Recommended Posts

Hi Flirtylass

I got to the hospital at 7:00am. Booked in and was taken to my room. I was told to put on the gown and socks (yes they are big, I was worried about that too lol). I had an ECG and blood test straight away which were fine. I was second in line for the op so didnt have to wait too long but it depends on how many ops he has booked for that day as one lady had her band fitted about 5-6 hours after me.

Hi Flirtylass

Yes you do share a room at the hospital which I was a bit worried about as I snore rather loudly lol but the two women I shared with snored too so it was okay. Dont worry about sharing a room you will be with another English female and its always good to compare notes on how you are feeling. We had a giggle actually and was told to be quiet by the nurses.

Dont worry about asking questions. Feel free to ask anything you want.

Hi English Rose & Everhopeful,

Just to say hello, and hope you are both feeling well after your recent surgery! I was banded just a week before you and still think it is the best thing I have ever done. Also wanted to wish Flirtylass & Bubble all the best for their up-coming surgeries.

By the way Flirtylass, do you think you could let me have Frederik's email address & phone number as I've mislaid the card he gave me with them on? I'd be most grateful, if you could.:confused2:

All the best, Kath.:mad2::huh2:

Hi Mooster

Thanks for your lovely message.

I too think its the best thing I have ever done. I wish I had done it years ago. Is is just me who thinks this or is Frederick absolutely gorgeous. I nearly said you have seen me practually naked, how about returning the favour but thought better of it lol.

I havent felt hungry since being banded. I know its only been 5 days but I love this band already.

Take care

Hi EnglishRose, must admit I have to agree with you about Frederic,and also the other Dr Chris! Saying that, Dr DeBruyne wasnt too hard on the eyes either!!!! Had to behave myself though as my husband went with me!!!!Kath.:):smile::mad2:

Hi Kath

Yes your right Dr DeBruyne wasn't bad either. I could get my fills in the hospital just down the road from me cheaper than going to Wimpole Street but it will be worth paying the extra just to see them both again. lol

Hi EnglishRose,Have you booked a date for your 1st fill yet? I've booked for Sept 18th in London,as it's the next available one, and I will have had my band for 6 weeks by then. Then,by the time I need my next fill, they will have hopefully opened their office's in Manchester,which they said they would be doing around Oct!Bye for now, Kath.:mad2::smile:

Hi Mooster

No I havent booked a fill yet. I think I will wait a week or so before booking it. If I go on the 18th September I would only have been banded for just over 4 weeks so not sure if I will wait until the October date but it will all depends on how hungry I get once I have healed completely.

Do they give plenty of pain med leaving hospital or is there anything i should bring also when can you shower?

Hi,

I got banded by Dr. De bruyne in 2006 in Brussels. He's is a really nice person and put me at ease straight away when I saw him in Edingbrugh for my consultation. The hospital where my op was carried out was also nice and clean, the staff were friendly and everything was explained to me so I knew every stage of my op and recovery. Dr. De bruyne has carried out thousands of lap bandings and is highly recomended. He speaks very good english and you can even contact him by telephone if you have any concerns.

I hope this puts your mind at rest and reasures you that you have made a good decision in choosing him.

I´m sitting here giggling like mad about the eye candy compliments paid to Fredrik and both Nurse Chris and Dr Chris. I know that Fredrik on this forum....I bet he will love reading this....hahahaha!!

I agree though, they´re all good looking guys and as English Rose mentioned it´s not fair that they have seen us not just naked but the iside of us too...ewwww, that´s a nasty thought....lol

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
