Hi Julie, I've just come back from Belgium yesterday, I was also banded by dr marc forquet. Did you have any pains afterwards, how has it been for you since the band. I'm in so much pain at the moment with wind and also where the port is its really hurting, I really hope it gets better, I'm beginning to regret all of this already x would appreciate your feedback

Six Month Post Op
I had my op at the end of May. So quite a journey ahead, lost 3 stone so far and another band fill on Monday, it's a long journey but worth it! The pain does take a while to subside but remember why you had it done! Keep smiling x

Julie is it your first fill? Because I'm not really experiencing the full feeling, I don't even know if dr marc put a fill, he didn't tell me?! I forgot to ask, I just wanted to go home and was in so much pain, I didn't think. Did he tell you? I asked Wendy when I went for a 1 week post op check up and she said she can only tell if there is a fill at my first fill which is in mid January.

Six Month Post Op
When Wendy checked me I had about 4 ml in, which Dr marc put in when I had my op. He didn't tell me either. I have had 3 fills, im on about 8 ml in a 11 Ml band, but feel I need more, I had my op at the end of may, it takes time but you will get there, I'm still getting there x
