon had to detatch the old band and stitch the new one in, involves a bit of scraping/cutting as it attaches itself naturally.

You shouldnt have had to keep asking for pain relief, I think thats dreadful, surely they realise that we're all different???

I must tell my daughter if she feels badly in pain like you did to insist on pain meds.

The directions you have given are great, did you notice a shop that sold cigarettes on the way? I know there's one about 500 metres from the hotel but not sure in which direction :blushing: .

Amazed, good luck for Wednesday hunny. You'll prolly be staying in your room when you come out of the hospital, what day do you leave Belgium?

We dont get there until about 7pm, but if I get a chance I'll look you up.

If you're in the foyer/bar area? Watch out for us arriving, I am tall and blondish, my daughter is short and dark lol, and I'm old and scrawny looking.

Thanx for noticing that I'm nearly at goal, so happy, its something that I would do over and over if I had to, the best friend I've ever had, my sweet band.

Been meaning to say, my band holds 9ml and I only have 5.25ml in atm and am at my sweet spot. So that shows you how different we all are.

Needless to say I have spent a damn fortune on fills getting here, it was either too tight or not tight enough.

I had my last fill in July, and had the ole reflux for a long time, thank God its now passed.

      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.
