Hi all Its been quite a while since I last posted, had a problem with my first and second fill but now feeling a fair amount of restriction doing well and am 3st 5lbs down as of this Saturday, hoping for another fill in the next couple of weeks. So nice to see everyone doing well.

Hello everyone I had my band sited at Dolan park on 7th July and got off to a fantastic start and weight was just falling off which was fantastic it was all good until I went for my first fill at the end of August. The nurse inserted the needle 10 times and wasn't able to complete the procedure...

You look brilliant well done

Mimi I am sorry i'm about to hijac your thread. Bella - you make it sound like I'm not trying, but I am working incredibly hard for my weight loss. I am sorry you are having troubles and its not going as you had hoped. I had 1tablespoon of macaroni pasta and made my carbonara with skimmed...

Hi thank you both. Sorry to hear your having trouble Bella, it will happen for you. I remember people saying that before your fill it can be normal to gain a bit. I have a 10ml band which I think Mr El-Hasani left empty. First fill is on 15th August. I only lost 1lb last week but have been...

Hi all, I haven't been too well the last 24hrs and have vomitted once it was quite projectile (sorry if too much info) I think I've had a little bug. I'm 4 weeks post op and to my knowledge have nothing in my band. Will this cause me any problems a one off incident? Thanks

6lbs off this week, 33 in total so far since op on 7/7/12, deeeeelighted.

Hi Bella You are not a failure I agree with Julie you need to try and eat more. I've been having a normal hot chocolate like a galaxy or dairy milk in the evening made with 200mls ss milk to boost my intake and the weight came off during the week after upping it slightly. I've also been...

2nd weeke banded and Over the moon another 5ilbs off this week. Total of 26lbs since 25th june. To celebrate I had scrambled egg for brekkie and had hummus and mushy peas for lunch. Goodbye liquids hello mushies

Hi Caroline I wouldn't worry about spending money on cotton knickers, just use the paper ones they give you. They get all gunky anyway with the cleaning solution they use in the op and they're on for such a short time. You really won't care. I was a little embarrassed initially walking to...

Hi Caroline I'm doing really well thanks. Back to work tomorrow and I can't wait I've been so bored!! Physically feel great, a little tired occasionally as not eating very much but well. Not sore anymore, managed to get away with minimal wind pain I think partly due to my addiction to...

Thanks. Yes I know Chicken! It was not a good choice I am very well aware of that, when it went down ok I though it would be fine but have been worried since. I find it difficult because I feel fine to remember that I've had a major op and to take it easy. It's weird I was uncomfortable still on...

The stitches I am used to using at work when I suture usually dissolve in about 3 weeks, everyone is different though and how their body reacts and absorbs this material can be different. The suturing material used is thicker than you think, it is thicker than cotton that you would use for...

Hi I'm 10 days post op and have been really quite hungry this afternoon for some reason. I feel totally normal inside at the moment. The restriction that I had after the op was great and II didn't feel the need to eat much or often. The last day or 2 I have felt hungry and soups, smoothies...

Hi Bella I wouldn't worry. As long as the areas are not hot and inflamed it should be fine. It could be the glue that was used stuck to some hair follicles or possibly they used stitches internally for some reason, it is difficult to tell without seeing them. At the wound edges still sitting...

Hi I am a acute Midwife and work 12 and 13hr shifts including nights. When i did the pre op diet I started on my day off to get used to things and then made sure that I prepared my lunch and dinner to take with me. I also took my 3 portions of fruit to eat and space throughout the day so it...
