Welcome!

Just a little introduction as to why I've opened a new group.

Our lucky friends across the pond have a few groups to share their experiences but there didn't seem to be anything specifically for bandsters in the UK, so it's just something for us to throw chat about relating to the journey started in the UK.

I was banded 14/10/12 and to date have lost 84lbs, please feel free to ask me anything!

Look forward to hearing all about your individual experiences! :-)

  • hi,

    Had my band fitted about 6 years ago, was doing really well, lost 11st, then it broke. I went into hospital and had the band replaced, but after many unsuccessful fills started to gain weight. After another year i started suffering with acid reflux and was again taken into hospital where they unclipped and repositioned the band, i have now just had my first fill after that, had to go and have that amended because it was overfilled making it difficult for me to drink water let alone eat. Any way now thats been fixed i am ready to carry on dieting, i cant eat much at the moment so hoping i will have a good few weeks of weight loss before the boredom sets in.

    I have my sisters wedding in july and hope to have lost 2 stone by then, I am currently 14st 7.

    Any motivation would be appreciated.
