wannabe slinky 4 Posted September 19, 2011 hello everybody, hope everyone is doing well. as for me im ready for my 6th fill as i have not lost any weight over 5 months ! hi laila i know how you feel hun my weight loss has been really slow the last few months and ive stayed the same,my eating differs on different days lol sometimes i can eat quite a bit and other days everything come back up so im gonna try shakes and Soups and see if that helps because the last time i had a fill he told me i dont need anymore as 2ml was comming back out the needle lol,so i will just have to do a bit more exercise and try and get some bit of food in me lol hope your next fill helps hun let us know how you get on xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wannabe slinky 4 Posted September 19, 2011 How frustrating is that! Have you got some restriction? How about the amount you eat? Are you able to eat smaller or slightly bigger portions? What are you eating? Are you doing any exercise? Do hope you get some movement as it can be very demoralising. However, I am sure that once you have the right amount in your band then it will start to work more effectively for you. Would be interested to hear the theories on why this happens fromother bandsters and Dr Chris and his team???? Take care and hope all sorted soon for you. Cx hi clare your doing so well,isn't it funny to think you are underweight as such lol below your target would you of thought it possible this time last year,it's amazing the difference it makes,bet you have been shopping crazy,but it does feel nice to buy things in decent sizes lol well done xxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cadence121 1 Posted September 20, 2011 Yes Ellen - I've bitten the bullet. Paid my deposit today....argh!!!! Wannabe - thanks for the words of encouragement! I think I have a friend coming with me (she's letting me know this evening). I don't think she's fully supportive of it, but she doesn't want me to go by myself either. I can't quite tell if I'm excited or just plain freaked out about this. I finish my contract with work on the 14th, then flying to Belgium on the 17th? It's all so sudden. I guess it'll keep my mind off not having a job though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a total disgrace that they have thier phone switched off for all that time.that has to brought up to frederik because in case of emergency like myself yesterday we r left alone here in northern ireland. I rang julie back and said that I was trying for hours and there is no respond.I ended up ringing frederik and got number of emergency nurse in dublin. and guess again at 7pm I just got to my car and travel all the way down to dublin just for 2 min procedure.I was back home at 1am.The girl is really lovely waited for me and done quick unfill. I am glad I went because I got really bad on the way there, I defenately wouldnt survive another night.I still feel a bit sore because of the swelling but it will get better in a day. As a conclusion to the whole thing we are really neclegted in NI. I thought that if someone is for emergencies means it, Very unresponsible people,should be available in cases like that one. at the moment the main thing is that I feel much better, I very weak and shaky wasnt drinking since monday,just take it easy, it was some lesson learnt and my fill last week was so small only 0.25ml but I couldnt believe how much problem so litlle can cause. thanks for ur help yesterday, blondynurse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MummiesBB 5 Posted September 22, 2011 So sorry to hear about the defill in NI pity they didn't have someone nearer or available. Hope you are soon feeling better. Take care and be gentle with yourself. I had a similar tight experience after my 2nd fill. Very painful my body shut down but I worked through it and did come out the other side! Take care Cx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
