Hi there, Speaking as a childrens nurse and mother of three with 2 13 year old daughters I think you need to tread very carefully with this. Size 14 does sound a little big but like everyone else has said this would depend on your daughters build. My girls are an adult size 6-8 depending on the...

Hi there, I had a band with the WLS group and Rodger Ackroyd. I have been very pleased with them from the start really. I was very well looked after in hospital (sheffield) and Mr Ackroyd is a very experienced and respected surgeon (he is also a bit hunky as well, if you like the surgeon type...

Hi, I have had the stuck feeling on two occasions. Its just the same as everyone else says. A tight feeling high up in your chest, watery mouth and quite painfull. Both times I was eating too quickly and not concentrating (both times dry chicken too). On one of these occasions I brought the...

Hi there, Thats a lovely story. I remember talking to you about horse riding before your op. Your weight loss has been fantastic, well done. You deserve to go out and enjoy your ride. Leesh x

Well done and good luck with the weigh ins this week. x

Hi, Well it sounds like you are making a great start with your eating habits and the rest will come it just takes time. It may take a few fills to get you where you want to be (I have had a lot) but each one makes a difference and you are learning along the way. I was totally frustrated with...

Happy belated birthday lovely lady. Hope you had a good one. x

Hi Mandy, Not sure if its normal as such but I was just the same. It drove me mad. Much better now though and I hardly notice it. I can lie on my side etc. Still get twinges from it though. My providers put it down to me over doing it, carrying my two year old round on my hip all the time and...

I think mine is 9.5 with 8.5 mls in it. Had my band for 8 months and am hoping my latest fill on Tuesday has given me some good restriction. Cant really tell at the moment because Im still on mushies but does seem to of made a difference. Fingers crossed. x

Yes I know. Thank you Neen. I will be stronger. x

Thats fantastic. I hope I can post the same story one day. Its not nice to be the odd one out. My family are all slim and good looking and I have always been the big one. Im the youngest too. My mum worked as a model until she was in her mid thirties so she was obviously slim and goodlooking...

Thanks for all your replies. I know Im a big chicken but there is no way I am coming clean about it. Only a handfull of people know about my op and I even wish they didnt as my weeight loss has been quite slow and I dont want to be judged for everything I eat etc in company. I think the diet...

Im going away for the weekend to Wales with the in laws, my husband and my little boy. My big girls are not coming because they have had a better offer. Anyway because I am a secretive little sausage the inlaws dont know about my band. They are very nice people but I dont know if they would...

Hi there. It can take quite a few fills to get u to the point where u can only eat small amounts. I must of had about 6 fills now and am hoping this most recent one is the one but still on liquids so don't know yet. I also felt like I could eat silly amounts of food at first but this has...

Let us know how you get on Mazza and thanks. Neen- yes I think that is what she means. I dont think she wants me to follow any programme of counting/measuring but to just cut back on the carbs and to cut out the crap. Less carbs and no crap, surely even I can do that. Obvisously I then need to...

Hi ladies, Just to update you I have had a fill today. feels different to the others so fingers crossed. Had some tomatoe soup and watered it down as I could feel it going down a bit which I have never had to do before. No pain just a funny feeling. Really really hope this one works. So I now...

Absolutely, What is good advice for one bander may certainly not be for another. I nearly fainted when I read those rules! hehe, Im such a worrier. I hoped you were going say there was more than one method. I honestly thought that all bands were put in the same place. x

Thanks Neen, you are a star x that explains a lot. I am positive they told me I had a pouch but I will ask as you do need to treat the different band differently. x

I have thought the same thing about ice lollies after tea. My husband and kids often have one of those mini milk things after tea and Im not sure if that would count as a drinking? Having said thar when I used to have cereal I didnt even think about the milk. x
