Hi, just joined!

Im trying to get boked up with Dr Chris but after reading some of the forums I'd like to find out how much he charges if you book direct and how do I book direct?

thanks everyone

Hi Yardass,

I didn't book direct i went through Bridget at europesurgery.co.uk She was great! You go on the website and go to obesity surgery! You'll see dr Chris on there and can email your stats like weight height etc! She'll get back to you! It cost me €3950 and you pay €250 of that as a deposit once you've booked a date! The rest you pay him on the day of surgery!!!

Hope this helps!

Hi bobolady, did you pay extra for your band? I am sure that when i had my op the band you have was more expensive, or maybe that was a different band and i am just getting confused!

Hi all hope everyone is good ,been away and catching up on the banter, I have kicked the ar*e oot the bevvy and food for a week but hey ho i am back to being good again, you got too have a blast every now and then. I have definatly got the sweedish band and i never paid any premium for it, i think it had to do with my size, i believe it too be a 14-15ml band.

Hi mandy, your op date has come round really quick.. you must be really excited. My last supper at the hotel campanile was steak and chips followed by belgian chocolate mouse, it was delicious, especially after being strict on my pre-op. The day you are discharged from hospital, well that evening frederik comes to your hotel just to check you are ok and while he was there i booked my 1st fill for 4 weeks after my op, in manchester the fill is £90, its right by the airport so its easy to find. How is your pre-op going x

Thanks wishfull, yes it has come round quick, it is 9 weeks since I booked, I am both scared and excited. The pre op diet has been realy hard, we have been out 2day with some mates, I had chicken salad for dinner and soda Water to drink all day. I have been realy good, I have had only 1 glass of wine and I hope this will not mess it up for me. Thanks for the advise, I will prob book my 1st fill with frederik. I have lost about half a stone since starting the diet, so i hope that it will carry on when I am banded. Will keep you posted. x

Hi,

I just went in my bank with all the details about their bank and they just did it using their exchange rate. It cost £15 for the privalige of doing it though! It would be a lot better if we could pay the balance via card, cheque or tansfer as its a lot of money to get out in euro's and be carrying around.

My op is on 26 May, and I'm getting very excited now - start my pre op diet on Tuesday week. x

Hi Yardass

I too have booked through Bridget, 3950 euro's. My date is 26th May. I have transferred my deposit of 250 euros to Dr CDB's account and will take the balance of 3700 euro's with me. I have booked to go on the Eurostar and the hotel (Campanile) independantly.

Any questions you have just ask on this site as we are all at different stages and everyone is only too pleased to be of help. Westie:thumbup:

Just checked and this is what it says...

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 75 by 75 pixels or 512.0 KB (whichever is smaller).

If you cant resize it small enough in Tinypic send it to me via Private message and I'll resize it for you hun.

      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..

      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. 💗

        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!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
