Recommended Posts

I am currently considering being banded.As there is only one surgeon in Ireland(not v.reliable either)and it costs 10,000 euro,I am considering prague as there is a direct flight from my city. Has any one any experience of BODY BEAUTIFUL UK who SEEM to be the most comprehensive doing it there. Also can anyone tell me if it is feasible to have your fills at a distance like this or would i be better to go to the UK which is only an hour away?Any suggestions will be gratefully received as i want to get on with this.Thx:)

Hi Penny, can't answer your question but you and I seem to be in the same boat :). I didn't know anywhere in Ireland performed surgery til your other post made me google it. I'd considered Belgium or Prague but found Advanced Cosmtic Surgery group with 4 clinics in Ireland. Did you contact them too?

I've given myself til 7th Jan to lose some weight if not will book a consultation, just not sure where lol.

Nice to have another Irish voice!this is a brilliant forum to find out about the whole process of gastric banding. I have done all my research and will go with ACS in Dublin if they can manage to get their act together as its def preferable to have the fills in this country.Where are you living??Have you seen the thread "Hi........ I'm Nikki from Ireland" or something like that?(search it anyway-its where all the Irish hang out and has some interesting stuff on it(only the last few pages are relevant to whats happening in ACS at the moment tho)

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I thought I read in another post that the doctor is no good and is the only one, is that right? I am in Tyrone so the Belfast clinic would be really convenient for me, though I could still travel to Dublin.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
