Still very confused



Recommended Posts

I had my band done in France with follow up visits in Bristol which is over a 3 hour drive, does anyone else have this problem with travel, I paid £130 for my first fill is this normal, i have never had an x-ray.

Is there anyone out there in the North West going for fills local to them

I havent lost much weight at all tomorrow I am going to have some Fluid removed but not sure how much, at the moment I have 3mls in and thats to restricting for me, I think I had my fill too soon I didnt give myself time to get use to the band I was in a hurry to get started but its not working for me.

How much should I pay for a de-fill ?? and should I have all 3mls taken out or just 1 or 2 dont know what to do:help::cry:rolleyes

Sorry you are not doing well, but sometimes it takes several fills to hit your sweet spot. I havc 2cc in a 4 cc band and it is working great for now. As i lose i will need another fill. Are you eating right and drinking lots of Water? ?? The water is very ,very important. So is exercise. Best of luck. Donna

Zelda,

What you paid for a fill, sounds right. I don't pay anything for a de fill. You may only need .2 or .5 removed. I would wait 30 min, before I left the dr. office to make sure. good luck

Hi there,

I pay £90 for a fill in London. It costs me £130 to have a fluro fill in Belgium. You can also have them with the same company as I have them with. I had my surgery with EOC in February 2007 have just got back from having a scond surgery as my port detatched from tubing, so I will be having another fill soon. 3mls doesnt sound that much. Do you have a 10 ml band or a 4 ml band?

anyway, £90 is good in the UK.

        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.

      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
