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

Morning to everyone else........tis nearly the weekend!!

Looking forward to my fill on Sunday -wooooooooooooo hoooooooooo!!:)

Welcome Suefee,

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

Fly into Brussels 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.

Thanks mmm there are a few things i would like to go over with you if you don't mind, I've not booked the package so i will have to sort out my travel and hotel the other thing is the forms to fill in i do not know what blood type i am and i would prefer if did not have to tell my doc about the op till after as she is a skinny who does not understand my weight problem so i don't know how helpful she will be .All so how did you feel about paying in cash the day before the opp people ask me if its OK and that's why i am nervous as its a lot of cash to carry and hand over

Hi is any one being banded on the 3 june with Dr Chris De Bruyne im from birmingham

Hi,

No I sent it to CDB via snail mail - I couldn't fill in the form on-line - it wouldn't let me. I think I will email him. I want to get it sorted next week as I'm then away and come back home the day before leaveing for Brussels. Tight timing but worth the hassle.

Hi CW - yes I had my 1st fill a fortnight ago. It was 1 day short of 4 weeks since the op. I was a bit worried it would be painful but I didn't feel a thing!! When is urs? 2nd fill Sunday - wow hoooo!! I'm going with the WLS package - £349 for unlimited fill for 6 months. I think it's worth it as I like to know where I stand - I have paid and that's it for 6months. Also you can get then done every 2 weeks in London if you need them. I just need some help from the band as my will power just isn't helping. Well I guess that's why I had the op in the first place!!

I think we're gonig away in June. It's great but I will look a state on the beach! I thought we wouldn't be going away because of the cost of the op and pre-op hol but I have worked my magic and persuaded hubby I need a break!! :w00t: It would be good to lose at least a stone before then.

Hi Sam, I have'nt had a fill yet I think it maybe to early??

Also I was under the impression according to the booklet you should have a fill six weeks after the Op? but maybe Ive read it wrong lol :):blushing:

Im gonna email fredrich me thinks and find out when I can have one,,, That price with wls is pretty good I might go for that...Have a great holiday you deserve it I need one too lol:lol:

Hi Guys,

Well off out tonight for my last drinking binge with the girls before my pre op diet starts on tuesday!!! going to try and put a few pounds on this weekend as my weight has drop a bit since booking band and my bmi is now 36!!!! Arrrrrgh

Hope everyone has a good weekend!!!!

Hi Sammy77

Do you have Frederiks phone number? I've not got his, I might ring rather than email.

Thanks x

Serneels Frederik

General manager

ECFS

Phone: 0032(0)472019091

Give him a call, he's usually good at taking his calls! At least you can then start booking ur flights etc. Let us know how you get on x

Can't Weight - they say for ur 1st fill 4-6 weeks depending on how you feel. For me it was either 4 weeks (less a day) or 7 weeks and I didn't want to wait! It really didn't hurt at all and I'm glad I went for it now. I'll let you know how I get on with WLS, I know Gillian, Bigisis and Bobobaldy are using them and said they were great. At least if you buy a package u know where u stand, u may win or lose out if u only need 3/4 but I'm taking the gamble!!

Have a great evening!! Make the most of it and have a dirty doner at the end of it!! :) I could only ever eat them after large volumes of alcohol!!

Good luck with the pre-op diet.

I think that is my downfall with food and drink the moment i start drinking i don't want to eat anything but might have to force myself plus my husbands mate is cooking lots of curry and stuff for tomorrow yum yum that should gain a few pounds!

Going to need it don't want bmi to drop below 35 or i'm screwed!!!!!!

By the way, can't wait to meet you flirty!:w00t:

No probs with lower BMI he done mine at under 35 you just sign a disclaimer

Edited by mmm

Well second fill done today, something feels a bit tighter, but only on liquids/mushies for next few days, but I've had another 2.5ml taking me to 5ml in total, so hopefully something should start to work now. Its official I'm exactly at my pre op weight its so disheartening, but I was warned it would take quite a time for me to get started.

Gary, Chris deprez sends his regards, his first words to me were that you had been to see him and he thanked me for the referral. He said you were doing extremely well. So well done you :)

Suefee I've send you my mobile no. on a PM ring whenever you want up until Monday I'll do what I can, after Monday I'll be back in France for 1 week, but I'm sure the others will help. Good luck.
