Recommended Posts

Glad to hear how much weight you have lost Garry, its brilliant!!! Carrie, enjoy the chocs girl, you deserve them.

I had a fill on 10th December, Freddyboy would only put 2 and a quarter mls in even though he took out 3 in October, but he was right, I cant eat like I did after that de-fill.

I'm back now to the weight I was before the de-fill and after xmas I may try to be good and not drink or eat choccy, if i cant I'll get another fill cos I have another 2 stone to go.

I drink every night, I always have a couple of Scotch or a couple of bottles of Bud, no probs for me at all, I think they make these rules up as they go along. How boring cant eat, cant drink, it'll be no sex soon lol.

Of course you get tiddley quicker cos there's not much food to absorb it, that suits me fine lol.

Hiya Sharon

Only just joined site as Ive only just emailed regarding the banding.

Im really scared going to Belgium to have it done. The quotes Ive had in England are really expensive and they go on about after care etc being really important but it sounds like Dr Chris follows you up regularly.

Apart from the forum do you know anyone personally who has had this done?

Hiya

Im looking at prices for flights from Manchester. Is the hotel/hospital far from the airport?

Dr Chris says you can have your consultation the day before in Brussels. Does anyone know if anyone has been refused after travelling to Brussels?

Dr Chris says that he needs to see you once a year for a check up (x-ray etc) Is this £100 and then it says she will have to have a refills. Are refills every year at the check up? and do these cost more as well as the check up fee?

Hope someone can help?

Hi Annnicol,

I'm just new myself !

I know 3 people personally who have had the operation (Mar '08 for them)...they all travelled to Belgium and were operated on by Dr. Chris De Bruyne...they have all had very successful weight losses and no problems. Dr. Chris travels to Edinburgh (and other places around Britain) on a monthly basis for fills, etc. and from what I've read you can buy an "after-care" package from a British company (can't think of name at the moment, sorry) that provides unlimited fills, support, diet info, etc. I will look into that more once I come home.

I'm travelling into Brussels international airport. It's very close to the hospital. For going home I am travelling with Ryanair and they fly from Charleroi airport...this is a good hours drive away by taxi (around £80).

It is a huge saving to go to Belgium...even though the exchange rate isn't too great at the moment.

Hope this helps...x

Hello everyone I was banded in Dublin January 2007 the company went into liquidation and the aftercare was virtually non existent. I havent had much success with the band as I am either overfilled or can eat anything.

Anyway I went to see Chris Duprez in Dublin for a fill and he said my port was now way too close to my skin and it would need to be replaced. I have been in touch with Chris De Bruyne and it will cost 2000 euro to have the port replaced.

Has anyone else had to have this done with Chris? Would love some feedback.

Thanks a million

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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
