Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris

You could but i think that you would be better off trying to have Soups you make yourself, i know that you get all your minerals etc from cambridge but you have to be able to drink them in a certain amount of time before they go funny and i dont think that you would be able to do that straight after your band. If you are having to tip them away then you will not get anywhere near the amount of calories you need. Also if you are having this surgery then i would use it as a reason to never have to think about having to drink any diet related shake for the rest of your life!

thanks carriejess just panicking cause i wont be back home to northern ireland till about 4 days after op i will just take soups and yoghurt till i get home thanks hun,how far gone are you now and are you keeping well:wink2:

Yeh I agree with Carrie, why bother having diet drinks, apart from the cost, its just not worth it babe.

I take those Bassets chewy Vitamins, they taste lovely and never have trouble getting them down, tip for all you losers.

Hey I'm really good thanks, almost five months and still managing to stay in my size ten trousers although with the aid of an elastic band! I have had most of the Fluid taken out of my band so i can eat more than i used to be able to and i eat way to many crisps but i'm not that worried!

Are you excited about your op?

I got so excited 4got 2 answer you question. I was sent a link with a bank details to pay the deposit in.

Ahh bless you two, I really feel for you. I felt the same way,,, apprehension its called, which is fear of the unknown and you may still feel that way after the op. Then after a while you will know it was the best decision you could ever have made.

You wont ever look back and every time you see a poor overweight person you feel so sorry for them and want to rush over to explain about your band, but you wont be able to do that.

It was one of the most rewarding things i have ever done in my life, and believe me you will feel the same, so confident that you wont ever put the weight back on again, as we did with so many of the silly diets we tried.

A real life changer. my thoughts will be with you both as i am going to a wedding on 31st July and a christening on 1st August and I am so looking forward to dressing up in lovely clothes and looking slim, for the first time in years.

Carrie you have done so well to stay in your tiny clothes, God bless you babe you deserve it, you have worked so hard.

Slinky, I've had 4 babies, and believe me the labour pains I had were far worse than the band pain.

I think the oxygen they give you helps so much, gives you a feeling of well-being, as well as the morphine.lol

I just had a stinging sensation around the port area, but nothing major.

The thing is I was banded both times in the Bupa/Spire by Michael Van den Bossche, and he doesnt use drains as Dr Chris does, I dont know if that makes any difference or not, to the pain.

I would go through it again if I had to, and I'm a big baby.

Carrie have you found out the sex of your baby or dont you want to?
