Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris



Recommended Posts

Thanks for the replies Homecare & Gillian and for the welcome Freckles. I agree with you Gillian, she is pretty scary!!:smile: definately gonna give her a body swerve. I was totally confused about the websites available & who represented who but you've made it clear now. There was a phone call for me this morning which I missed (at work) and an email I've just received from Bridget. I posted an enquiry and she got back saying I've passed your details onto the surgeon for the next available date. She followed it up with a 2nd email saying the next dates 23rd of June Wednesday and Friday afterward for surgery. Now I'm really confused what does that mean:huh2: If you hadn't said she was with Dr Chris I probably would have emailed her saying I only enquired what a cheek blah blah.

I know it can get confusing!!!!!!! I went with Bridget and she is really helpful!!!!

If she left a contact number just give her a ring! If not just e mail her back saying your unclear of the surgery date!!! Once you have that we can help you with the rest!!!

Thanks for getting back to me Sammy and Freckles!!!!

just wondering if anyone has any problems with salad? ????

Just think that if i haven't got my first fill for another month then going to have to start solids and keep it healthy!!!!

odge

i was surprised by the ammount of willpower the band actually gives you before your fills start to make a difference, look at flirty, i dont have restricition yet and due to being away i have missed 2 months of fills.

Youl be fine dont panic.

HI ALL well this time next week i will be in Belgium my surgery is next Wednesday and i am feeling very positive at the moment .I have told every one that i am having it done the reason be i am thinking it might help me stay on the straight and narrow until i get my restriction .How much time did any of you have off work as my job involves some lifting .I still cant find anyone being banded on the 3 June but i suppose there will be others when i get out there xxx suefee :smile:

sue

good on you it wont be long and all over and done and you will be on the loosing side, initially was only going to take a few days, however although you feel fine you get tired very easy at strange times so i would reccomend at least a week hoever that depends on wither you can dodge the lifting as i really would not be lifting for a couple of weeks.

Thank you for that, I'm sure I'll be blubbing for any help I can get. I've fantasised about being banded for years now but never actually looked in to it until now. This thread has helped me immensely already, it's given more answers than anything I've read anywhere else and everyones frankness has been an eye- opener. I know its not gonna be like in my fantasies where I get banded, the weight drops off me with ease and I turn into a wee honey in no time at all. Reading this thread has made me think realistically and helped in my decision to go ahead with it, the good results seem to out-weigh the bad days (one blog I read somewhere scared the bejeezus out of me and nearly damn-well put me off for life).

I managed to get in touch with Bridget and shes going to call back with a date, probably July 1st or there abouts now. :blush:

yes!!.i asked everyone else and no one else had it except me..its not the soreness of the op still, its where its sewn in to he muscle. it got to the point where i was thinking id have to go and have another op to loosen it.it hurt when i bent down, got up etc or any exertion..it lasted for about a month to 6 weeks and wasnt nice. my fill nurse said it is sewn in like a button and will loosen off with time and weight loss, and it ends up like a loose button..so i know its tight now, and its miserable, but it will go, i couldnt wear anything except very loose elasticated trousers as anything pressing on it or bending really twinged it. it was fine when i was sat still though..so if this is same as you..it will go, but may be good few weeks..x

Hi Gillian & Freckles,thanks for your replys was starting to get a bit worried thought port had flipped over or had an infection i emailed Fred but still waiting for reply,you both are doing really well great you have restriction i am going for third fill 8Th June hoping to get a bit of restriction then have none at the mo the weight loss has come to a stand still even tho im only having 1000 cals a day:smile::blush:

a few of us have been with bridget.she organises it all with chris, she is nice and not pushy..you will have to organise your own reservation at the hotel (campanille vilvoorde is most convieneint and all here have used it) which is done in few mins online, also your flights which we all have to do, just remember that flights to brussels international are better than flights to charleroi(brusels south) we got really cheap flights to the latter but its a long way away and if you have a taxi it works out expensive. between the hosp and hotel you will need taxis and reception at the hotel will help you with this..the package that doc chris and frederik provide themselves include the taxis and transfers which does make it easier..i just found the communication a bit slow and went with bridget who arranged it all within an hour or so. cos when i had decided i wanted it yesterday! think most others on here have done the package though and are happy with their experience..one way or the other though..its surgery the same with dr chris whoever you book with. hes a top surgeon who has done 4000+ successfull ops. he does them day in day out. hosp is immaculate and staff brilliant..good luck!

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      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..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • 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. 💜
