Hi Flirty - You raised my curiousity when you said you have paid more than 1000euro and still don't have restriction. I will be having my fills in Dublin as well - and travelling from Donegal to do so, so I'm eager to have them work well and work quickly. Anyone else out there having the same problem with fills in Dublin? Also, is the port located high in the ribs, under your bust?

Hi shoes when i was in belgium i told him i wasnt happy and he couldnt understand i could still eat bread and other stuff without a prob but iv been saying it to him for ages but he said he'd do next fill half price but i dont really think thats good enough so iv decided not to bother with any more fills iv came this far without reaching my sweet spot just pissed off with fills i feel no different now than i did after first fill doesnt say much does it

Hi flirty been reading your info and u are brilliant answering everyone elses posts especially when you have had it so difficult yourself!

however must admit reading the last few i feel a bit angry re the way you have been treated with still no restriciton in the band?

"you can get the next one half price" how many is that you have actually had?

if i were you ....u should be telling them not happy sort it or you will take things further.....this shows to me if aftercare etc doesnt go as ecfs hopes you are treated badly and possibly ripped off:frown:??

bit worried now as it shows outwith the norm they really dont care as to pay for so many fills is a joke!:confused:

what do other bandsters think?

Hi timeisnow i really dont want putting u off its just my experience i must say i feel ripped off but all i get when i say it to fred is ur losing the weight which yes is true but i would of liked restriction to kick in and help me a little but iv had 8fills so far and i have never felt restriction can still eat any amount of anything once i chew well... but i know dr chris said they give less of a fill if u are losing weight and more if u arnt so i kinda think its a rip of situation nearly like being punished for losing weight u get less of a fill and ur band losens as u lose weight so i dont understand why they do it that way but when i say anything bout not being happy all i get is ur losing weight it is frustrating but not much i can do

yes there is flirty...........why just you and why is it not being restricted more quickly? put how unhappy you are on here because i will tell you now if i am treated like this re after care i wont be taking it quietly or be palmed off!!ill pay my money and take it from there but people need to know that the aftercare is sound and we are still treated properly and not like a money cow!!

im just sorry this has not been mentioned b4 ie not acceptable!

good luck anyway flirty keep me posted im away in less than four weeks?

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
