Yeah gillian leaving here at 4sunday morn for airport wil be in belgium at 9.30am so il do some shopping in brussels but yeah like u i think id rather being closer to home being here or uk cos it defo is a bigger op than band and god forbid even if it was a wee infection u got it would be a nightmare and id like to be able to have easy access to the surgeon/hospital i have a consult in dublin the end of may i know the tt with Lipo is €8200 and arms are €6000 but id near be prepared to pay that even though i want to research more into the uk cos i think it could be wee bit cheaper even with a top surgeon but defo not going near a cosmetic clinic has to be a general hospital id just feel safer but il find out all i can from dr chris and report back...

yes youll be best having it done in a general hospital, thats what i think too..id be scared of an infection or bleed too. i was ok going to belgium for band as it is lower risk surgery. but need to research tummy tucks and risks properly. youll find someone who you are happy with..good luck, and have a great trip sunday, hope it all goes well for you and your friend..and the others from off here!..dont have too much of a craic after or youll have them doubled up...not in laughter but pain!..in the bed at the side of me was a dublin girl and her two sisters were joking around..i would have been in stitches normally....but i was in stitches instead!..had to hold onto my tummy tight to just laugh!! x

CW, glad to see you back safe and sound.

Awesome that you have lost so much in such a short time.

I went to Montego bay a couple of years ago, and couldnt eat the gorgeous food after the flight, so be prepared for your band tightening up hunny.

Hi Everyone,

Well the time is flying by, 2 weeks Tuesday................ Some days I am so excited and other days I am full of doubts (whether I'll be OK), silly I know, after all you have all been through it. I just want it to be sucessful.

Can anyone tell me what part of London do you go for your fills? I am trying to get myself organised in my head before I go to Belgium so that I know what question to ask - I think I will write the all down otherwise I will forget!

Westie x

This maybe the wrong place Im posting. First time please be patient. I have been looking to get a band done for almost a year and have visited the nuffield in Glasgow and also Ross Hall. On both occasions I was turned down as they said my BMI at 35 was too low and would only consider it if I had other complications. I have been in contact with another company who say they would do it but the cost is £7000 including a years follow up. I came across this site while doing my research and I am really interested in Dr DE Bruyne's clinic and prices. Have also noticed people getting fills in Glasgow. I have tried to follow the posts but they really are confusing. Also interested in the full package ie taxi, hotel, band that the doctor provides. Any info would be greatly appreciated. May I say the weight losses are inspiring and apologise for my babbling, just so anxious for info. Thanks J

Hi All .........Thanks for the warm welcome.

Gary can you give me details of where to find the 'all in package'. I've had a look but cant seem to see it anywhere.:glare: .......I rang yesterday and might be able to get the surgery for the end of July. Dont really want to wait that long but I work for education and we're not allowed time off outside of school hols.

I was interested to read about the Kelp tablets for Hair loss, wonder if i would be worth taking them before the surgery!!!

To baby Jane and Homecare

Liz, I was wondering where you got to:unsure:...so glad you made it here, peoples, please welcome my little friend baby Jane:thumbup:

Sweetie where are you going for your band? Have you told me and I've forgotten, if so please forgive me.:glare:

Homecare, I know exactly what you mean we do tend to ramble on a bit in this thread, me especially.

I wasnt banded in Belgium so I am not the best person to ask, but all the others here have been and will willingly advise you, so stay tuned :eek:

Jackie, I have taken Kelp for a number of years now, and they do work.

I have had a lot of stress lately, with the family, and I have given up smoking, and the only signs of this have been a flaking scalp, I think it could have been a lot worse if it hadnt been for the kelp tabs. So yes they are worth taking, before your surgery.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
