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

MummiesBB: Very good advice Thank you

Another Question, when you did the bank Transfer (which i will do as well) Did you go with your Bank (did they charge) Mine is £19.50 to do Bank Transfer, and I'am wondering about WesternUnion or some sort?

when you did the bank Transfer Did you go with your Bank (did they charge)?

Yes I did and the charge was £24.00 for the full amount they were very thorough and wanted to know who, what, why, where. I didn't enlighten them what it was for just said medical.

HTH I used the bank as I felt it was a little more secure. Don't know anything about Western Union. What do they charge for this service?

MummiesBB:

I haven't actually asked how much they charge as yet lol But you're right, going with the Bank is more secure so i think i will actually go with them

How are you managing to eat this? I tried some sausage the other evening, chewed like crazy and paid for it losing my boots completely! Wasn't pleasant. Had to wait an hour or so and then had a yoghurt to help calm my insides.

Doesn't the above stuff get stuck?

claire i can eat anything except white bread,i still have normal size meals too,and i eat at normal speed,cant wait for second fill hopefully sort that out lol,tiger are you going to poland for surgery?,who is your surgeon x

hi tiger,i just looked at your profile so i think your going with dr chris debruyne,if your going by yourself you wont need much at all,because after surgery you wont be fit to eat so will just need money for drinks,and food the day befor surgery i would just have 200 euro with me to be on the safe side,but you wont need it if you take all your stuff with you,travel light hun:wink2:

thanks everyone for the kind words of support - getting excited now. Pity that we ar enot going the same time as your daughter freckles...would have been great to meet up!

Also to the new bandsters who is providing us with so much information on here - hope you are all well on the road to recovery - it'll be worth it all.

Tiger - are you going with Dr Chris in belgium. If so we are banded on the same date; myself and a friend are booked in for the band 02/11. Let me know and we can look out for each other if this is the case.

Hey all.

Got my date for Brussels. Heading over in January. A bit nervous about going on my own. Don't mind going over on my own. It's coming home after the surgery that I'm worried about. I'm sure it'll be fine though

hey you know when i got there i found there were other people from the uk there to talk to you may well find that other people join the forum who have the same date as you. its only an hour flight anyway so will not take long:)are you from dublin?

p.s i did not know that smile face did that lots of laughs!!

hi tiger i booked with bridget as well she is really helpful even after the surgery you can call her up and ask her questions. if you call her she might be able to tell you who else is going when you are. its the same money with her anyway she just a sec for chris. I would not take much money with you. most things you can pay on a card. I don't know maybe 100 euros? the good thing about euros is if you don't use then i just keep them for the next time i am on holiday.

Hello All

As you probably noticed I'am new to this, I have finally joined after reading this forum for a week or so now lol

My Band is dated for the 2nd of November and I'am so so nervous even though i have thought this through for many months now :smile2:

And i like routine and schedule, and just a question, How much money would i need to take with me (apart from the Surgery money)

And what would i need to take with me ?

Thank you x

Cosmetic,plastic Surgery, Abroad Poland Europe UK GMC surgeon - Obesity Surgery

apart from the money you need to take thing like nightie, relaxing clothes, i took some of those slim fast shakes , just things that you would take on a weekend away. The hotel is all right clean and tidy, nothing grand really but it was nice to meet other people while i was there who where in the same boat and i still email them

Hi Jane

I don't mind being on my own. It's just going home after the surgery that I'm a bit nervous about. Yeah I am from Dublin. I'm sure there'll be someone else from Dublin going too. It's a bit early to ask. I just wanted to book early. Did you go on your own?

yes i went on my own there was someone there from ireland when i went,i think she flew into dublin and then went on somewhere else in ireland. i bet you will find in the next few months that people sign up for then. It was alright as i meet people there i was in a room of three people, one girl from ireland then me and another lady from uk. we all got on very well. That was in the hospital. the night before we meet up in the hotel at the consultation.They were on there own too so it was good for chats.I would not worry its really near the airport and you can fly straight into dubin so it will be on problem.

Hello all

So my band is 6 months old tomorrow and although I did really well in the beginning I have only lost 1.5lbs in the last 8 weeks.

I really need my 4th fill but pennies won't allow til November.

Please can some you tell me how you had done by the 6 month mark, and whether the next fill will really make a difference?

Feeling a bit P***sed off to be honest as had a couple of negative comments recently from the very few people that know I've had this done along the lines of "it's not working is it" or "seems like a waste of money".

I know from some of you experienced bandsters on here and the results you've had that it does work, but, admittedly I thought the weight loss may have been a little quicker.

Just looking for some reassurance I guess xx
