Recommended Posts

Morning everyone,

Thanks for all the good wishes and welcome, it's lovely to have all of you there with the answers to all of our newbies questions.

I am still waiting to hear back from CDB after sending off my medical questionnaire - I presume he gets back to you! I have my date 26/5, but don't want to book anything until I know for definate he is going to do it.

I'm still waiting to hear if anyone else is booked in the same date as me.

Hi there!! The 26th May will soon come around! Yes they will get back to you (was it Frederik you emailed) but sometimes take a while! Send another email or give Frederik a ring (that's what I did) if you want to book your travel.

Welcome Suefee,

Ring or go into your bank and give them the details flirty just posted.

Fly into Brussels International Airport, if you have purchased the inclusive package directly with Dr Chris and Fredrick a taxi will pick you up they will have a copy of the LOGO with them holding it up. If you have not booked package you will get a taxi outside the terminal give them hotel details its not that far.

If you want further details PM me and I'll give you my mobile number and run things over with you .mmm.

Thanks mmm there are a few things i would like to go over with you if you don't mind, I've not booked the package so i will have to sort out my travel and hotel the other thing is the forms to fill in i do not know what blood type i am and i would prefer if did not have to tell my doc about the op till after as she is a skinny who does not understand my weight problem so i don't know how helpful she will be .All so how did you feel about paying in cash the day before the opp people ask me if its OK and that's why i am nervous as its a lot of cash to carry and hand over

Hi,

No I sent it to CDB via snail mail - I couldn't fill in the form on-line - it wouldn't let me. I think I will email him. I want to get it sorted next week as I'm then away and come back home the day before leaveing for Brussels. Tight timing but worth the hassle.

Hi CW - yes I had my 1st fill a fortnight ago. It was 1 day short of 4 weeks since the op. I was a bit worried it would be painful but I didn't feel a thing!! When is urs? 2nd fill Sunday - wow hoooo!! I'm going with the WLS package - £349 for unlimited fill for 6 months. I think it's worth it as I like to know where I stand - I have paid and that's it for 6months. Also you can get then done every 2 weeks in London if you need them. I just need some help from the band as my will power just isn't helping. Well I guess that's why I had the op in the first place!!

I think we're gonig away in June. It's great but I will look a state on the beach! I thought we wouldn't be going away because of the cost of the op and pre-op hol but I have worked my magic and persuaded hubby I need a break!! :w00t: It would be good to lose at least a stone before then.

Hi Sam, I have'nt had a fill yet I think it maybe to early??

Also I was under the impression according to the booklet you should have a fill six weeks after the Op? but maybe Ive read it wrong lol :):blushing:

Im gonna email fredrich me thinks and find out when I can have one,,, That price with wls is pretty good I might go for that...Have a great holiday you deserve it I need one too lol:lol:

Hi Sammy77

Do you have Frederiks phone number? I've not got his, I might ring rather than email.

Thanks x

Serneels Frederik

General manager

ECFS

Phone: 0032(0)472019091

Give him a call, he's usually good at taking his calls! At least you can then start booking ur flights etc. Let us know how you get on x

Can't Weight - they say for ur 1st fill 4-6 weeks depending on how you feel. For me it was either 4 weeks (less a day) or 7 weeks and I didn't want to wait! It really didn't hurt at all and I'm glad I went for it now. I'll let you know how I get on with WLS, I know Gillian, Bigisis and Bobobaldy are using them and said they were great. At least if you buy a package u know where u stand, u may win or lose out if u only need 3/4 but I'm taking the gamble!!

I think that is my downfall with food and drink the moment i start drinking i don't want to eat anything but might have to force myself plus my husbands mate is cooking lots of curry and stuff for tomorrow yum yum that should gain a few pounds!

Going to need it don't want bmi to drop below 35 or i'm screwed!!!!!!

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
