Hi Flirtylass thank you so much for your reply i just cant understand it i was the same as you it wasn't as sore after surgery as it is now, does yours hurt more after you eat do you feel like it hurts when you bend down lol:confused:

Hi bobbaldy she says they dont offer 6 months packages to new banders its only 12 months or 18 months. A bit dissapointed. J x:closedeyes:

ill ask wendy on tues when i go.. id be suprised at em doing that?. esp with credit crunch at mo, people cant afford it and it wasnt that long ago that we took the half price special offer too, as they wanted custom, so sounds not very good of them if they have! x

I might cancel my 6 month package for this reason: I've just received the paperwork from WLS and it seems all a bit expensive when i may not need it. Am i right in thinking that the initial assessment of £120 with WLS is not included in the 6 month package of £349? That's the way i read the paperwork today. Can anyone shed any light please. It all seems like a lot of money when i already paying for the first fill with Frederick, second fill with initial assessment and then if i only need 3 fills, i've only got one fill out of that £349 package!

Does anyone have any advice for me? Do you think i should cancel and do them every 2 weeks paying as i go along?

Thanks, T x

hi guys, on the wls thing i dont personally use them but from reading between the lines i am quite dissapointed in what i read, up till today i have heard good things and a big plus point of them is the 6 month package however it seems to me that they had got quite a lot of enquiries and no doubt a lot from this forum however they now seem greedy and change the goalposts for new bandster. This would really p*ss me off. Does anyone else think the same as me or is it just my synical mind.

Hi Guy's im still getting port pain it comes and goes it gets worse when i eat like a bad stitch can any please shed some light on this i am 12 weeks post banded its really bugging me just worried it has flipped over has any one experience this please

hi shoes, i had that pain really bad, whenever i got up off the settee , bent over or twisted, i had it for about a month, then it went for about a week then came back for about another month.it then stopped..it is just the muscles underneath when you tense up, also when sneezing,coughing and laughing, i had to hold it in first!..as you lose some weight it will go, my fill nurse described it being sewn in like a button and when you are loosing weight it loosens off, and ends up like a loose button. its fine now, but i do get the odd twing, think it just digs into the muscle when bending or something..but it did drive me mad and thought i was gonna have to get it looked at...it will go though, at least you know that..and i was shown how they are sewn in and that its near impossible for them to flip.so dont worry x
