Hi gillian,

Congrats on the weight loss. Thanks for asking about the 6 month package, it's really funny cos wendy never offered me the 6 mth package when I spoke to her on May 27th. After homecare getting the package I emailed wls today explaining that 12 months would not be financially viable but i would be really keen to go for the 6 mths and if it was at all possible. About half an hour later colleen called me. Very nice lady. She said that she would give me the 6 mths package, they normally encourage the 12mth one but if that's what i could afford at the moment it wasn't a problem. I'm almost certain she said they were going to stop the package for new bandsters but decided against it. so any of you who want the 6mth deal ring them now and pay the deposit like homecare. I told her as I'm going for the op on friday i'd leave it till next week to pay her, she said that was not a problem as my 6 mths wouldn't kick in till 6 weeks post op. I'm really really happy now, i think that's a good omen for me!!

Soooo glad you got the 6 month package:rolleyes2: OMG cant believe its already come round to your time to have the band. How have you got on with the low fat diet? J x:drool:

I'm doing ok. Just cut out all the crap and eat 3 meals a day, odd bit of fruit. I emailed fred today, to my surprise a detailed schedule came back, saying he hoped i was well and sent me copy of the logo that a taxi driver will be holding up in the arrivals hall for me. He said taxi will take me to hotel and he will see me there between 8.30pm & 9.30pm. OMG it's all so real now. Still nervous but yet excited.

hi tee bird the manchester fills are in the Regus business centreManchester Business Park

3000 Aviator Way

Manchester M22 5TG, just go into reception and ask for ecfs. wee tip park at front door first and run into reception as the car park is behind the building and you need to display a ticket that reception give you, this will save you parking, walking to reception and then having to go back to car, especially will wee ones.

hope this helps.

Thanks for the info Gary and thanks to you too wishfull, route planner sorted! Can't wait for first fill now! Haven't noticed any inches lost yet, hopefully in the next few weeks. Well done Gillian on weight loss and to everybody else, great news about the 6 month package!! x:thumbup:

:cursing: thankyou to you all! im pleased too with how the weight loss is going, its coming off slowly, but im more than happy with that as i have a lot to lose, so im looking at this time next year for my target. ive lost 30lb since op now.and lost 2lb before pre op. i really hope me telling the fill team is going to get you somewhere with the 6 month packages, hope they pass the feedback on. i couldnt have afforded the 12 months package either, esp after just paying...and still paying for the op. it went on my credit card im afraid. anyway i had .5ml fill taking me to 6, and big sister had quite a big fill taking her to 8ml!!. she wasnt feeling much restriction.. so wendy did what she calls a"fluid challenge". she syringes all the saline back out..counts it, then fills it back up to almost max. you do have to wait around a bit cos she needs to know if you can drink a few cold drinks, and Hot Drinks too, she then decides whether to take some out from the results. anyway bigsister was gurgling away like a bath plughole and hiccupping at the side of me while drinking!..so lets hope she gets some restriction now..i am absolutely sure she will have now! think i have a little bit more restriction but cant tell until come off liquids properly. i know its definatly tighter in the morning though, esp the morning after a fill. that gurgling is a sign of restriction though, so is hiccups. hope i have answered everyones questions...gillian x

Well done gillian for saying to wendys man about the six month package .If you had not of said to him i think there would be alot of people out of pocket paying for the twelve month package when they dont realy have the money to do so.:ihih:

Well I am still sticking to low fat diet. Found it really hard yesterday but seem ok today. I am attending a NHS weight management course at the moment and to be honest I thought they would have been better than they are.Did any of you guys attend the WMS. I have only seen a dietician up to now and as I am one of the lighter people attending I knew there was no chance of me getting a NHS funded op. I havent done all that well up to now with them but I am hoping on friday I will have lost a few pounds. I havent told them I am being banded in a fortnight but my doctor suggests I do and says that I should get to see a bariatric nurse as I am already on a weight management programme. I am sure I read somewhere the NHS has even less funding for fills etc and a man had waited for 4 months to have a fill. Anyway I dont know wether to tell dietician or wait until I have had it done? I really dont want anyone who doesnt need to know, know if that makes sense:cursing:. Thank god for you guys:thumbup: J x

Hi everyone

Can someone please tell me how you put a ticker. I had a go a while back but couldn't get it on my area?!?! What am I doing wrong?

I am having my first fill next Thursday and I'm looking forward to it. I have already lost 10 kilo's which really amazed me. So with a bit of restriction I should be even better.....
