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

Hi, just joined!

Im trying to get boked up with Dr Chris but after reading some of the forums I'd like to find out how much he charges if you book direct and how do I book direct?

thanks everyone

Hi Yardass,

I didn't book direct i went through Bridget at europesurgery.co.uk She was great! You go on the website and go to obesity surgery! You'll see dr Chris on there and can email your stats like weight height etc! She'll get back to you! It cost me €3950 and you pay €250 of that as a deposit once you've booked a date! The rest you pay him on the day of surgery!!!

Hope this helps!

Hello Everyone :tongue:

Im wondering if some of you that have just gone through this can help me, How do I transfer the money to Dr Chris in EUROS~? Will my bank convert it, or how does it work?

Been getting some great advice for you all on the pre-op diet, so thanks to everyone for posting about it. I'm all booked for 3rd July still looking for anyone else who's going out then too!

Garry - Hope you had a great holiday, when your back hopefully I can catch you for a coffee and to pick your brains out

all you newbies, enjoy:thumbup:

FRECKLES - So damned cute

I want to know how to have a pic that shows in the info bit when I post? You seems to have that down, any ideas?

Hi bobolady, did you pay extra for your band? I am sure that when i had my op the band you have was more expensive, or maybe that was a different band and i am just getting confused!

Hi all hope everyone is good ,been away and catching up on the banter, I have kicked the ar*e oot the bevvy and food for a week but hey ho i am back to being good again, you got too have a blast every now and then. I have definatly got the sweedish band and i never paid any premium for it, i think it had to do with my size, i believe it too be a 14-15ml band.

Hi all i totally can't get a little picture of me in my posts!!! ARRRGGHHH

Hi mandy, your op date has come round really quick.. you must be really excited. My last supper at the hotel campanile was steak and chips followed by belgian chocolate mouse, it was delicious, especially after being strict on my pre-op. The day you are discharged from hospital, well that evening frederik comes to your hotel just to check you are ok and while he was there i booked my 1st fill for 4 weeks after my op, in manchester the fill is £90, its right by the airport so its easy to find. How is your pre-op going x

Thanks wishfull, yes it has come round quick, it is 9 weeks since I booked, I am both scared and excited. The pre op diet has been realy hard, we have been out 2day with some mates, I had chicken salad for dinner and soda water to drink all day. I have been realy good, I have had only 1 glass of wine and I hope this will not mess it up for me. Thanks for the advise, I will prob book my 1st fill with frederik. I have lost about half a stone since starting the diet, so i hope that it will carry on when I am banded. Will keep you posted. x

Hi,

I just went in my bank with all the details about their bank and they just did it using their exchange rate. It cost £15 for the privalige of doing it though! It would be a lot better if we could pay the balance via card, cheque or tansfer as its a lot of money to get out in euro's and be carrying around.

My op is on 26 May, and I'm getting very excited now - start my pre op diet on Tuesday week. x

Hi Yardass

I too have booked through Bridget, 3950 euro's. My date is 26th May. I have transferred my deposit of 250 euros to Dr CDB's account and will take the balance of 3700 euro's with me. I have booked to go on the Eurostar and the hotel (Campanile) independantly.

Hi all i totally can't get a little picture of me in my posts!!! ARRRGGHHH

Where do you want to put your piccy, do you mean your avatar, that little pic bleow your name, as that has to be tiny, it wont accept larger than about 100 pixels i think it is, or it may be smaller, it does tell you in your user Control Panel top left.

Just checked and this is what it says...

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 75 by 75 pixels or 512.0 KB (whichever is smaller).

If you cant resize it small enough in Tinypic send it to me via Private message and I'll resize it for you hun.
