BANDERS UNITE ! Get to know each other chatter !

[Mazza]

Doh I thought I replied to you! My imagination is so vivid lol.

Not sure that the gas explanation is a credible one but what do I know? Seems that having a major op with a gastric band is a no no - J.u.s.t.L.i.z went through something similar? I do with surgeons would take care! Anyway I'm assuming the two are linked and you and Liz have the some problem, but you probably don't.

Would it be out of your character to demand a new barium meal procedure thingy? No point in constantly topping up your band if it has sprung a leak. 2mls in the grand scheme of the world isn't a large amount. May be the op gasses DID disperse the band juice - who know. Please be sure to have them check how much is in there before you are filled. If you've lost a significant amount again I'd say that there is a problem. Would you qualify for reparation via the NHS?

Liz's band was damaged whilst having her tummy tuck - my op was gynea so they didnt have to go anywhere near my stomach.

Usually prior to surgery a slight de fill (although some providers would say complete) is advised but because I hadnt had one for so long I didnt bother.

Yes I have allready asked them to take everything out again

Im sure it will be ok, I wouldnt qualify under the NHS for any repairs Im sure of that

I went to bed last night with port pain .. possibly due to me eating a little more than I should've. Today I still have some port pain. Anyone else get this? I'm currently drinking coffee, not had anything to eat yet - not hungry. I'll have my multi-vitamins in a minute though.

How is the pain now? I dont really get any pain although Im sure I did upto about 6 months post op

Ooooh! Sorry!!! I didn't realise it was an op of that sort. Really sorry about the misunderstanding.

I thought you had a similar op to 2bandsliz.

Well I wouldn't worry at all!

Hi Sarah,

It's been very quiet around here lately. I'm OK ... fretting about my weekend of excess (read gluttony) on the scales at RC in a few minutes. Going to work my bum bum off at the class as recompense

How are you?

The weather is disgusting today uh??!!

 

[Neen]

Hiya Sarah!
CC good luck with your weigh in xx Hope you got on OK!
Mazza Hi hun xxxxx I think achieving your goal weight within 2 years is highly possible!!! I wish I would have done that but hey ho!!
As long as we all get there and it stays off...that's the main thing.

Hope everyone else is OK! Leesh, Rache , Julie hope you're OK.
Keep mingling and posting everyone xxx

Took a while but I found some beefcake, crumpets and eye candy for you x

Morning Mazza, Poppet and Jacqui!! Well all are welcome to feast the eyes
Just no nibbling biscuits with those cuppas OK? xxxxx

 

[Neen]

Glad you like Sarah...see I am resorting to underhand tactics to keep us all posting !!!
Hope you are OK , you have done fab so far and you mustn't worry about being able to do the band...we always underestimate ourselves on what is and isn't possible!
We should give ourselves a chance to succeed sometimes too!

 

[cah-ching]

I've gone a bit light headed!

 

[Neen]

Hope everyone is OK so far...I am coming down with a cold (oh joy) Still a bit tight band wise but managed to eat some protein today , as long as I can get enough cals in of the good stuff then I am OK. Not really exercised today because I felt bad but might try the rowing machine tomorrow.
Hows everyone else doing?
What are everyones weigh in days?
Mines a Saturday morning so I can have my treat day on the Saturday and plenty of time to make up for naughty nossets!

 

[cah-ching]

I just weigh whenever. ALthough I did allot Tuesdays for weighing in but haven't really done it apart from twice.


Hope you managed to get on the rower.

 

[BlueDiamond]

I weigh in on Mondays as my op was on a Monday , hope e1 is well

Just had a quick read through of that CC. Poor soul ! It's one of those things right at the back of my mind but it is a worry...specially after the aftercare period runs out.
If it happened to me before I lost my weight I would no way be able to pay for a new one....
I would hopefully be able to lose the rest on my own & have learnt enough to not regain.
Trying to be optimistic about my coping skills!
