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

yes we got our fills yesterday in leeds..i had 1.25 put in taking me to 5.25..she said she could feel the pressure now and that i would def feel this time (she says its like when your pumping a bike tyre up from flat..you pump away feeling no pressure, then when its getting near you can feel the pressure as the needle is pushing the saline in) were going to sheffield in 2 weeks for maybe another dependidng on how we go with this one..but last night and this morning i could really feel some proper restriction, even with the smoothie i had for breakfast..maybe it was a bit thick altho i did liquidise it. i think im definatly going to be more cautious when i go to even mushy foods this time. she has these all singing dancing scales..and they do a print out personal to me, and even though they said i hadnt lost any weight, my fat mass was down by 2.5lb..so think that maybe means that the muscle mass has gone up?!..i dunno but want her gadgety scales!. and yes sammy i asked her if it was her who did the fills in london and yes it is..she does all of the clinics herself,shes a very busy lady! the clinics in london are every saturday and every sunday, and you can go to any of the clinics anywhere 2 weeks apart. the london one is on harley street. the package is worth it but i think the single fill is £80.check on their website. I am feeling hopefull that this fill will help me to start moving now, touch wood! she usually follows a rule of 3,2,1mls for fills she says for the first 3 appointments, then its fine tuning after that. x

Thats good news luv i hopefully may get some next week at next fill

hi all

you will be pleased to know that my hematoma has at last started to move and reduce so i am pleased and can stop moaning about it, i have since then decided not to go to belgium and am having my second fill in manchester next thursd so hopefully fred will be able to find it as Dr c struggled however i think he has advised him.

Hopefully meet some of you there especially you hot chicks.

i should def wear your kilt Garry,they will love it!..and of course it would be practical?! x

Hi gillian glad everything went ok for you yesterday and fingers crossed this will give you some restriction this time, i cant wait to go next week for my 3rd fill and hope he puts a decent amount in, i do have a bit of restriction on certain foods, my weight has not changed since my last fill but my clothes are looser (weird) but that may be because im doing more exercise, how did bigsister get on x

hi kerry, bigsister was the same as me, and has the same amount in too. im much more getting used to that needle now! I made a berry smoothie this morning and had difficulty getting it down..hope it loosens off a bit though over next few days..mind you,on the other hand suppose this is what i need for a while, it might help weight come off this week at least, but wouldnt like it to feel like this for ever..im sure it will, as its just the trauma of being tightened for the first few days isnt it, then your stomach gets used to it and re-moulds itself around it (well thats what i read anyway!) hope your doing well and you have some restriction...how did your crumble go down?..your making my mouth water,but today im thinking OMG, ill never eat anything solid again!..first time im feeling nervous about coming off (and actually sticking to) the liquids..there will be no turkey dinosaur accidents this time!. hope your doing well anyway, you have prob changed your fat into muscle too, thats why your clothes are fitting looser..its the same with me too..couldnt believe id not lost owt cos i felt lighter and fitter!!..lets hope our new fills will get us moving again..i am feeling much more positive after this one i must say.when is your next one? i bet youll be up to about 6ml then?.the most they can put in ours is 7 to 9ml..so youll be not far off or maybe even be at your sweet spot then? x

Dont worry i will be taking my camera lol :thumbdown: x

Frederik said he would only be able to put in about 1/2 ml maybe 1ml.. i do hope i get more than that tho x

when you get to about 5.5 tho, even 0.25 can make all the difference apparantly, so hes prob just following the guidelines, just get as much as he can safely put in, it might make all the difference..think ill only get about that put in in 2 weeks..im hoping that will be me done...for a while anyway, till i get used to it suppose!

lets hope we get there next month, and start shifting again! im sure we will x

Dont worry i will be taking my camera lol :thumbdown: x

bet youll all be sitting on the floor waiting for him to arrive!..where ther will be standing room only left for him....yes send me those pictures please! x
