Catlin1964 0 Posted July 30, 2010 Hi everyone, just joined after meeting a few folk in Dr Debruyne's clinic in Edinburgh yesterday. I went for a fill. Hello Gary and Scooby doo, I was the lady with dark curly hair. Also hello to the lady with long blonde curly hair, sorry didnt get your name. I hope by chatting here I will be focused again. Had to have a complete defill for surgery and guess what? I ate like a truck driver, weight was galloping back on. Back up to 5.5 mls in band so need to get on track.

garrymcfall 0 Posted July 30, 2010 Hi Guys Just wanted to say well done to all the new bandsters - finally your journey has begun. Went for my 3rd fill today so now upto 6.75ml in band, had a few spoonfuls of Soup for tea and struggled with it - got a strange gurgling feeling as it was going down - is that normal?? Garry it was lovely to meet you and I hope all goes well with your surgery - I overheard you saying you were running 1/2 marathon soon, is it a charity run as I am sure your friends on here would love to sponsor you. I would love to be able to run and you never know I might join you next year Weight loss now at 2 stone = 1/2 stone per month, which although slower than I thought it would be is an absolute delight I am hoping I am now at restriction level but only time will tell Kerry xx Banded 12th March 2010 hey scooby was nice to meet you yesterday, yip the gurgling is normal, thats you starting to get some restriction however it will eas as i had that too but when i got to my tight sweet spot the gurgling stopped so maybe one more might have you at the sweet spot. On the marathon ive not decided wither to do for charity yet, i will wait till next week and see how i am after my leg surgery, im sure il be fine. gx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

garrymcfall 0 Posted July 30, 2010 well i got my 2ml taken out my band for my leg surgery on wednesday:angry:, il tell you im not happy about it as i had been at my sweetspot for some 4-5 months now and was very controlable, its now a strange feeling being able to eat again, i have very little restriction now however my stomach can no longer take the larger portion although i can eat more than i was, so the next 3 weeks are going to be intersting, fortunately for me i am very motivated with my training for the half marathon so i should be ok. keep you posted. g Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catlin1964 0 Posted July 30, 2010 Hi Gary was reading what you said about your defill. When I had my defill, I was fine for a week or two, portions stayed small,but then my appetite gradually increased and so did my portion sizes. its so subtle hence my gain. im sure with all your training you ll be fine though.

Hi Cat Welcome to the site - was nice to put a face to a few names yesterday I got a bloody parking ticket though - not for not paying - apparently I was parked in front of an access point to the enclosed garden - ridiculous - I have sent an appeal in though cos I spoke to bloody traffic warden when I parked my car - swine:mad: Kerry x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catlin1964 0 Posted July 31, 2010 Kerry thats really bad luck. You are right to appeal. I came down from Inverness on the train. The appointments were very behind on the Thursday. The fill I had has put me right back to basics. Got good restriction. 4 stone gone but been the same weight for about a year. Im really wanting to drop about another 4. How are you getting on?

MummiesBB 5 Posted July 31, 2010 Hi have just undergone banding (yesterday)! Have met some lovely people here. There are 6 of us that were banded 30th July. I was the second one to go down and it wasn't too bad. Recovery was a bit of a blur due to the drugs. But certainly felt the pain & sickness. Ask for meds they gave me something every time I said anything. Care was fantastic! Lovely, supportive & understanding people. Now on the road to recovery and every hour I feel better. Will sign in again when home. Congratulations wannabe & sheer. Take care Claire x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MummiesBB 5 Posted July 31, 2010 Just wanted to add that you can book DIRECT with Dr Chris & Frederick at Belgium Surgery Services They are keen For people to do this as it cuts out other problems when not booking direct e.g. Taxis not being included etc. HTH Claire x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
