Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris

Hey guys, Just a quick one. Does anyone remember the name of our band (the guys banded by Chris) and the maximum fill? I think it's heliogast and 7-9ml, but not sure the maximum you can have in the band? x

hi everyone, haven't been on here for ages ! been banded for 17months now and lost 55 pounds its about time i have a fill now!!

Well I had the breast surgery to remove the lump, they also took out 2 lymph nodes.

When I went for the results they told me that one of the nodes was cancerous so they wanted to remove them all. And this just 2 weeks after the initial surgery, so fast. Found out of friday and the surgery was booked for the following Tuesday, didnt have time to get scared.

Thank God its over now, I'm 2 weeks out, under my arm is so sore, but it will get better I know. I have a fill booked for next thursday in manchester as they had to take it all out except for 2mls before my surgery.

Now I have to start all over, again. This being the second time, as my first band had to be removed due to leakage.

Am I meant to be fat I ask myself????

Hello

So sorry to read about your treatment. Do hope you are soon on the road to full recovery and feeling more like yourself. What a year you have had. Be gentle on yourself and take it easy.

Take care

Hugs, Claire x

Contact Frederik as we all have different sized bands. It's usually a heliogast band and I think I have a 15ml band as this is what he usually fits for ladies and 20ml for blokes. But I would check with Frederik.

Just a quick question I'm going for the package that you get transfers with. I was advised to fly into Brussels international but I'm get much cheaper flying into Charleroi. Did any body else have any problems with flying into Charleroi? Cheers! :-)

Hi there,

I flew to Charleroi too - arranged a taxi as part of the package, think it cost another 100-150 euro?

Oh dear I so need a fill

Had 1.25ml last month which turned out to be too much, ended up in hospital to have a bit taken out. So Im down to 3.5ml which is 0.5ml less than I had when I had the fill (you see?). I'm always hungry and finding it hard to not overeat. Dr Chris wants me to have another xray (I had an xray when I had the defill), though he did say in the next 6 months, but I want to go have a small fill next Thurdsday, I cant afford an xray at the same time!

argh, hopefully he will let me have a small fill

Thank you girls for the good wishes, and thank you Slinx for your sweetness xxx.

Bart put 4mls in for me when I went last week, and my band is tight, its a bit of a shock to the system when you cant eat much after 3 months of eating everything I wanted, greedy piggy I am.

I start Radiology soon, I said no to Chemo, too many side effects, and the doctor said it was ok if I didnt want it, wouldnt make much difference to my life expectancy, so what would be the point.

I know of a lot of people that suffered the horrible effects of Chemotherapy and still died, or got cancer again.

They caught mine pretty early, so the doc reckoned the hormone tablets I have to take for 5 years and the Radiation treatment should prevent it coming back.

I can only hope, meantime I have to get some weight off asap, as my daughter is getting married in Sarisota, Florida early May, so gotta look presentable lol.

Good luck to all the girlies having their bands soon, you wont ever regret it, it kept me going when I was putting weight on, I just thought 'ah well I'll lose it when I get a fill'. Take care all you other girlies.
