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

Hi guys

The swelling i spoke about round my port under the skin still has not went down however i went and got it checked by doc and they say it is a collection of old blood under the skin and should disperse, i have put a pic below it looks like i am pregnant and the babies bum is sticking out.

Hi guys

The swelling i spoke about round my port under the skin still has not went down however i went and got it checked by doc and they say it is a collection of old blood under the skin and should disperse, i have put a pic below it looks like i am pregnant and the babies bum is sticking out.

Lol i wondered what that was, then i read it :confused: . It should fingers crossed go down soon.. at least you got it looked at and it's nothing serious and that you dont need anymore surgery :) x

Hi Gary you bump is really cool, but I got another theory, when you went out for a walk with Sian in Belgium you CAUGHT her pregnancy, she has'nt got a bump yet and she said she'll travel to scotland in 7 months time when you have delivered it for her.:confused:

Freckles we are running parrallel lives, so I'll pick you up on the way to Big Sister and Gillians, next Saturday, I have found out their surname is Tickles, and the address is:

100 Upto Nogood

Round The Twist

Wherever in Gigglingtown.

The only thing I need to confirm is whether its the 1st or 2nd turning off the magic roundabout, I wont bother bring chairs cos they have a sofa outside, (how posh):)

I still think its excellent, and you were so good sticking to the pre-op diet. I did mine for about a week, because I was on holiday and I lost about 4 lbs, which was ok, but a struggle toward the end, so you have done marvellously.

I wouldnt tell them about your band if you feel that way, you know your family better than anyone, and its too personal I think.

People in general seem to think its an easy way out, but we all know its not. We still have to work with the band.

Poor you Garry, that looks like my tum, its swollen too, but just around the midriff area.

So how is it going to disperse?

Mmm, :crying::lol:...ok its a date, that will be nice and fresh sitting outside, in case the currys too hot.:ohmy:

If you drive, I'll bring the booze.:rolleyes:

Hi freckles, there is only 4 people who know about my band.. i dont want people thinking im cheating and iv taken the easy route, but it isnt easy.. you still have to work at it. Im sure now you have a 'working' band your weight loss will be better this time round x

Hunny try not to care about what people think, its your body and you are now in control of it.

You took the first, hardest step. Even the nurse who took out my stitches said to me today, I think you are very brave to get surgery:eek:

And we are, all of us.

I hope my weight comes off as fast as yours chick, though I have got a raging appetite now, since packing in smoking, its doubly hard.:rolleyes:

But I feel so much better and walk faster too, my hubby is amazed.

Eh bachelors!!!!! what about the gals as all you lot of lovely ladies are all spoken for.

Hi kaka im glad everything went so well for your daughter, she should still take it easy and get as much rest as she can. How where the other 2 ladies after there surgery and what amazing weight loss they had x

thanks wishful & had to collect her from work this aft!! but feeling much better after a couple of hours sleep. taking tomorrow off as well and we can take from there.

Hi mmm - how did you know our address. It's not a good idea to put it out in the public domain you know! Anyway, yes, as Gillian has volunteered, I will shout everyone's curry. But no need to drive, Gillian will do a round trip and pick everyone up. Yes, the outdoors sofa is posh, as long as it hasn't been wet weather and you don't mind the flies from the skip. Hope Garry can make it - it may not be advisable to travel in his delicate condition tho! Don't know about bachelor status - you'll have to find someone willing to take on your little 'bundle' too!

It is a shame we can't meet up for real isn't it, would be great to put faces to the names.

Wishfull - you were asking about rice. Gillian has trouble with it but I haven't so far. Have also had a chicken fajita tonight and the tortilla wrap thing went down fine. Haven't really had any trouble with anything yet I don't think but haven't had the guts to try bread.

Hope everyone is well, particularly Shoes and Kaka's daughter who are now home, take care, bigsister x
