Hi Cant Weight, I didn't book directly through Frederick but I think others on here have had to bug him a bit with e-mails to get a reply, so keep sending them and he will get back to you - eventually! I'm sure everything is in place, other forum users have been in this position before as well and it has been fine. I think if you have booked the basic package (4070 euros?) rather than the deluxe (about an exta 500?), then your hotel is likely to be the Campanile (Vilvoorde). Bigsister x
hi m ate how you doing, i was like you and wondered what was happening as long as he has confirmed the reciept of your deposit then its cool. What i done was i mailed him and asked him to confirm what the airport collection details were and the accomodation ( it will be campanille but ask anyway) I think what both parties forget is that for us its a big thing and expect constant communication however for them they do around 20 ops per peek and its just the norm for them. I think they kind of forget it becomes the only thing on our minds.

Mail him and he will get back to you.

Garry

Thanks Guys,

I got a email Today funny enough with the details :)

I wonder if he reads the forum lol........

Hi cant weight, campanile is a little basic but very clean and has good comfortable beds, look through past pages cos you'll need to take extras like tea bags and large mugs (they only supply egg cup sized plastic cups), Breakfast and evening meal is NOT included in the price and is quite expensive.

I would not be surprised if Fred reads this cos whenever theres a problem it quickly gets resolved after airing it on here. Oh when you get to brussels. your taxi pick up will be holding a card with the blue and green company logo.

you will get loads of info from past posts, plus if you go onto u tube miss flump has posted a video which shows the interior of the hotel and hospital (search miss flump).

Well it's Fatpants here!

I just want to tell you all that I got quite upset and frustrated after writing that long message this afternoon. I neglected my work and my kids because I felt so strongly that freckles should not be intimidated into not writing about what is important to her. Her Mother is I am sure a huge part of her life and if she feels like telling us whats happening, I, for one want to here it.

Anyway, my low fat diet went out the window this afternoon as I just, comfort ate, a whole cadbury's Easter Egg!!!!!!

ALL of you take Care

Hi Janemary I know your there come and say hi this group is great and we pride ourselves on being here for information and all types of support.

my mum kindly passes on her best wishes to you both. they say it will disperse itself so i am not worried about it, i will keep an eye on it. I have been able to do some running again so feel mentally raring to go again as i know this along with my fill will kickstart the weighloss again so bring it on. Hopefully it will go away if not i will let chris see it next week and if i have to go to belgium again then so beit but i dont think so.

All you pre op people dont be put off by this, it is just old blood collected under my skin.

Hi fatpants, it goes to show we are all need support and use food, as our prop. I've also put on 2lb in the last few days, but together we'll beat this, as a support group its important we help each other with what ever our issues are, so feel free to shout, scream stamp and do what you need to do, I for one will be here to listen.

I wonder if the naughty, and funny, fab sisters managed their curry this week after their band fill. Hi girls if your there let me know, I'm soooooooo needing a fill I'm putting on weight again.

Your weight gain will probably turn out to be Fluid, because to have such serious medical issues you could very well have been de hydrated so it wont be fat, keep up the good work, water aerobics sound good, I even gain weight/fluid when I go swimming I know it sounds strange but my skin absorbs water, if I weigh before a bath and straight away after, with nothing to eat or drink in between I can gain 3lbs easily but its only fluid and temporary and is gone by the next morning. Happy days :)

Hi flirty, glad your pampering yourself this week!..dont let that pound or two discourage you like mmm said it was prob cos you were dehydrated, and after all those workouts, it may be that your gaining muscle?..i dont know these things, but im sure wendy will tell you with her super dooper anylising print out scales (wish i had some!).glad your much better though.x

Hi mmm!...yes! we managed our curries!..although smaller portions, I made pear crumble for afters, but didnt manage to have any as i got discomfort after eating the curry..its strange as it feels like im all tight in the chest neck area,but it even feels like its in the sinus area too!..whats all that about then?. i dont feel any different restriction after the fill,but i didnt have much put in..ill be having more in next week..i know everyone is different so, it could be quite a few fills before i reach good restriction. its still hard work though, im easily managing no chips, cos they hurt a bit, but the chocolate thing is killing me,as its slips down so easy! hope everyone else is doing well pre and post banders?..

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
