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

Thanks Julie!!

That really makes us pre-bandsters feel better!

Do frederick/Dr Chris give you a list of what you can eat afterwards? I'm wondering what to stock my kitchen with before I go.

Hi

Am feeling a bit anxious as I transferred the deposit on 19th via HSBC and the bank said that it will get to Belgium in 2 working days, but Frederik hasn't confirmed that he has rcvd the deposit and hasn't responded to my last 2 emails....should i be worried???

Should I try calling him instead? Please advice as I am getting worried now. My date was booked for 12th of August, I have already booked eurostar but no confirmation from Frederik is making me anxious.

My youngest daughter informed me this week that she is getting banded by Dr Chris in October. I have told her to join this board for the amazing support and information.

Ring him or email him again - he does come back.

Hi,

I have been reading through all the pages for over a week now and have just plucked up th courage to post.

I am booked with Dr Chris for the 4th August, so just over a week to go now.

All the information on here has been really helpful, like what to take, what to eat before and the fact that nearly everyone thinks that they will be the only one it won't work for lol.

So I just wanted to really say a big thatnks to everyone who has taken the time to post advice.

Just one question really, I am going to Belgium on my own, as other half can't get the time off work, I have a pretty high pain threashold and am planning to drive to airport and leave the car there to drive back home after, does anyone think this will be a problem?

Hi natalie there should be no problems driving home after you arrive back i did so with no real pain.A little tugging when turning round to check your blind spot apart from that it was fine.

Don't worry.. He doesn't confirm receiving your deposit auomatically - I had to pester him a bit too! I'm sure he'll get back to you soon, he's probably really busy... I expect vanessa feltz being banded in belgium has increased their bookings at the moment!

hi all,

i just want to know has anybody had a sliped band before and if so how much dose it cost to remove it and ahve it replace? has anybody enquiry that with Dr Bruyne?

Thank you, I will go ahead and book my airport parking then :bolt:

Hi there - just caught end bit of chat - and looked up Miss Flumps' things on youtube - can't thank her enough! helped me make my decision! Am to confirm a LAP-BAND® 'date' to commence in Sept! So gonna go for it! lemma let me know if you go in Sept too? I need a band buddy! x

Hey im booked to be banded on the 14th september. Do you have any dates in mind for going over? Would be great to meet others going at the same time. xx

I have booked with CDB for surgery on the 21st September and i cannot wait. Can anyone give me advice on how best to forward the deposit money please?

Frederik sent their banking details but it looks odd and bears no resemblance to english banking details.

Anyone else going to be there on the 21st September?

I'm dead excited now. x
