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

Hi gillian could you also ask Wendy why they have changed their policy in offering new bandsters the 6 month package?

They must know in these tight financial times it is not a good thing. Anyway I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will allow me the 6mth contract as I asked a day or two after the new policy began. I will find out in a couple of days. Coleen said she would phone and let me know, she would do her best. :redface: j x

As you all know Im being banded on the 26th of june I am going on holiday on the 16th of August so was hoping for a fill before going, just to get things started. CDB surgery in edinburgh doesnt have dates that suit me ie too soon after operation and then in August day after I leave for holiday. I am looking into wls at the mo but have to wait and see about six month package. I emailed Chris Deprez for a Glasgow appointment and he says wait until after being banded and see how I feel. If ok he will give me my first fill 17th July 3 weeks after op. I was wondering what you guys thought. Is this too soon? I know everyone heals at different rates, I am quite a quick healer but I have read on many sites its best to wait between 4 and 6 weeks. I have read all of Odges thoughts and I think she was well ready for a fill by this time. Any advice. Jx

Tee bird why are you having your first fill with frederic when you have signed up with wls.:redface:

Hey homecare, Just because it's my first fill, out of respect for ECFS and because i didn't think WLS would do a fill before 6 weeks? x

hi homecare..i will ask wendy when i go on tuesday..wendy is lovely, understanding,proffessional and very experienced..she is more interested in the person than the money, and i reckon she wont completely agree what WLS management have done re the 'no more 6 months packages' I will say people are upset at this and maybe she can give WLS management some feedback?..i would still book the 12 months package though as its certainly worth it, when you add up how much the fills are anyway, but i know thats not the point here. dont forget that WLS do a 'pay-as-you-go' for fills, think its £85 each, your appointment is for half hour and you get lots of info with her amazing analyzing,all knowing,no cheating scales!(wish i had some!) and her advice is excellent. your first appointment is £120 i think though for your assesment and first fill included. x

Cheers Flirty,

Just phoned WLS and Colleen said that you can only get your first fill with them from 6 weeks and the £120 initial assessment and fill are included in the 6 month package price. Mandyfielding, the phone number for Colleen is 08007879029, i phoned her this morning and she rang me back within half an hour x

Thanks wishfull, it's surprising how easy it is to stick to liquids and mushies when you're in the right frame of mind! Quick question if that's ok: when you have each fill, is it easy to lose anymore weight straight after or do you feel the same as before? Don't know if i'm making any sense but i'm so eager to get a good amount of weight off by september because my doctor said he'd refer me for a Tummy Tuck before i leave the RAF so fingers crossed! x

Hi tee-bird after your fill you are too stay on liquids for a couple of days, i find the weight does start too move again after the fill then slows down again. Iv flumped on the liquids for a couple of days, that time of the month and been on the nibble :(.. but thats ok i'll start again in a couple of days. The band does seem too give you the inner strengh tho x

Thanks wishfull, that sounds promising enough for me! Well i best go, gonna spend the rest of the night with my hubby since i wont see him again for 3 months until we go to the maldives in september. I'm really gonna miss him although he's worse off than me having to leave behind our 10 yr old daughter Megan and our 4 month old daughter Evie. I'm just gonna have to throw myself into getting beautiful before i see him next! :thumbup:

Hey all you guys, well done to all the losers on the weight loss, a lot of you sound like your doing it on will power alone, so i'm impressed, you should be proud! I dont know if i'm going to manage with a liquid diet, but maybe the band will give me that "inner power!".

Is anyone on their low fat pre op diet yet , that's going out in a few weeks? I am looking to start mine next week, but am trying to cut down now to get myself ready for it!

I also wanted to ask ( close your ears boys) Has anyone had the "time of the month" when they got their op? I think im going to have mine, and honestly, Im thinking about changing the date, as it's always really bad, and im thinking i might get in a state while Im there, and I always feel really tired with it, any advice greatly appreciated :(

THe WLS package for 6 months, I was kind of relying on for fills, as it's the only way i'm going to be able to afford them, Did anyone get an answet yet, if they're going to offer the 6 month deal, I feel they are greedy too, don't they realise people are struggling to get the money together as it is for the OP then the fill money on top makes it even harder!!!

Over and Out! LOL:wub:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
