thanks emsey. I'm off to Belgium on Thursday I'm starting to freak out!

thanks a lot wannabe, yeah I'm very excited I'm going shopping tomorrow and will finish up the packing.

hi wannabe, i just wanted to ask what kind of food did you have after the opp and for how many days. I want to make sure that i have stock up before i leave on Thursday, i will be back on Sunday .thanks

wow wannabe you are shrinking!!! 12 lbs already thanks for all the advice.

hi emsey, congratulation now that you are banded!! well a quick remedy to relieve pain is to stick both your hand in a bucket of ice, i saw it on TV once then i tried it when i had a toothache to my surprise it work! do you know what kind of health problem the woman had?? I'm a bit worried myself as I am borderline anaemic i don't know if that will be a problem, because i have not been able to donate blood because of that.

wannabe do you have to book a taxi in advance to go the hospital? or you just get one on the day.

thanks freakles

i know what you mean about drain when they are taking it out it dosnt hurt just a very strange feeling like an alien worm is being pulled out they told me to breathe in then pulled it out it lasted for about 15 seconds i didnt find it painful just weired good luck to all the newbies that will soon be joining us as bandsters lol:tongue_smilie:

where do they put the drain?

can anyone tell me if i will be able to fast after my opp,it will be during ramadan (the fasting month for Muslim)where we eat early morning then stop eating before sunrise until sunset. i've never had any problem fasting but this time will that have any effect on my band??

thanks laila when are you getting banded:wink2:

Friday the 13th I'm having my band!! spooky huh!!

I agree with you wannabe, I have read as well on one of the tread that she needed to remove her band and had a new one fitted.it mite work out slightly expensive with Dr Chris but at least if anything go wrong he will know. well has anybody else had their fills with other surgeon?

no hun after surgery,i didn't lose any weight before surgery i was in holland and the food was awful so i lived on mcdonalds and pizza hut lol:huh2:

wow wannabe thats good!! less then a week. do you feel hungry after being banded?

I am on my first day of my pre opt diet and I am doing very well I am doing the slimfast diet and don't seem to be hungry at all!! Yep i think i can do that for 10 days on second thought i could have done that long time wouldn't have needed the band:unsure:

wannabe have you lost that 10 pound before your surgery?

congratulation wannabe slinky!! wish you a safe journey home! you must be very exicted now that you will see the pound comming off!!

I am being banded on the 13th August with Dr Bruyne, is anybody else having their surgery on the same date?

hi all!

i thought i was the only one suffering from that problem, if i miss my lunch i will become very shaky and even however how much i eat it takes a long while before i recover. my whole family suffer fro that problem i thought it was genetic!

i am going to be banded in the next two week i am worried how i will cope with the band.

i am being banded onthe 13th Aug is it only days you can do the pre opt diet?

hi all,

i just want to know has anybody had a sliped band before and if so how much dose it cost to remove it and ahve it replace? has anybody enquiry that with Dr Bruyne?

thanks

How much is Dr CDB charging at the moment? And what is the package you have all had?

I have made enquiries with Frederik and I am waiting to hear back. I am thinking of doing this to nip my weight gain in the bud so i don't drop dead from heart disease like other females in my family. Also, my mum's diagnosis of ovarian cancer was delayed by months due to her weight.

I don't want to take any chances so I want to get a grip on my weight. 14st may not sound a lot but its all relative and I know 14st is not where I am likely to end up. I have generations of female fatties before me.

hi there!

i booked through proffesional beauty they charged 4150 euro but just for the band i had to booked my own hotel at 160 euro for 3 nights for 2 people and i am going to pay my own taxi! £218 for return with eurostar for two people. so i think its best to contact federick directly.

hi MD75 i am having mine on the 13th with Dr De Bruyne Chris!! where r u having yours?

thank for your support frekles.

hi i am getting banded on 13th of august with Dr Bruyne is anybody else getting banded on that date , i can really do with a friend!

thank you very much weemombise and wannabe slinky.

my surgery is now booked for the 13th of august! i am very exicted but very scared of the surgery itself. i have a very low pain threshold i cannot bear any pain not even plucking my eyebrows.I am travellling back onthe 15th august by eurostar so i hope i want be in so much pain.

:tt2:

hello thank you very much can you please give me a bit more information, a phone number for the clinic.
