Hiya all,
I posted a threat on here a couple of weeks ago to say that I was supposed to have 5.5mls in my band, but they were only able to draw 3mls and asked me to go back in two weeks to check if there was a leak. Some of you responded, including ‘2-bands-Liz’ who as always, provided very helpful advise – 2-bands-liz also asked me at time to let her know the outcome:
Well, I went back for a consultation on Wednesday, and I’m so happy to report that there is no leak – and everything is OK.
The specialist bariatric nurse also said something which surprised me. She said that they tell people with the G.Band that they will lose an average of 50-60% of their excess body weight in 1-2yrs; and whether I’d realised that I’ve so far lost 45% of my excess body weight, in four months – at that point I thought she was going to tell me off for having lost weight so quickly, but she then went on to praise me and tell me how brilliantly I’m doing (I came away from that consultation feeling on top of the world!!!). I’m also happy to report that I’m not suffering from lose skin (something that I was afraid of, which you’re more prone to especially if you lose weight too quickly).
Your very happy mini-mis member,
