Hi everyone, Im hoping some of you can help me on this. I am based in ireland and as I have a bmi of 33 I am apparently not big enough to qualify for having the band in Ireland and if i did my medical insurance wouldnt cover it. There is a clinic over here who make bookings for a very well renowned surgeon in Belgium called Dr Christiaan De Bruyne who I have heard wonderful things about, but they are charging 6900 euro for the surgery and one years after care, while his site has the same op available for 4100 euro. I am torn between booking it directly with him and cutting out these robbers :biggrin: but I am thinking about my after care. I know he visits the UK every week, and I could fly over to meet him i suppose but this would be very inconvenient. Are there any others out there from Ireland who have been banded by Dr De Bruyne? I would love to hear from you. I know that if i tired to book my aftercare seperate over here i would be RIPPED off.. But it still might be cheaper in the long run!!

im in the states and having mine done in Mexico hes been on oprah and is a co founder of the band

they also charge 6500 usdollars. which i guess is around the same price for you. if you get the 4100 but if not then its cheaper.

hes amazing, my friend and her mom had him.

i dont really know, i have a friend from belgium. :biggrin: I dont know how much your going to travel, but its worth it for me, we're going to save so much this way. Insurance will reimburse us around 4500 so we will pay 2000 for the surgery.

Hi there, thanks for the reply, do you mean that Dr De Bruyne has been on Oprah and that he is a founder member of the band?

Wow, now that is impressive..
