Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris

Hi

I have decided to get the procedure done - just have to save up for it. I live in uk and want to go to Brussels as it seems cheapest and safest there. Anyone know of the above?

Thanks

I too was sh***ing myself about the injections, when my dad was alive he was diabetic and i could not even stick watching him inject himself let alone do it too myself. The first one i was adament that i would do myself and to be completely honest it is nothing, i dont even feel the needle, maybe because it goes into the fat and i have plenty. All in all form a big woos it was easy so dont worry about it at all.

Hi Tony. I think they prefer cash but it is possible to pay the majority of it by bank transfer. You have to pay a deposit by this method anyway so just ask if you are able to pay more when you do this. Congratulations on making the decision, bigsister x

Hi Tony

I am a36 yr old male and was banded last friday, if you go with the std package that is 4070 eure and they like to recieve a deposit of 470 euro which books hotels and txis, the balance of 3600 is payable in euro cash the night before. The deposit they will accept via bank transfer and they will give you all details if not i could send you a copy of the letter with all the above details on it.

Any questions just ask.

Garry

fantastic, you must feel fab!

I'm going with her & staying at the Campanile - hopefully it's passable!?!?

thank you so much for your help.

welcome kaka, You've come to the right place, this group will help you and your daughter through your journey.

My daughter was banded in summer 2007 and has lost 4 st, seeing the results has motivated me to get the band done, I was in the fri 13th group, although i had to put on about 9lb to get my BMI up to 35 it has been so worth it, my main reason was to stop yo yo dieting so who knows it might be you going to belgium in a few years.

Have you booked the package with frederick, I found everything organised to perfection with no worries, even the taxi drivers he ordered spoke fluent english and were more like limo drivers, even the chamber maids were 100% fluent and offered extra pillows etc.

thank you for this mmm. thankfully I have managed for a year to keep my weight the same (still one stone over what i should be) but it has taken me 20 years to accomplish that - i did it on Lighter Life. my daughter tried LL too but couldn't stick that or any other diet so off to Belgium we go so fingers crossed for her.

Hi kaka i also stayed at the camanile.. the rooms are clean, staff helpfull and the food lovely, the night before surgery, my last supper i had steak and chips followed by belgian chocolate mouse.. it was heaven after being strict with myself on the preop diet x

Welcome to the forum can't weight, your date will soon be here.. its surprising how quick the time goes once you book your op. You will be in safe hands so no worry there, any questions just ask away x

Hi shoes bet your glad you have found someone going to get banded the same time as yourself, i booked the same day as gillian and bigsister and it did help to have someone there who i already kind of new, because of the forum x

Hi Wishfull, so glad there will be somebody going at the same time,all though my hubby is great he's a little gem i don't think he fully understands what I'm going through, i don't talk much about it to him i don't want to worry him, this forum is so good you can say how you really feel because peep's here are all going through the motions before and after,I'm starting pre op diet tomorrow what a bummer starting at the weekend:cursing: never mind i normally start on a Monday an it's all over Tuesday so it's probably a blessing,

How are you getting on Wishfull still got some restriction hows your diet going x :eek:
