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 I am off Thursday for my op on Friday. Bit nervous but looking forward to getting it over with now

I Also seem to be hungry all the time, guess it an over reaction to the forth coming liquid diet.

Will let you all know how it goes

Regards

Congratulations to all you new banders an a well done and keep up the good work to all the oldies.

I dont often post but read your progress regularly, and alway breath a sigh of relief when I find one of you have had the same problem. I was banded in March and have had 2 fills so far but things have really slowed down.I was on holiday a few weeks ago and managed to loss 3 pounds. I felt more restriction an it was too hot to eat anyway BUT since coming home I feel as if I could eat for Britain. Guess I am looking for a bit of reassurance that after my next fill next month I will be back on track. I am sure this will be the case. Wont it?:rolleyes2:

wannabe have you lost that 10 pound before your surgery?

no hun after surgery,i didn't lose any weight before surgery i was in holland and the food was awful so i lived on mcdonalds and pizza hut lol:huh2:

Angel Delight is a good one cause you can suck it. I lived on that in the first few weeks. Good luck to yourself and slinky and all the other new ones. My band is two months old now, can't wait for more fills....nothing much happening after the first one but I must be patient. Look after yourselves, wear loose clothes it will soon be back to normal xx

hi jayne how long did it take for your stomach to go down,i will feel alot better when the swelling goes down lol:blush:

I was about to come on here and post how crap I had been at my pre-op diet, but thank god I am not the only one :wub: I have been eating for England (and the rest of the world!) since I booked the op!

I fly out tomorrow, did I read on here that the hotel has free wifi, if so does anyone know if I need a password??

well thats me back from banding !!! what a rollacoaster ride of thoughts and emotions thats was, from waking up on friday and thinking what the hell am i doing and how did it get to this !!!! to being really happy afterwards that i have done some thing positive to help myself and my family, I have to say,, credit to the ladies who got it done on the same day as me !!!! jesus they all had nerves of steel ...... well ladies, it was a pleasure meeting you all ............

If i hadnt been first think i might have been on next flight home ,,,,,, ( JUST WITH NERVES)

Anybody considering this operation i would give 2 bits of advise , 1 go DIRECT with DR chris and frederick and stay away from french cosmetic surgery (tullia ) 2 take some one with you ,

I am going to be banded on the 14th Sept, and was just wanting to ask a couple of things. Firstly do you have to get stitches taken out when you come back or do they disolve? Also i work as a hairdresser and i've only taken a week off after the op, do you think this will be enough time? Would also like to say i big congratulations to all the ones that's newly been banded, it's encouraging to hear such positive feedback! xx

Hi Pearce pleased to hear you are back from being banded. Your second piece of advice to stay away from Tullia why? Fullfat and myself have both booked through her and we are due to be banded this Friday (6th Aug). What's the problem with booking through her?

Hi Fullfat no long now, same as you nervous. Low fat diet what diet I could eat for England lol. Hope to see you Thursday at hotel.

I am on my first day of my pre opt diet and I am doing very well I am doing the slimfast diet and don't seem to be hungry at all!! Yep i think i can do that for 10 days on second thought i could have done that long time wouldn't have needed the band:unsure:

no hun after surgery,i didn't lose any weight before surgery i was in holland and the food was awful so i lived on mcdonalds and pizza hut lol:huh2:

wow wannabe thats good!! less then a week. do you feel hungry after being banded?

Hi All

thought I would post since coming back from banding on 30th July. So I am 3 days post op and couldn't believe it when I stood on the scales this morning that I had lost 6.5 lbs since I left. It's awesome. Still swollen but it is starting to go down. So will check inch loss in about 10 days.

Heard some absolute horror stories about other bandsters who hadn't booked direct with Chris & Frederik. Stories that would really set my alarm bells off such as the surgery is confirmed and then cancelled and rescheduled etc. So glad I steered clear of booking with anyone other than Frederik. Offered free fills but these wouldn't be honoured etc

Don't forget that you can book direck with them at www.belgiumsurgeryservices.com

Have a good day.
