Hello Bansters and all the newbies!

Congratulations Scooby Doo x x x

Hope everyone had a Good Crimbo & New Year.

I lost 8lbs Christmas week taking me to 19lbs lost in the last 5 weeks, 63lbs in total now and boy have people started to notice since I have been back to work this week after the Crimbo break.

Finally broke my silence and told someone at work what I'd had done, as I couldn't lie to her about how I'd lost weight when she was asking me for tips. She is totally intrigued and wants all Dr Chris's info as she is considering it herself.

The last few weeks have been tough as still having odd days when I can't keep a thing down, but now that the scales have started shifting again I feel great! My whole body is changing and it is amazing to see it and feel it.

Chucked out loads of fat clothes and cut off all my long hair into a little bob cos my confidence is growing. Went for my first run yesterday too which was ok actually, want to start doing that 2-3 times a week as I need to start firming up.

Good luck to everyone to those already on this journey, and of course to all those about to start it.

Hi Slinky

I have had 4 fills now so have got 7.5 mls in my band, I had 5 month gap between fill in June and my last one in Nov due to a holiday and then lack of funds, so would have been much further along my journey now had I had a fill sooner. Hey ho I'm on my way now.

What I am struggling with most is the amount of mucus I have which seems to block the band all the time and takes up to 4 or 5 productive burps before I can keep down my little bits of food.

sometimes just swallowing a few times creates a layer which then has me dashing off to the loo and bringing most of the food from say an hour before back up, and drinking Water at any time seems to make mucus worse, so all I have to drink most days is cranberry or pomegranate juice which seems to cut through it and pass ok. Very odd.

pureed food just doesn't work for me either, but lots of liquid does, so lots of gravy on a few matchsticks of meat is good. Soups and petite filou are my staples.

Does anyone else have the issue with mucus?

Hi All

I was banded back in Macch last year (2010) and I've a great weight loss, just over five stone, which is wonderful, and I havn't had a fill since August - all good so far!

Until this week I got a bug from my son and for a few days at the start of week was feeling very unwell with an upset stomach which lasted no more then 48 hours but since I've hardly been able to keep anything down, even today some Water came up all I've managed to eat today is an M&S fish cake and even that I could only eat half, I feel really tired as I'm not getting much at all into me.

Has anyone had this?

Thanks

Hi peoples, not been here for a while, the last was when I treated myself to a de-fill begining of December.

I put on 4lbs up to Boxing day which wasnt bad, but since then have put on another 5lbs, so annoyed at myself, its gonna take me 3 months to get that off now.

Going for a fill on Thursday 13th Jan, so I hope Freddyboy can get the 3mls back in, I'll die if he cant.

This has taught me that if ever I want a break from the damn acid reflux then I only need to get 2mls out.

I only have 3.5mls in now and can eat anything and in fairly good portions too.

My daughter looks slimmer but says she hasnt lost anything except the initial 5lbs. She only has 3mls in but is going for her second fill the same day as me.

Hope everyone had a good Xmas and New Year and good luck to all the pre-bandsters, you wont ever regret it.

Hi Slinx, have missed your banter lol

FF's why have I got an advert in my post, this is not good That is taking the psssssst

Hello All

Happy New Year! Taken me a while to get on been hit by jetlag really badly still not really turned around and we have been back a week.

Congratulations to all those going to be banded and those that are having steady results. For those that have indulged it will come off be patient.

Over the three weeks we were away I lost quite a bit.

Total loss is 59.5 pounds and 50 inches. The walking really helped and I feel much fitter.

So another 41.5 pounds.

Had an interesting appointment with my GP on Friday who did a double take bless him and was beaming from ear to ear about how much I had lost. I went to see him about a breast reduction/lift. In 2004 I was referred and accepted onto the list and the criteria was a BMI of 30 imagine how gutted I am to be so close to this and be told that the criteria is now a BMI of 25! Okay so new target set but he wouldn't refer me as he said it would be rejected as my BMI is 32.3. So I have to go back in a few months and see where I go from there. I really would like this done over the summer holidays so I have 6 weeks recovery.

I have enquired with Frederik as well. I would rather not pay for it especially as I had the funding before so shall perservere. NHS funding seems to be so stringent. I have really bad ezcema under the breasts and in the cleavage area and the pain in my shoulders and upper back has been phenomenal since I lost weight. I also have a vertebra missing (T10) which makes my back a little more unstable. So all in all the weightloss has really helped but I am in quite a lot of pain and have locking up in the shoulders frequently.

Anyway the journey has been interesting and I am so pleased that I had this procedure done. I feel renewed, a lot healthier and happier. People at work have started to notice and I have been very open and honest about it and said what I have had done. When I reach my next target 75 pounds I am going to Celebrate (not sure how but I will think of something!).

Take care and have a good Sunday.

Claire

hi slinky,

thanks for ur reply earlier on. I have my flights booked, deposit paid. now just waiting for the D day. I keep thinking alot about it sometimes having second thoughts but I think it's normal.there is so many Q in my head and really no one to talk to. But I try to deal with it different ways. I was thinking, could u tell me if the rest of the money can be paid by credit card or it has to be cash...?maybe u know anybody who did it by credit card, I know u transferred all ur money to the account but was just wandering.Its a bit scary to carry all that cash.

thank u

hope u r ok

all the best and talk to u soon.
