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 Westbourne, congats and I'm so glad it all went so well for you. I feel quite emotional reading your post because although I know everyones got a different tale to tell about their op hearing yours has lifted my spirits no end! I'm pretty scared about the whole affair so thank you for sharing your good news. Xxx

Fatduck you will be fine when you go for your op, dr chris is a top surgeon and his staff are all great and nothing is to much trouble for them. I didnt get nervous at all just really excited that i was going to be slim again.. you know we are all here for you and help you through it x

That means such a lot to me, I am not telling anyone except my hubby and I'm going on my own because of the extra cost for him to come so knowing you're all here is heartwarming. I reciprocate the gesture and hope I can help and support anyone in return.

I only told my partner, 3 children and my sister but since the op i have told some people.. im proud of my band and dont really care what they say or think, i didnt think that b4 my op tho lol, i thought everyone would think i was cheating and taking the easy way out, how wrong. It is still hard work and you still have to watch what you eat. When is your op x

30th June, I just booked it a couple of days ago. I'm really excited about whats ahead and losing weight but I guess I've the same apprehensions as a lot of folks get. I'm just really emotional about it all just now because of what losing and keeping weight off will mean to me. I'm sure everyone on this site can relate to that:smile2:

Oh fatduck please don't be scared, there are lots of us going through it and I went on the ups and downs of wanting to do it and then not - Dr Chris and Frederik are so wonderful, they answer all questions over and over again and put you at your ease. The hospital staff are very very good and there's lots of them and they all speak English. It is so good to receive such professional treatment (and I work for the NHS!). So please don't worry, the success rate is 100%.

Hey Westie, glad to see your back safe and sound. Hope your positive attitude will continue to see you through. And you know what, you won't have to say no to choc and ice cream, but you will be able to see how badly having a lot of that kind of thing will affect you.

Can't wait to hear of your journey into losing!

Few others who have lost recently well done, I have been trying to cut down but Im not fitting into my jeans tonight, I think i'm kidding myself, lol

hi all and well done to the new bandsters!:wink:

i was looking up the actual hotel in vilvoorde on tripadvisor and there seems to be some bad reviews about it so a bit worried as will have my partner and young son with me??

therefore the best thing is to get reviews from all the folk on here that have actually stayed in the hotel wether they be good or bad??

ie rooms cleanliness etc

whats the Breakfast like is it worth 10euros?

is the restaurant food satisfactory and how is it priced?

any other little tips would be much appreciated:thumbup:
