Hi I was banded by Dr Chris de Bruyne in August. In my opinion I cant see what all the fuss is all about. Yeah he offered to operate on someone who was a few pound under the BMI of 30. I dont know about you but I could put on a few pound in a matter of days, no problem. Its not as if the guy was a few stone under weight. The only thing this BBC broadcast has done is made people more aware that if you get refused in the UK due to being "so called no fat enough", then go to Belgium, and the price is a lot cheaper too. Dr de Bruyne is a fantastic surgeon and I have the upmost respect for him. EnglishRose

Hi Julia How are you feeling now? Are you on the mushies now? Only another 29 days before I am being banded and counting...... Take care EnglishRose

Hi Th hospital number is 00 32 22546400 Good luck.

Hi Julia I have just read on your posting that Dr Chris offers a packing for Surgery, Hotel, Taxis etc for 4000 Euros. Just out of interest do you know which hotel this is for? Thanks

Thanks for your reply, its much appreciated. I guess I am worried that the people who know about the band will say, blimey your not losing that much are you! Ive been reading on here about people that have lost their hair, my god I hope I dont go bald otherwise I still wont want to leave the house.

Hi I am being banded on the 13th August 08. Perhaps we could keep in touch and give each other encouragement. B

Hi I am being banded by Dr Chris on the 13th August. CANT WAIT!!! Will definately sign your guest book once I have had the surgery. Bx

Hi I am having my gastic band done on the 13th August. Havent been sleeping very well ever since I have booked it. I just wish it was sooner. I am going to Belgium as its a lot cheaper than the UK. The surgeon is Dr Chris de Bruyne. Any good or bad comments about the sergeon would be very much appreciated please. Id also be interested to know a breakdown of how much you have lost during each month and how many fills are needed. Sorry for all the questions, but I am new to all this and could do with some advice. Thanks B
