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,

Could anyone who's been tell me what happens if you haven't booked direct with CDB (I booked with Bidget) about the consultation the night before. Should I phone him to say I'm here or will they look me up? Just crossed my mind, think the pre- nerves are starting to kick in now.

Cheers

Goodluck to fatduck and rosetah, im sure everything will go ok for you both x

Welcome back pixie, glad everything went so well for you.. everyday you will be feeling better x

Hi gary im glad everything is going so well for you, i cant wait till i get restriction like you have got x

Hi all Im back a bit sore and knackered. Would I do it again? In the blink of an eye. Everything went perfectly and arent their hospitals just great. I think I was first to go down I told frederic I was really nervous and he gave me a pre med tablet which really calmed me down. I remember being given an anaethetic at 9.05 and being woken up in the ward around 11. I feel around my port abit nippy and slightly burning. Still cant bend and to get out of bed is sore but so glad Ive done it. Jx

Hi Lischa

Lovely 2 hear from u I'm staying at the Campinile also.

I arrive about 10.30am on Mon as I thought I had a consultation (bloods,ecg, etc) that day but Frederik emailed me yesterday to say he'll see me in my room between 9 -10pm to sort out money etc.

Can anyone tell me do I need to bring waterproof dressings ?

Best wishes !!!! fatduck & rosetah :thumbup:

Thanks Gary and now I see youve finally got retriction I want to see that ticker moving I keep watching it. Youve already done so well so get back into training. forgot to ask did you go walking or jogging with bobo or did you just look at the car park:wub: Jx

Hi homecare im so glad your home safe and sound with your band.. i was half expecting you to say you didnt have it as you were to nervous lol. a few days rest and you will be loads better x

Thanks so much wishful youve always been a constant source of information and so patient with a lot of questions that have been asked a hundred times. So a big thankyou once again Jx:thumbup:

Hi Garry

Can I ask u do u feel like ur going to choke or have you ever choked ? ( I've suffered with reflux for the last few months and it's left me with a bit of a fear of choking ) hope each day continues to get easier for u.

We get on the eurotunnel about 12 lunchtime and then 2 hour drive approx to hotel, so i guess i should be there by mid afternoon. How do you get an email to frederick? I emailed DR Chris today but whether he or frederick will reply. I feel kinda vague about the whole experience, must have caught Brigit on bad days when i rang and only had the basis info, never heard of Frederick until i read the blogs today and was worried about the consulatation the night before.... can you tell me anything about it?

Hi vikki I cant answer your question but what I can say is there were 2 women at our hotel who hadnt booked direct and they were not at our meeting in the hotel. I dont know if they already had a consultation previous to going to the hotel or if frederic spoke to them privately in their room. He gave us all the data about the op and came to our room for the money. Good luck your in good hands jx:thumbup:

Hi All - remember me? I'm the poor unfortunate who went to Belgium, had the surgery but did not get the band. Anyway, that was on June 12 and I'm not too happy with my incision healing. The incision above the belly button is quite red, and not really sealed and a bit pus-y. There are also red welts and red raised bumps - quite large - all over my belly where the dressings have been. I've been very good, I think, about keeping them clean and had the stitches removed a week ago. Anyone else experience this? thanks, kathy
