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 slinky,

did you have wait long for your confirmation after money was transferred? I transferred my deposit last monday and hasn't got any reply from frederik yet. I hope I will get reply from him soon, getting very nervous but also extrimely excited especislly after reading all those letters here and all those successfull stories. I cant wait to get rid of that fat around me and fit in my slim clothes... funny I have kept all my size 12 jeans and top because i knew i cant be huge all my life and sooner or later I will do something. I that is it I am 2 weeks away from my transformation.

thanks for your support and talk to you soon.

take care,

Well I am back from my op in Brussels. Met some lovely people over there. Hospital was spotless and Chris and Fred were so nice. Was in a lot of pain after the surgery, mainly full of gas. Feeling better today although still a bit tender. Thankfully most of the trapped wind has gone. I wasn't expecting to be in so much pain. I instantly regretted having the op when I woke up in pain. But I am assured that this is a common thread amongst everyone that has had it done.

For those who are in the process of going for surgery be sure to bring something for trapped wind in liquid form and try and walk around as that realy helped me. Stock up on fluids when you get there as I was very de-hydrated post op. You will be in pain but it's only a temporary thing. I'm so glad the surgery is over and I can now begin the real journey

Well done Dubgirl and best of luck on the start of your journey x

Thanks Charlene and Slinky. Just changed my dressings earlier. Was sore after. Will feel better when the stitches are out. When did you go back to work? I'm not sure if I should go in on Monday. My job is quite heavy at times and am worried that the stiches will burst

Hey Blondy

Must say I wasn't nervous but did have regrest afterwards. It's very painful but that's only temporary. If you need to know anything let me know. Best of luck xx

i would hold off a bit dub girl cause if it is heavy work you have to be careful with your port side because if you pull it you will be in agony honest my friend thought she had damaged her's by lifting somthing quite heavy so try and take more time off for heavy work anyway it's not to bad light work,it's best not taking the chance of damaging it good luck hun i didnt change my bandages much i just bought the water proof ones and took them off after 5 days to heal themselves lol and just made an appointment with the nurse in our doctors practice to check them over and take out the wee blue stitch on the 10th day xx
