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

Karob I thought ssomething was wrong after mailing Slinky so i called Bridget I thought she was unhelpful. I asked about prices hotel ect... and she stated it differant for everyone (not sure how) I am being charged 4150 with nothing included does this sound right. Has this been the same for others.

Sher, I paid 4150, but it was direct with Frederick and Dr Chris, they do include hotel and taxi. If you have booked with someone else, then I don't know what their deal is.

Does anyone know the best way to get from London to Dr. Chris's clinic? My surgery is June 25th and I haven't booked transportation yet.

Was anyone else afraid they would be the only one this surgery didn't work for?

:smile2:Hello i have just booked the eurostar from st pancreas it was quite cheap i think about 80 return. Then you get off there and get like there underground to the voordorde a few stops then the hotel is in the station car park.

i only know because my friend went about 2 months ago. we are both booked though professional beauty -europesurgery. Bridget is really helpful if you call her i sure she will help you.

i don't think it takes long on the train about 2 hours and at least you don't have to worry about taxis etc when you get there!

i am so looking forward to going. feeling so large at the moment. this is the start of a new life for me.

sorry sher i thought you were going direct with dr chris,that's who im going with and for the 4175 i think that is the price,anyway that includes my taxi's and hotel i just have to make my way there i didn't go with outside parties,but he will tell you after night in hospital you have to stay another night in a hotel or he wont operate if he knows your going home hun,but book the hotel campanile in vilvoorde everyone stay's there and freddy come to see all the peep's there soz for confusion:blink:

neennicole you not alone i think it wont work for me,and that if somthing goes wrong it will be with me so we must all think like that at some stage lol good luck hun and keep us updated

Hi girls

I emailed Bridget as really disappionted thought I had booked direct with Dr Chris. She has been very sympathetic and agreed to help me sort things out.

Now I'm pleased again and looking forward to being banded and meeting up Slinky.

Gaining weight prior must be a common theme cause I too have gain even more weight since becoming serious re: banding have also started having vivid dreams.

I have thought about it all going wrong but have put this to the back of my mind as I believe coping with Knee, back, feet, being unhappy buying bigger clothes size every year and reflux problems are worse:eek::frown:

Good luck on 25th please keep us informed will be thinking of you.

You're very welcome girls. Yes kath I had to pay £90 to have 3mls out and then £90 to put it back in.But Freddyboy is very fair, because he couldnt get the 3 back in the first time I went back, he told me if it wasnt enough then he would do the next fill free of charge.

Which Chris deprez did. Then when i went in may with my daughter (her appointment) Freddy asked how i was getting along. i told him I was having acid reflux every night again. He said I'll take some out for you as its not good for your health to have the reflux.

I said to him that I didnt have another £90 and he said he didnt expect me to pay again and did it for free.

So to me he is a good guy and it proves they do care about their patients and and not just in the game for the money. My opinion anyway.

Hi Freckles, just wanted to say thank's for answering my questions the other day, much appreciated! I've booked for Manchester for July 8th, to have some taken out, then it's "Thailand-here we come"!!!!

glad you got things sorted out sher your back on track now,as for the weight gain i must think i will never eat food again and im eating all my favourite stuff,i think ive gone up another 21 pound lol.As for the vivid dreams,i have panick attacks if i worry too much before i sleep,as i normally think about getting banded in the evening,so i listen to paul mckenna I CAN MAKE YOU THIN lol the weight is still comming on but his voice is soo relaxing it helps me fall asleep,good luck hun im just getting my bag ready,and the stuff i will need,i like to pack early chat soon:thumbup:

Glad to have been of help Mooster, have a fabulous holiday and dont eat too much lol.

I've now discovered I can eat Prawn crackers dipped in curry sauce from the chippy, goes down like nectar, while everyone else is eating rice and chips. But I dread to think just how many calories are in this...any ideas?

I think maybe I will just keep this as a treat.

Just back from my holiday in Portugal and absolutely delighted to have come back 1lb less than when I left...... First time in my life I have not gained 1/2 stone while being away.

Good luck to all the new bandsters - you will be absolutely fine and have no need to be worried about anything. Word of advice don't be disheartened when the weight doesn't drop off every week - it takes time - as I have learned but it will start to come down bit by bit

I am going for my 2nd fill next week and hoping that I will start to feel some restriction at that point.

Banded 12th March 2010
