Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris

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

Oh and can anyone remind me how to update my ticker please, its been that long I've forgotten : (

Thank u x

Got it working x

hey i am sure you will get back there, its nice to have a aim isn't it. I am sure having 4 kids did not help you with your weight. my kids are always asking me for food and i make then a sandwich or something and i always end up having something myself. But kids are mad engery things running round all day.not like us. I really have to stop eating with them. the summer is the worst all those icecreams and cakes :)

Found the piccy, yeh I know I'm pulling a stupid face..sorry

Thats the jacket, at that time I was 10stone, and at 5ft 8ins tall I was in a size 12/14... and I'd had 4 children...happy days.

Its so sneaky the way the fat creeps on you. :smile:

I suffered from horrendous gas pains too, try lots of walking, make windmills with your arms - movement will help disperse the gas and also try and lie with a hot water bottle on the sorest point as that will help too

I had the pains for almost 3 weeks and sadly mine got worse after flying home, think must have been the change in pressure

Thankfully the movement does help and get your other half to give you a good rub with some hot oil - every little helps

Glad you have come through the op ok and are now on the road to skinnydom

AARRGGHHH

Just weighed myself and I have managed to put on 3lbs in the last 2 weeks.

I have been very ill in hospital and hardly eating anything at all so completely puzzled by this - my other half reckons my body had gone into starvation mode but I am gutted

Need to get back on track as quickly as possible - only 6 months until I go to Australia and Singapore and want to look fabulous for then

Anyone else experienced this

Hi guys

i am 8 days post op and 3.4lbs down. Starving - I am getting sick of fluids.

I had a bad day today. The area around my port is still very very tender to the point where I was a bit tearful cos of the pain today and probably my clothes weighing on my wound was aggravating the pain. How long does it take for the pain to subside? Also my left shoulder still feels sore, like I have a trapped nerve. Has anyone else felt this? It's very draining all in all. I know I will feel better in time tho.

I have booked my first appt with Wendy for the 18th October. What happens at your first consultation and what is Wendy like?

I'm not necessarily planning a fill then, I will see how I feel and take advice.

Ok gang, I'm off to the land of nod.

Oh oh I forgot to say I have started a blog on YouTube - my first video is up. Once I have the link I shall post it. Nite nite x
