Any advice? I don't know anyone who has band surgery in this area or India or even Europe...

Sincerely,

Christy

Hi,

I live in Abu Dhabi. Chris De Brutenne comes to the Emirates Hospital in Dubai two days each month. I am having a band "installed" by him in September. Check out the website for the hospital. Hope this helps.

Dear Kando,

Can you pls tell me how ur surgery went? i am having mine on nov 3rd at emirates hospital.. any info u can give me will be useful! thanx

My surgery went very smoothly. Dr. Debruyne is one of the top lap band surgeons. The nursing aftercare was also excellent. I feel like the postsurgery aftercare/patient ed at Emirates could be improved greatly. Not that it is "dangerous" in any way, just minimal. I was grateful that I had spent so much time educating myself so that I knew what to expect. I haven't had any problems other than the normal ones like being too tight or eating too fast, etc. I have lost over 90 pounds and am still losing so very pleased all in all. You are in good hands with Dr. Chris.

Hi

I was banded by CDB in Belgium in April 2006. Chris is one of the most experienced banding surgeons in Europe, as well as being a fab person, and has loads of UK patients. Feel free to PM me with any questions.

I live in Doha, and am having Al Amadi hospital, Dr. Mohammed Al Amadi is doing the proceedure. It looks as if I am one of the few 'western' people he has done.

Hi All,

I live in Doha and had the surgery on the 10th. I didnt go to a private hospital, I did it through Hamad hospital in Al Khor. You will be referred to General surgery but the surgeon is a bariatric surgeon and quite skilled. He also treats you as a person and not as a patient and even gives out his mobile number for concerns.

I must say the care was first rate and would recommend a consultation with Dr. Hijran to anyone...... oh..... btw, I am north american

:smile2:Hello My name is Rosalyn I am thinking about having The Lap band surgery in Doha, I am looking for a good Doctor wondering what that price would be also how is the recovery and patient care. Thanks
