i wouldnt kill your self on the pre op diet , aslong as your eating low fat stuff you be fine , chris isnt that bothered about you losing weight before surgery ,so have plenty of the low fat stuff , chicken etc , i had pizza hut mon, birthday cake tues, then had lasange and chips nights before, dont forget you got to give your self a little treat before you go ....... As for afterwards !!!!!! get your self a good protien shake form either herblite (which mumbies could adv) of something like feed n lean lonsdale, or one of other weight managment shakes on the market , look at the sports stuff , as they contain full amount of protein which will keep you full ( but get the one thats say they are a meal replacement for weight loss ,this will ensure you dont pick the wrong ones, as apose to those slim fast shakes which basically DONT !!!! Also you can have yogurts + dutch crakers + SOUP , so it aint all that bad in the liquid stage ,

she has been a nightmare through mine ,hassled me to death for money ,which was a right clart on to sort out, then once id paid , she didnt want to know ..... she canceled op with few days notice with some bull shit excuse which i found out when i was over there she has tried with others, just because she hadnt paid surg for op,( then she left me waiting weeks before she sorted out new flights and was quibbling over price , also 1st day i got there , there had been a lady turn up for op and surgoen didnt know anything about it , luckly he did the op anyway , People have been turning up for there free fills and dr hasnt already been paid , I have never met the women however she told me that she goes to the surgery regulary ......which wasnt true due to her living in france ......... also she advised me that you get a fill during surgery which isnt true , Dont get me wrong , when i got there my hotel was booked and surgoen was expecting me , i get the impression these sorts of hastles with tulia are normal , my advice is mainly for people who are looking to book from now on , i sure you will be fine , however if you are worried email frederick.serneels@ecfs.be direct to check your all booked in correctly , ( he dr c de burghs liason person + one of the nurses ) you will be well looked after by the two of them when your there , they even come out to your hotel to explain everthing to you , which i thought was great , and stressed they deal in patiant / health care and want you to suceed , ) Any questions please feel free to ask while everything still fresh ,

Dam right !!!!! i totally agree , very professional care , and he has one of the best reputations in europe , Dont go through any of those mickey mouse agencies who only want your money ..... go direct

well thats me back from banding !!! what a rollacoaster ride of thoughts and emotions thats was, from waking up on friday and thinking what the hell am i doing and how did it get to this !!!! to being really happy afterwards that i have done some thing positive to help myself and my family, I have to say,, credit to the ladies who got it done on the same day as me !!!! jesus they all had nerves of steel ...... well ladies, it was a pleasure meeting you all ............ If i hadnt been first think i might have been on next flight home ,,,,,, ( JUST WITH NERVES) Anybody considering this operation i would give 2 bits of advise , 1 go DIRECT with DR chris and frederick and stay away from french cosmetic surgery (tullia ) 2 take some one with you ,
