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

julie

if you can its more expensive to fly to belgium interntionl however its only 10 mins from hotel, wheres chrleroi (ryanair) is over an hour i think. the std package at 4150 will not include txis from chrleroi but will from interntional however they will collect you from there but chrge extra on top which worked out the same as paying the more expensive flight to international, well it did for me. One big benefit of interntional is how close it is as on the morning of going home you wont be bothered going a long distnce you will just want to get to airport and get home.

Its up to you weigh up the costs but for a small difference i know what i would choose.

Hi garry

oh decisions decisions, cant remember which airport they said sure its the furthest one, i'll have to weigh up the cost of package and the cost of just op and booking my own flights and hotel, might even try euro star see what their prices are like

Hi Sharon, We have had very little snow here but enought to disrupt the trains and euro star were running reduced services again today. I had an email from them today to say it should be back to normal after tomorrow but to go on line wed to check. If all goes acording to plan we should arrive around 4pm ish. Not long now only 3 days to op. :smile2: I'm feeling very jittery. See you soon Barbara

Hey Garry, I have created a tracker from the Ticker Factory as seen on your messages but how do I get it onto these messages. I haven't worked that one out wether I have to paste it each time or whether there is a way it will automatically go on each time I post a messsage? I think it's such a good tool, I love to see how well everyone is doing (Yeh nosy) Thanks

A bit of a strong negative post, not very good for people who are just going, to my knowledge Dr C has had no mortalities so i dont know where that came from and I dont think anyone has actually said he is a hero. If he has has had a mortatlity do you know the persons full history?????a

You are quite right cheper is not better however when i extensively researched band surgeons in the UK i struggled to find anyone who had done in excess of 1500 . Of course there are complication with any type of Geneal anasthetic and surgery but its keeping them to a minimum tht is the key.

I dont know where you are in your weighloss travel but good luck!.

This is not a strong negative post. Every surgeon has some complications and you´re right to keep them to a minimum is the key.

I went to Dr Dillemans in Brugges last year and I was very satisfied. He is a very famous surgeon in Belgium and is very nice person.

I wasnt angling for an argument, i have no doubt your surgeon was fantstic and I am really pleased for you its great to hear any success stories no matter who they went with, all i was saying was there were a few new ladies going out to belgium this week and as far as i am concernced and all dr debruyne patients, he has never lost anyone and i just didnt want those ladies going this week and having any added negative thoughts as you know wht your hed is like just prior to theop.

I hope all is going well and its nice to see new faces on the forum were ll here to help ech other.

JulieRoddy, just want to let you know that I came in on Eurostar and the pick up from there was included in the standard package. I had a great experience.

Hello all again, I pop in occasionally. I'm from the US and chose Dr. Chris because of his reputation, experience and fantastic price.

As of 9/23/09, Dr. Chris had no mortalities due to LapBand. My experience was very good and I am so happy with the band.

And again, thank you all for sharing your stories. It helped immensely when I was making up my mind to proceed.

Cheers!

Just to say that Dr Chris is fab and i had no probs, i think the other thing that everyone is always amazed at is how clean the hospital is!

Good luck to everyone, i can honestly say that having the band has given me the most incredible new life.

that helps a lot but have a few other questions, first when going for the package deal is the cost for two people flying or does one have to pay seperatley, i know hotel is included and other thing is once the op is done do u have an x ray to make sure everything is where it should be as would feel a lot happier knowing before i left the hospital.

i wish i could have it done tomorrow im so fed up of being fat now, u look amazing by the way well done i can understand u being happy with ur results

Hi Julie

I took the Eurostar as its quite close to me, getting the train in Belgium to the Hotel was quite difficult as i generally have no sense of direction! I didnt know about the package when i booked as i went through an agent but i think the package is a good deal just for the fact that they pick you up etc. When i booked the Camponille i could only stay for one night so had to travel to another Hotel for the second night. If i had known about the package i wouldnt have had to go through all of that drama!

I am lucky that my lovely mother loaned me the money but i would of saved for as long as it took to get the money if she hadnt of done. Squeezed into a size 8 dress the other day so its all worth it in the end (used to be a 20.)
