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 Sussie

I was fine with scrambled eggs just chew well i had my first sunday roast this week and all went done well although a fraction of what i would usually have, i've also been eating the chedders biscuits the plain ones but using philadelphia light on then with no problem too be honest hun i can eat most things but not bread that gets stuck somethin chronic and is not nice at all lol, i eat a lot of cous cous with a vegetable and chicken stew too and morrisons do the crisp bakes hun.

went for a check up at my gp today and she was so impressed with how good my scars were and commented on what a fantastic job dr chris had done and also on how thorough and comprehensive his report was she even said she wished she could recommend him lol so i told her about this site and she will be forwarding patients this way so if thats not a big tick for having the op i dont know what is .

good luck to everyone having their bands done this week thinking of u all

Hi Sussie

I was in the same position as you last week.

I was banded on 28th April by Dr Chris. I am back home now and have lost 9lbs so far, feel a little sore on the left side still, but feel on top of the world as I know this is the first step on the ladder to the rest of my life! I know I have a long way to go, but this feels so right. I am sure everything will be great for you

Regards

Julie xx

Hope the flights are back on for you tomorrow and you all get there. I'm flying from Manchester tomorrow fingers crossed. I emailed freddy today to ask if my 500 euros are safe if my flight gets cancelled and can I just re arrange but i've heard nothing back. We are all nervous enough without all this volcano carry on! :glare:
