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 can also feel what seems to be a ball about the sixe of a malteser so i think scar tissue sound like a good shout.

i know i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused::tt2:

Hi Flirty - You raised my curiousity when you said you have paid more than 1000euro and still don't have restriction. I will be having my fills in Dublin as well - and travelling from Donegal to do so, so I'm eager to have them work well and work quickly. Anyone else out there having the same problem with fills in Dublin? Also, is the port located high in the ribs, under your bust?

Hi high anxiety im from louth everyone is different when it comes to fills i just seem to be unlucky and my band is near full at 8.05mls some people have restriction at 4mls my port was put in bout 2inches above belly button on left side but it has moved and is now just to left of belly button it moved down

Hi shoes when i was in belgium i told him i wasnt happy and he couldnt understand i could still eat bread and other stuff without a prob but iv been saying it to him for ages but he said he'd do next fill half price but i dont really think thats good enough so iv decided not to bother with any more fills iv came this far without reaching my sweet spot just pissed off with fills i feel no different now than i did after first fill doesnt say much does it

Hi flirty been reading your info and u are brilliant answering everyone elses posts especially when you have had it so difficult yourself!

however must admit reading the last few i feel a bit angry re the way you have been treated with still no restriciton in the band?

"you can get the next one half price" how many is that you have actually had?

if i were you ....u should be telling them not happy sort it or you will take things further.....this shows to me if aftercare etc doesnt go as ecfs hopes you are treated badly and possibly ripped off:frown:??

bit worried now as it shows outwith the norm they really dont care as to pay for so many fills is a joke!:confused:

what do other bandsters think?

Hi timeisnow i really dont want putting u off its just my experience i must say i feel ripped off but all i get when i say it to fred is ur losing the weight which yes is true but i would of liked restriction to kick in and help me a little but iv had 8fills so far and i have never felt restriction can still eat any amount of anything once i chew well... but i know dr chris said they give less of a fill if u are losing weight and more if u arnt so i kinda think its a rip of situation nearly like being punished for losing weight u get less of a fill and ur band losens as u lose weight so i dont understand why they do it that way but when i say anything bout not being happy all i get is ur losing weight it is frustrating but not much i can do

yes there is flirty...........why just you and why is it not being restricted more quickly? put how unhappy you are on here because i will tell you now if i am treated like this re after care i wont be taking it quietly or be palmed off!!ill pay my money and take it from there but people need to know that the aftercare is sound and we are still treated properly and not like a money cow!!

im just sorry this has not been mentioned b4 ie not acceptable!

good luck anyway flirty keep me posted im away in less than four weeks?

ill ask wendy on tues when i go.. id be suprised at em doing that?. esp with credit crunch at mo, people cant afford it and it wasnt that long ago that we took the half price special offer too, as they wanted custom, so sounds not very good of them if they have! x

Hi gillian could you also ask Wendy why they have changed their policy in offering new bandsters the 6 month package?

They must know in these tight financial times it is not a good thing. Anyway I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will allow me the 6mth contract as I asked a day or two after the new policy began. I will find out in a couple of days. Coleen said she would phone and let me know, she would do her best. :redface: j x
