Hi Garry and everyone who has sent good wishes. Just got back to the hotel. We are all 7 of us doing well. I was the last on the list so didn't get done till after 4pm. Leave the old boilers till last.

Feel ok though bit tender at the moment but glad Sam is here with me for the suppoert and to do the fetching and carring.

All 7 of us have got on well so we have all been looking out for each other.

Will talk again next week as travelling tomorrow am.:)

Hi Garry and Julie, thanks for the warm welcomes.

Good to hear everything went well on Friday for the 7 that were having their surgery.

I've had a reply from Dr Chris telling me he's passing my details to his management for them to contact me. However he doesn't have any available dates for the week I could have gone in February. :)

Not to worry, I'm sure I'll sort something out and may end up going around the same time as you Julie! Maybe the week before you. We can be weight loss buddies!! :w00t:

I have to say, now I've made the decision to do it, I'm so so excited, I'd go tomorrow if I could. There's a thin, happy person waiting to get out.

Quick question for anyone, Dr Chris sent me a medical questionnaire, can I just fill it in myself or do I have to go to my doctor? Do I have to speak to my doctor at any rate before booking it?

Hi jojo you can fill medical questionnaire yourself if you know all the answers.I never contacted my doctor at all untill i came back .Dr chris gives you a letter to give to your gp so it was a week later my gp found out i had the op done.

Hello everyone,

Been looking at some of the previous posts and thinking of going ahead with this procedure. Can someone please post up the e-mail address for Dr Chris De Buryne or Frederick ? or do you have to ring the number on the "Professional Beauty" website ?. Any help appreciated. Best wishes to those above considering or just undergone their surgery.

Thanks for quick response LIL, my husband has just e-mailed him so fingers crossed.

Jean

Hi Jeanie

I just booked up for op on 20/4/10 if u go direct it is cheaper than through an agent, 3800 euro for just the op or 4150 euro for the package, which i went for that includes ur op hotel and taxis from airport to hotel, both ways and to and from hospital before and after op u have to pay for ur flights seperatley, just make sure u book to brussels (BRU) for flights cause taxi from other airports will cost u more

hope this helps

Thanks Bobobaldy and Julie, and welcome Jean - I've replied to your PM hun.

Anyone else pre-op having the same problem I am? I can't stop thinking about it! I'm going to drive myself mad if I can't get it done until April and my obsession doesn't subside a little bit.

Hahaha, good to know it's not just me then Julie, lol.

I've got another question that's just occurred to me... When you confirm the date you are going ahead with it, I presume you have to pay a deposit? How much is that? I'm not sure if I can even book it yet, lol.

I've been doing the same, looking through catalogues and annoying my daughter by saying I want to borrow her clothes when I'm her size (she hates the thought!)

      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..

    • 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!
