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

Garry..have you got a photo?! x

I know this is Dr Chris's thread, but I just wanted to show you my surgeon...Michael Van den Bossche.

If you watch this lady's video, quite early on in the clip, you see her going to the Spire, Southampton, and then she talks with Michael.

Aint he sexy:blushing::thumbup:

BBC - Inside Out - South - Obesity

On the second clip you'll see the dietitian, Rhoda, she was the one who said I had lost height!!!!

And Michael again.

Hi gary, the decision about going to belgium for ultra sound is up to you but if it was me i think i'd leave it for a while and see how things go, or at least till you have your next fill, by the time your fill comes round it may of gone down in size again. You could end up paying the extra money out when you dont really have to. Let us know what you decide x

yip your right however my reason was that he struggled to find port becuase of the hematoma and suggested an ultrasound, i cant get an app for april in edinburgh and can in may but i am at a stag weekend and then it will be june which is too far away so i want another fill asap. I have pretty much decide to just try frederik at Manchester next week and if he gets it great if not i will just need to wait.

Iam so impatient, typical man.

Gary have you contacted Chris Duprez, he does additional clinics, (not only for cdb clients) he might be in your area on a different date, and might be able to see you. You dont go through the usual booking system but need to contact him directly, he charged £80 to do the fill in Newport, and there were clients there from different Belgium hospitals and surgeons. I have his contact details if you need them. As you know he is part of the management team and will have your notes with him

Hi Mags honey

I heard this guy done it in glasgow, frederik even said, if you could send me his contact details that would be great.

Thanks

Poor Garry I hope you find somewhere for a fill soon

I cant get into Southampton until 30th April so may as well wait until 7th May in Manchester.

My port still feels very tender though, so maybe I should wait.

I only know of the manchester Xray and i wouldnt use them out of principal, is there anywhere else, does anyone know?

I may feel more like going in April, next week.

Hi tamisu i had this feeling after my 1st fill but i didnt feel any difference after my 2nd, im sure yours will start to loosen up.. wish mine was like that now. I go for my 3rd fill next week so i hope i will get some restriction from that. How much have you got in your band now? x

Hi wishfull, thanks for the reply. I have 5 (ml, cc, whatever). My third fill isn't until April 30th, but if this doesn't get better, I'm not gonna have anymore put in. You've also been getting your fills from Frederik, right? -T

Hi gary i can see why you want a fill and not have to wait, if you go to manchester next week i may see you.. BUT if i was you id just turn up at the edinburgh clinic, im sure yiu would get a fill done, i done that in manchester, turned up without a app and i got one no problem, i would do it again if i had to. Hope frederik doesnt read this lol x

Hi tamisu yes frederik has done my fills, i have 5ml also but doesnt feel like. You never know you might be one of the lucky one's who only needs a couple of fills x

Hi perky i took a slim fast with me and a couple of cup a soups for the day after the surgery, i only managed less than half of 1 cup a soup, i got some apple juice when i was there but thought it was awful so i just drank water.. make sure you get as much rest as poss. Goodluck and i look forward to reading your posts when your feeling up to it x

Heck - I managed a litre of pear juice and 1 or 2 (can't remember!) cup a soups the next day. I ordered soup from the restaurant but gave in as it had too many lumps in! Could have murdered my hubby's roast chicken and chips!! :thumbup: Actually it was the day after that I fancied nicking a chip but I didn't. He actually commented on him having the ability to eat all his meal without me having a taste was the best bit of me having the op! Cheeky b!

I can imagine my wife saying exactly the same thing lol :sad:

@ Gary sorry to hear of the probs your having, when are you planning on going to belguim??

Does anyone know if they use a catherter during surgery I was just reading that on another thread and wondered I hope not........A tear came to me eye lol :thumbup:

Hi Gary, and anyone else who is interested Chris Deprez contact details are: e.mail chris.deprez@ecfs.be and his phone number is +32(0)472 303 321 he does not use Julie Mackintosh to arrange his appointments, but sorts them out himself, he band fills for patients other than ecfs clients aswell

No catherter, no fuss with Dr Chris only safe good quality care, and plenty of rest, wipe your eyes, you'll feel a bit bruised and battered, but he is not as invasive as a lot of other surgeons,
