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

Haha ah i had it saved in my emails cos i had to look it up for my best mate who is being banded lol

hi read your note i am due to be banded on 3 June a i feel sick and excited . How to you go about paying deposit as i don't understand how i have to do it and all the instructions to get to the hospital seem complicated also were is it best to fly to and get taxis any help would be great full as i'm doing this for me and my kids are giving me grief as they are worried about me going abroad for surgery

Welcome Suefee,

Ring or go into your bank and give them the details flirty just posted.

Fly into Brusells International Airport, if you have purchased the inclusive package directly with Dr Chris and Fredrick a taxi will pick you up they will have a copy of the LOGO with them holding it up. If you have not booked package you will get a taxi outside the terminal give them hotel details its not that far.

If you want further details PM me and I'll give you my mobile number and run things over with you .mmm.

Hey Everyone, Well done on all you weight losers that have posted recently, and Im very jealous of all you Glasgow Boys heading off into the sun, take me with you?!

Im still saving for the op, managed to get a huge ebay sale going and have made £200 towards my deposit already. Im glad Im not the only one having problems in working out how to do this through the bank. But seems like you guys have all the answers!!

Still no one going out for the 3rd of July for the op? Looking for a banding buddy if I can find one!!

Hope all the new bandsters are recovering well, it seems you all are, and are making me excited about finally getting this done, roll on July!!! :thumbup:

Hey everyone. Im waiting to hear back for a date to be banded in either brussels or poland. Had my head around going to brussels and now they are saying that they may be fully booked so i might have to go to poland! im 18 years of age in 2 weeks, and worrying about the flight home and the op. are you in much pain after? and can anyone give me any advice on the pre op diet? as i've heard lots of different things.

Thankyou :thumbup:

Welcome nznikki44, great that youve joined us,, load of info on past posts but if your in doubt about anything ask away.

Bobobaldy, well done you, its fab to hear success stories, and 4st+ is life changing, so be proud.

My second fill is tomorrow with Chris Deprez in Newport, then its 2 days fluids and mushies, then back to France on Monday for a week, hopefully I wont put weight on this time.

Good luck

Morning everyone,

Thanks for all the good wishes and welcome, it's lovely to have all of you there with the answers to all of our newbies questions.

I am still waiting to hear back from CDB after sending off my medical questionnaire - I presume he gets back to you! I have my date 26/5, but don't want to book anything until I know for definate he is going to do it.

I'm still waiting to hear if anyone else is booked in the same date as me.

Hi Sophie! You are in the best place to get advice from! I do hope you get your slot in Brussels with Dr Chris as he is an amazing surgeon and everyone on here has nothing but praise from him. I don't know much about having the op in Poland but someone may be able to point you in the right direction.

I can't give you much info on flights as my hubby and I drove over as we have a baby who needs a lot of stuff!!

I had my op on Friday 13th March and was discharged lunch time on the Saturday (which is normal). You are in pain/discomfort but it really is bearable and less than I thought. Most people would fly back the day after that (so the Sunday in my case) but we stayed until the Monday. On the Sunday I felt well enough to sit in the hotel lobby and watch rugby so it wasn't too bad. I would have been OK to fly back if I'd have taken it slowly. If you can get a later flight back during the day that would be preferable as you literally feel better every hour! I travelled back on the Monday and it was fine. You are young and I am sure you'll be fine!! Are you planning to take anyone with you?

The pre-op diet is just a low fat, low sugar diet. I tried not to eat anything with more than 4g in 100g of fat. No alcohol either! Gary also suggested taking milk thistle tablets which help shrink the liver. I would've taken them had I thought about it - I have had some in my bathroom cabinet for ages!! (They're prob out of date though!!)

Anymore qu's fire away!

Hi there!! The 26th May will soon come around! Yes they will get back to you (was it Frederik you emailed) but sometimes take a while! Send another email or give Frederik a ring (that's what I did) if you want to book your travel.
