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

really glad you have good things to say about dr chris really puts my mind at ease i was also wondering how people are getting with the injections in the stomach can it be done your self or do you need to get someone to do it for you i dont like thr thourght of it being done at all

Hi Naomi, The injections arn't too bad, you could do them yourself (if you're not frightened of them like I am)! In my case, I got my husband to do them. If you get someone to do them for you, as long as they inject them slowly you shouldn't feel anything!

Hello yeah bound to bump into each other im flying from birmingham with brussels airlines al booked up and ready to go, not had my consultation yet having night before in brussels how about you

is there an additional charge for the consultation the night before? has he already given you a pre-op diet to follow?

Thankyou:confused2:

No not really had any information as yet but no there is no extra charge for the consultation if it is booked through bridget what about you.

Hi Naomi, I finalised and paid for my flights today!!! and am staying an extra night in Brussels to be on the safe side after the operation!

Going to see Dr De Bruyne in Dublin next Thursday for a consultation and to get some info! also have a consultation the day before the operation as well.

Glad it is all finalised now! just have to concentrate on gathering information on food supplies and options for afterwards!!

I am sure i will probably meet you in the hospital! if not then probably bump into each other afterwards at the hotel!

Hi Jackruss,

I dont know if you have already left for Belgium or not as you said you were going today. Don't be nervous, it will all go smoothly for you I'm sure. I also live in the north-west so if you want some support I'm here!By the way, I've not heard of anyone being refused the night before( but the thought did cross my mind at one point )!!!!!

Good Luck,

Kath.:crying:

HI ENGLISH ROSE AND MOOSTER I to thought Fredrick was absolutely gorgeous to if not in to much pain when he comes to your hotel he might not get out

hello just wanted ask for advice on what to pack to take with me do you need to take soup and shakes with you or will you not be able to stomach that so early also when your in the operation do you get to wear your knickers r do you have to be naked.
