I'm finding it all ok to be honest ... Up until now it's been the best decision iv made! Iv read a lot of stories on here of people saying that their band has been a waste of money and has not work and without soundin harsh I struggle to see how it cannot work if you follow what your supposed to do, I think it has to be a change in the way you think .. But yes I'm thrilled ! :) xxx
 
Well Done LOckerz, you are doing so well and working with the band.

Good for you and I hope I do as well as you

Fab Emma :) you are doing really well, I have lost 22lbs all in and had dietitian today.... Booked 2nd fill ... Are you feeling your 4 ml?? Xxx

Iv not had my dietician appointment yet, she rang me a week after my op and explained someone had put it in too soon and that they don't usually call till about 3 weeks after so she's calling again next Tuesday , what kind of things do they go through? Xxx
 
She basically said how important it was to eat crunchy food from next fri onwards (4 weeks) things like special k ryvita pitta breAd etc she asked how much weight I had lost and booked me for 22nd sept for second fill because I only have 0.5 ml given my prob at the start... Was only quick conversation. She also said dietitian support was fir first 6 months but was changing and she now didn't know what would be happening ...... And finally not to worry about weight loss plateau as this was very normal ... Also asked about any questions I had but she answered most of them ...

So we only get dietician advice for the first 6 months? So what does lifetime after care consist of ? I'll have to think of some questions and write then down although iv had gastric flu for the last couple of days n felt so ill the doctor even prescribed me some anti sickness tablets ... So my appetite had been zero again, although iv felt more than satisfied with my 4ml fill up until now xxx
 
Emma hope you feel better dietitian said they used to do 1 to 1 every 4 weeks and advise about fills etc....... But is changing probably to nurse led fills and advice ... I thought we got 2 years post op support, fills and dietitian etc - let me know what they say to you

Hiya are you with THG? I might give them a call and check out what the support is, I have a minor worry about the 6 months surgical cover and exactly what it covers, especially as we do not get a routine x-ray to check everything is okay. Tracey xxx
 
Tracey I was told at Dolan park that dr sigurdsson runs a dye through to check everything s ok before he closes up?
 
Thanks, I'll check this out. Cheers, Tracey x
