Hi, I had my band fitted Feb 16 and have reached my target weight and now a size 10-12 however my last fill was always too tight and I'm often bringing up the small amount I eat. I'm thinking of having it all removed due to problems it causing at home and I do feel having changed my lifestyle...

Hi, 6 months post op and had my second fill a week ago. All went well and the restriction for the first 5 days was great, however the day after fill I had this awful taste in my mouth which lasted 4/5 days and now I don't seem to have the restriction the second fill gave me. It's like I don't...

Hi Elsa, i'm with you on this one. I've not had it in that long but i'm really worried that it has been a massive mistake. The reason I am overweight is that I ate too much chocolate/crisps/cakes etc, and guess what - I can still eat all that crap, and eating more of it as struggling with the...

3 weeks post op - All pain now gone from the trapped wind and wounds healing really nicely. On soft foods but appetite has returned with a vengeance, luckily I'm still unable to eat as much as I used to but looking forward to having a fill. Seem to be ok with most foods if I follow the rules, I...

Hi, personally the surgeon was the main thing for me as the aftercare was pretty much the same. I saved 1k going with THG and had Mr Super. Yes, I had to travel further to Dolan park but that didn't bother me. Ask for Mr Super with THG if that's the guy you want. Good luck with everything and...

So day 10 and feeling ok at last :-) Also started to feel hungry which I thought wouldn't kick in till much later. My first fill is 31st March, had to wait longer due to the hernia. Still having pain in left shoulder, mainly at night and first thing in the morning. Did anyone else have pain...

Hi, I felt exactly the same. I was banded on the 3rd on Feb so just a few days before you and only today do I feel slightly better. I'm also with you on the thoughts of 'do I feel full, or is it the pain of surgery that I feel' I have the trapped wind from surgery that is in my left shoulder and...

Hi Neticak - Did you have your band fitted yesterday? If so how are you and how did it go? hope you're ok xx

Hi, I've loved reading your diary from start to finish today and following your journey. You've done so so well and looked amazing in your dress. Its given me the boost I needed today. I'm in the exact same place you were a year ago - Had my band on the 3rd Feb and feeling like i've been kicked...

Thank you for your messages of support - means a lot. Not sure what happened to my last message so I'll type again. Ok, so had op on the 3rd at Dolan THG with Mr Super. On arrival I went straight with nurse to have bloods taken then was shown to room. The nurse, anaesthetist and then Mr Super...

It went ok, just struggling more emotionally wise at the mo. I did type a long reply with how it went but I think it has to be mod approved, so may show in a little while. ? Just keep getting thoughts of 'what have I done' I think once the anesthetic has completley gone out of my body and I'm...

Hi, they offered transport but at an additional cost of £220. My husband was due to take but he had to drop kids off at school first so followed me up. How did it go at Spire? I live near Lymm so just on the border of Manchester x

Hi, so I'm now at home recovering. All went ok (ish) at THG Dolan house. You go into to see the nurse first and have your bloods taken then shown to your room where the nurse, anaesthetist, and surgeon will all visit and discuss procedure. The room was fine, however if you are staying over I...

So I'm sat here in reception of Dolan Park absolutely terrified I've been 100% certain up until this moment but having a wobble. Great timing eh! Passed cadbury's world on way in and thought about stopping off there instead . For those getting the train in it cost me £30 in a taxi from...
