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 never had scales at home for obvious reasons however i invested in these bad boys (see link) they are great and very accurate they also give you bmi, body fat,muscle mass water, the ammount of calories you need to sustain weight and visceral fat, now all this mumbo jumbo does help in the weeks that you dont loose weith but you gain muscle if you have been excercising or burn fat. The thing i like was that you get a memory stick with them that you stick in everytime you use them and then into your computer and it shows you all your stats per date and then shows a graph so its easy to track. Now that i have the band i need that ability to se my weight so i dont put on hundreds then think mmmmmm i wonder what weight i am knowing.

Just a wee idea that helps.

Hi kaka i dont know if it helps but wls group are in glasgow in the bupa hospital next to great western rd on the 24th of this month.That is when im getting my next fill.Frederick also told me that they were going to start doing fills in glasgow but when i phoned julie mackintosh to book it she said she knew nothing about it .I dont know if it has changed since.And theres never a problem getting appointments with them which is why i switched from dr chris to them.

hi, thank you for the info - off now to make enquiries.

Welcome back shoes, so glad all went great for you.

Gary that GIZMO sounds awsome, but I dont think I could deal with all the techie stuff, even this pc thingy is scary, but good luck with it, I 'll stick to a quill and parchment for my records, I've only just moved up from chalk and slate, but as I'm not moving weight at all its very frustrating.

Hi kaka pass on my 'congratulations' to your daughter.. bet she is made up, its such a great feeling knowing the weight is finally going to come off and the future seems a brighter one xx

Well done shoe's glad everything went well for you!!!

Hi Guys and Dolls,

Thanks for all the help and advise you have all given me. You have all made me feel so welcome, I really enjoy looking and reading all your stories and news. I have email Fredrick yesterday re new enquiry, still have'nt had a reply, any advise how long I will be waiting for a reply. Tullia has today email me re op date, payment etc. Realy would like to book direct, but not sure how long I will have to wait. Do you think I should send more than 1 email.

hi and welcome, i am pretty sure he will do it however you may need to sign a further consent form for being borderline, i think bmi 30 is that however not completely sure. there is a lovely lady on here called mmm she will i am sure be able to tell you. Both her and i were in belgium at same time. (hope you dont mind mmm)

thank you

i would be grateful for number its just that tullia is requesting 1000 euro deposit tomorrow to reserve my dates in may i feel that going direct would probably be better value for money

thanks again

Mandy,

Cut and paste this link:

Obesity Consultations - Obesity Assist - Obesity Surgery

It's Chris's web site, there's loads of info there and contact details as well.

I have not been for my op yet, but am going soon. I emailed Chris directly, I gave him all my medical history etc, and he gave me a date. I have seen no-one, I have not had to pay a deposit, Frederik said just to pay the whole lot when I get there. The pre consultation is important if you have lots of questions needing answered, I was lucky enough to speak to someone directly who has been to Brussels and had the op done by Chris. I also found this forum that has been extremely helpful, informative & supportive. I did not feel I needed the pre consultation. Infact I am only paying for the op and arranged everything else myself, it was marginally cheaper. But I think the deal Chris offers is fantastic, especially if you do not speak french or flemmish, you have nothing to worry about it is all done for you!

Good luck with your quest!
