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 sammy, i think i was the same when i seen 1 of the nurses at the dr's surgery.. i was the 1st person she had seen who had had a band fitted and she didnt know a lot about it so i took her some of the paper work we had from belgium for her to read, she was fascinated. Hope you get the approval from your dr.. a bit late if you dont tho lol x

Hi gary ye she found it no probs .She said to me do you want it standing up or lying down EHHHH i think i will take it lying down after the near fainting experience,So she asked me to lie on the table and lift my two legs up as this brings the port nearer the skin.She found it straight away and put the 1ml in and sooked it all out to make sure ther was no leaks.So everthing seems fine fingers crossed

Thats me at 8.75ml.I dont know if its mind over matter but drinking the soup it does seem to be going down a little slower but that happened the last fill and there was no restriction.

Hi bobobaldy - 10lbs off is a very good loss to say you haven't felt any restriction yet, so well done! Hope you will be getting the magic feeling soon, Bigsister x

Hi bobobaldy well done on your weight loss 10lb is really good, when did you have your last fill? i still havnt lost any this time after last fill x

Hi fatladyslim welcome to the forum you will find everyone really friendly and always happy to help with any questions you may have. I got my band in january and booked my surgery through www.europesurgery.co i booked the flights,hotel ect myself but i think the package one does work out slightly cheaper.. its the best thing i have done, it's not a miracle cure it's still hard work but the band is a massive help, i have no regrets and would recommend it to anyone also i would recommend dr chris and his team they are all great, any questions ask away im sure one of us will be able to help x
