    Gasttic band worried

    I found after the band and eating much more healthily with no fizz I felt fantastic. I really notice it if I have a fizzy drink or bread. I feel horrid and bloated for a few days or a week after. I avoid this stuff now, with only the occasional coke at a restaurant.

    Can't eat in the mornings

    Obviously you are best to contact your provider as they can help. But in the meantime if it was me I would go onto liquids for a few days and then mushies and then solids as you would after a fill. I suspect you may be a bit sore or inflamed. If it was me I would also start by drinking...

    Update 11 months in

    Mini update......It has been way too long! Things are going well, slow but good. I have lost 45 lb's total, in 11 months and I have another 35lbs to go, which is not bad. I have been getting fills quite spaced out. I had several in the first few months of being banded between 29th of...

    Travel insurance and flying

    Hello peeps I am about to book travel insurance for my trip to Malaysia this summer, but I am not sure if a band is a "pre-existing condition" I think it must be, but not sure what insurance to get. Have any of you bought travel insurance recently? Can you recommend a company or any info.

    I've been banded :)

    Summerbands Diary: Juggling all the balls! Hi peeps. I think it is "almost restriction"! I have stayed the same this week, so still 13.13....but being in the 13's is fab. I know I haven't been drinking enough this week and so I am going to concentrate on that this week and see if it makes...

This is a typical day: Breakfast danio yoghurt or natural yog with fresh raspberries Lunch 2 nairns gluten free oak cakes, big scoop of Philadelphia light, slice ham or chicken. Few carrot...

    Having a band is the same as cosmetic surgery...apparently

    Yes it is in the records, and I gave permission to check them to the insurance company but they have a confidentiality policy which it appears they are following...which I am glad about. I am generally a private person and don't want the 40-odd people I work with knowing my business. There is...

    Having a band is the same as cosmetic surgery...apparently

    Hi peeps. I had an interesting day at work today when my boss told me I was not entitled to sick pay for my post op recovery. I have kept my band confidential at work but took 2 weeks off after my op. I had a GP's cert saying that I was recovering from surgery....completely true. My boss...

    Ive Always thought Diet = weight Loss......

    I am the same, if I eat less than 1100 a day I stop loosing weight and if I eat carbs when I am this low, I gain. At 1200-1300 I loose weight really quick, and beyond 1600 I gain! So I now know where to keep my cals. It is a guessing game until you work out how your body works with the...

    One year in!! Do you want to know how I feel??

    Hi there, nice to meet you! Every loss is to be celebrated and two stones off great. If you are interested in loosing a bit more, would a little more in your band help? It is a fine line between living with real restriction and living with a band that helps your mind games. I think my band...

    changing your status within your social group?

    I think for me, it is all about how we feel inside, and how that makes up behave and how it is interpreted. I know that the thinner and healthier I am, the more confident I am, the fuller life I can lead, the happier I am. At my heaviest I was a philosophical spectator. Now I am game for...

    Endoscopy

    Didn't want to say before, but the tube they put down with the camera in it, I thought it would be thin and tiny, I swear it was like a hose pipe! No fun with just spray!
