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

I'm feeling calmer again now as Ive said in the past i am a worrier but have found W L S web site and there is one in Birmingham is it best to call them after surgery and the people who have gone with them is it the 2 year after care package you ask for or just fills thanks again

I think bigsister and gillian have gone for the 6 month fill package.. im sure they will tell you everything you need to know x

Hi bigsister and gillian could you tell me weather it was the 2 year aftercare pacage you went for or just the fills thanks x

Hi bigsister and gillian could you tell me weather it was the 2 year aftercare pacage you went for or just the fills thanks x

Hi Suefee, we took the 6 months package as its unlimited fills, and wendy the fill nurse says she tries to get you to a good restriction in 3 fills, you can attend any venue they are at and have it done as little as 2 weeks apart, they visit most of the venues once a month (more in london at harley street clinic).there is a clinic in birmingham i believe too, which would be great for you. you can have 6, 12 or 24 months aftercare. we paid an offer price of £275, there is no rush, so why not wait and see if anymore offers come up on website before you book and pay?. you cant have fill with them till you are 6 weeks post op, so you can leave it till you come home from belgium and your recovered, we have never found any problem getting into a clinic even at shorter notice. even if you just want to do 'pay-as-yo-go' fills they are still only £85, so thats why i just went for the 6 month package. i got good restriction after 3 fill (within 6 weeks),its just loosening off now so will have a very small fill in just over a week. WLS hold support groups, 24hr info and emergency lines, a dietician will see you and a physio will write you a personalised excersize plan out if you want, and its all included in your plan price so i think its a good deal, even if its not on offer at mo.(is it about £350 now for 6 months plan?) gillian x

I must say before i left hospital dr chris sat down and explained everything to me and also said i could choose another fill provider if i liked but they do offer aftercare but it was totally up to me so i cant fault him that way also my scars are now nearly invisable i have to look hard for them except for port scar but it is even barely noticeable he defo is a brilliant surgeon and the best in the job

flirty,i agree, i have absolutly no qualms with Dr Chris and his team, they did an excellent job, and my doctor was impressed too. my scars are now lovely and flat and are starting to blend in to my skin more now, although still a bit purple..im really pleased with them. just think when you have your tummy tuck your scars will be really low down then, and you sound like you have good healing skin,and with being young will recover faster too..youll look great!.have you found anyone for the surgery on your arms/tum yet? x

Hi gillian still havnt found a surgeon yet but im going to my gp on wedensday and il ask her and il be seeing dr chris next monday so il see what he could do with my tt if it would be a straight forward tuck i need i would prob go with him for it and id prob go in july or august for it i think i would like a extended tt though but sure all i can do is see what he says...but i really need it now the skin is getting worse and lower i can actually feel the pressure on my back from it i actually mailed wls for info on their surgeons but got no reply

Hi flirty, with out sounding stupid what is a extended tummy tuck? is it where they do the tightening on the tummy muscles x

Hey wishfull its more aless a full normal tuck but it goes more around ur sides instead of hip to hip it gets rid of ur love handles too i dont know if i have made sense there but it is just slightly longer and gets rid of more fat and skin from ur sides

Yeh that makes sense, cant wait till iv lost my weight and can start looking into it, fingers crossed dr chris will be able to do it for you as he is a great surgeon, have you any idea how much he charges? x

I think there is a package for tt hotel taxis etc for about €2000 euro il just have to enquire when im over is that for muscle tightning and the full tuck be great if he could do it id save a fortune just im wearing clothes too big for me at this stage to hide my hanging belly and id say if i got rid of it id be in a 14-16 in everything and more than comfortable and thats my dream size cos im tall im in 16-18 at the mo but covering this jelly belly is a nightmare lol

yeah even though this end bit is the killer and id say the hardest part of the whole lot im sticking to my own diet as i have no restriction and im really not over eating and im stalling at the same loss but i think even if i got tuck now id be happy with the outcome cos i could buy what i liked but deep down id love to get the 2stone off

Dont forget when you do have your tt that will be more weight off, we probably dont realise how much the sag weighs, you have done amazing considering you haven't really any restriction, well done you x

i defo think mine weighs alot and causing me back pain so yeah even another stone and the tuck cos its only now im really starting to appreciate the loss and i cant explain how much happier i am and more confident i never thought id get the weight off i have officially threw all my fat clothes out all i have is new clothes iv bought this last month but im gona stop buying now cos they better not fit soon lol i even found clothes that havnt fit since i was 15 and they wont even stay up on me im lost in them just the best feeling ever so to all the newbies its worth it the best decision iv ever made

O im so pleased for you.. im 2stone 2lb lighter and feel loads better and have loads more energy, cant wait till im reporting results like you are, you are an inspiration to us all on here x
