I got banded with dr chris at the end of october .I had to wait till the end of december as there was no appointments left in november .As tropical lagoon said i thought i would be in for a while with dr chris for my fill but i was in and out in five min .When i went to make an appointment with julie for january i was told there was none left and it would have to be febuary which i was not happy about.So i booked a package with wls group that gives you unlimited fills or defills for 6 months for only £275 if you book before 31/1/09.I thought this was a good deal.So i went for my first fill with them 2 days ago and the nurse wendy was great.I was in for a full half hour with her and she gave me advice on diet and what i was doing right and what i was doing wrong.I would recomend it to the ladys on here that are ready to get there first fills soon.It was a bit more of a personal touch than in and back out in five min and all the questions i had she answered no problem.

Hi pm is private message.If you click on the persons name on the left it will open a new box which says send a new private message to........ Hope this helps.

Hi i was banded on the friday and drove home from the airport on the sunday.No problems.

I had my surgery on the friday and i was back to work on the tuesday.My job has not got alot of bending or moving so i was fine after 4 days.

Hi there i was booked with bridget for the op with dr chris .I then started reading posts on here about the package.So i got fredricks email(dr chris bussiness partner ) and booked with him .So if you have not paid any money to bridget thats what i would do .I just told bridget that i could not get the date for the op off work.Hope this helps

Hi i had surgery with dr chris just over 3 weeks ago(31 oct) .I also was banded on the friday flew home on the sunday and i was back to work on the tuesday.Hope this helps.

I was banded on 31 oct and mines lasted 4 days .And i was in agony with them the first 2 days .

I was back to work after three days .I was banded on friday and back to work on monday.I also drove on the sunday when i got off the plane .I dont have any lifting to do in my job so thats why i went back so soon.

I got banded on 31 oct and was driving on the 2nd nov .I have been driving every day since no problems.

Psychologically i would prefered to have it done in my own town .But at £7500 -£8000 i soon got my mind round that one .Then it was just a case of finding a surgeon that a lot of people spoke highly of and had no problems with and i have not heared any body say anything bad about going to belgium and having surgery with dr chris de bruyne.

Hi dr chris was the surgeon who done my surgery and his web site is www.obesity-assist.com

Hi im just back from been banded from dr chris 4 days ago.In my info pack in says (Q) am i allowed to go deap sea diving. (A )please contact dr de bruyne for useful diving instructions.Dont know if this helps maby send him an email see what he says.

I was on the waiting list for 2 years and was then told to come back and see the surgeon in 6 months.So i decided then do go private so im just back from belgium having surgery with dr chris de bruyne on sun 31 oct .The total cost for flights from uk hotel and all taxis for me and my partner to go over was £3600.The surgeon comes over once a month to the uk and does the fills for £100.Hope this helps.

I was banded on the 31st oct and flew home 2 days later .I asked the surgeon about flying he said no problem.I thought i was going to get a restriction but there was none.

Hi i was banded o 10/31 to and im having the same problem as yourself its good to know im not the only one .

It still hurts a little when bending down .But the gurgeling in my belly is the worse is this the gas that every body talks about?.I do not need to do any lifting in my job so i should be ok.

Thats me back after been banded by dr chris.My god i was sore the first day did not expect the pain .Back home sunday after been done on friday but had a good night sleep last night so back to work tomorrow feeling a lot better now.So hopefully joining yous on the loseing side.

Hi chel82 I had booked up with one companay and the good people on this site had told me about a package that includes hotel and taxis so i took that offer and that had an earlier date.

HI im getting banded on oct 31 in belgium by dr chris de bruyne.

Hi there just thought i would let yous know that im be banded on halloween 31/10 now instead of the 14th of nov by dr chris de bruyne.Hope there is no scarrrrrry moments on that day.:tongue_smilie:

Thank you j j i apprecite the info .Its good to know there is people willing to give you loads of advice .It makes the whole process a little bit easier.Yes i will be taking some one with me i will be a bag of nerves on the day of the op.lol

Ye im on bebo to how will i get your user name ?

Im just under 6ft too.So my 23 stone doesnt seem too bad . Alot of people in my work cant belive my weight when i told them they thiought i was only about 17/18 stone and said i did not need the op.But youl know your self its whats you feel in your head and how you feel mentaly.I will keep you posted how im going and please let me know how well your doing yourself.

I have got about 2 stone to lose haha more like 10 im 23 stone just now and hope to get down to about 13.Over the last 10 years i have lost eight stone then put it all back on again .I then started dieting again and lost 7 stone and over the years it has crept back on .Hopefully with the band i can get it off and keep it off.

Thats brilliant i hope it comes off me as quick lol.What is your diet been this week have you eat much?Is there alot of constriction when your eating?
