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 all arrived back this morning not feeling too bad:thumbup: i have a bit of an upset tum from the stuff i had to drink for my x ray and I'm sore but manageable wind pains in the shoulders met some really nice people over there a lady from the isle of man two from Glasgow one had a tummy tuck and one from Ireland so now Ive got to get my fills sorted i was catching up on the post and i see wls are not doing the 6 month package does any one no why well that all from me at moment xxsuefeexx

hi again everyone hope your all doing well:thumbup:

anyway im trying to get a list ready highlighting all the things i should take with me to for the surgery pre/post op and also for using in the hotel afterwards??

im sure someone on the sight did have this posted re what they were taking and thought this was a great list but i cant find it now!!!

does anyone know if they did do the list or who actually posted it and even possibly when as that would help me having to go through each and every page on here??

many thanks:wink2:

p.s homecare..... i sent frederik my flight details when he emailed me that he had received the deposit couple of weeks ago,however not heard anything since?

i think i will ask him to confirm everything again via email a few days before i fly out,especially for more info re the consultation time,taxis,timings etc just to give me better piece of mind!

Hi girls, sorry i havent been around, I was helping my daughter get rid of some nasty trojans and Worms on her laptop, that her naughty teenage son had got for her by going to some dodgey sites and downloading stuff and not scanning them.

I put a virus scanner on my flashdrive as she couldnt get online, but there was problems with it, so i was checking the flashdrive on my pc (how stupid) and got all her virus's.

I am in the middle of backing up my system and formatting my hard drive.

Then I have to install my operating system again, which takes an age.

I am on my other pc atm, but I've been at it all day and I'm so tired now.

not lost any more weight on the scales, but clothes fit better and my hairdresser told me on Tuesday that I had lost loads of weight on my face!!!! gee what about the bod?....Anyway its coming off.

See you asap take care chicks and chaps xxxx

Oh and Sammy have a great holiday sweetie xxx

wooo hooo listen to bill freckles gates.

woop woop, 4lbs lost since last week taking me to my 1st stone weight loss in total, not a lot I know by most people standards but a lot for me and a new bmi of 33, I'm really pleased with my band., so this week I'll call her 'good Girl'

Hi Homecare just e.mail Fred with you flight number and time of arrival, then when you arrive outside of the arrivals bay look for the blue and green logo for ecfs you taxi driver will be waiting there for you holding the sign up, he will speak English so no worries there, the taxi rank is just outside the doors, he will know exactly where to take you he's more of a chauffer than a taxi driver and the cars are lovely and large with leather interior.

I would also e.mail Fred your departure details also so that he has them on record.

The next Morning the day of the op go to reception within the hotel and your taxi will meet you there, the driver will know your room number,so that you wont get mixed up with anyone else, again he will know exactly when to take you.

Communication is a bit slack but the arrangements always work without a hitch. :tongue2:

Thanks mmm Congrats on the weight loss. So theres a blue and green logo, I think I remember bobo baldy saying the taxi driver holds this up. I also would like to have a list of pre op and post op things to take. Ive got my nurofen melts, Iam already taking milk thistle, Ive got arnica but dont know when I should start taking this and lastly chewable vitamins. I know you wear the hospital gowns but need slippers. What about light dressing gown as I dont want to be showing my A**e, if the gown has an open back? I see some people bought dressings, will I need to take these with me? I know Il need to take loose clothing. Will I be able to read a book? Anything else please advise:ohmy: Thanks J x

Hi suefee hope you are feeling ok and all went well Please keep us pre bandsters up to date with what went on and what you did etc, when your feeling up to it. I wish you a speedy recovery and your now on the losing side. j x:lol:

Hi homecare, i took my dressing gown but didnt wear it once and wish i hadnt took it, the gowns dont show anything so your ok, and after the op i used the bedpan till i felt ok too get up too go the toilet, i didnt take any dressings with me just had them at home ready for when they needed changing. You can take a book with you and if you feel up too it then you can read, doesnt matter if you dont, everyone is different after ther ops x

Thanks wishful is there anything else you can advise me to take? J x

For the hospital.. your wash bag, hand towel and slippers, and then for the hotel i took slim fast (didnt drink it tho)a couple of cup a soup with no bits, rennie and nurofen melts, i only managed a 1/4 of the cup a soup as that filled me, if your going on your own take slip on shoes/trainers as you wont be able to bend over to fasten, and loose fitting clothes. I felt hot and a bit dizzy at the airport and asked for a wheel chair.. i explained that i had surgery and they got the porter who took me and my partner straight threw and we didnt have too queue at all, so dont be afraid too ask for help if you need it, i think i would of passed out if i had too queue, not because of pain so dont worry, its because im not brilliant after anaesthetic x
