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

ah to heck with the London number, I called Julie and booked in for Thurs 9th Feb, it is £80. I dont know why that man told me £100!!!

Just got to book annual leave at work now x

Just thought id let you know, i have been to London and Cardiff for a fill because they are both about the same distance from my house. London is £80 and Cardiff was £100 They said something about it costs them more to travel to any where other than London so thats why its more expensive.

Hope this helps x

Thanks Jo jo. The chap did ask me where I want to be filled, and I did say London. He also seemed a little vague too, so I'm glad I called Julie's number again

Do you think I need to take anything with me? I cant find any of my paperwork from Dr Chris

Hello all

So update had 2mls removed from band and can finally eat! Hooray!!!!

Managed 3 pirces of 1/2 inch sized chicken nawabi plus a spoon of rice & onion bhaji last night - amazing! Plus seeded bread with phili for breakfast this morning with cup of coffee.

We have been brave this evening & ventured out for a family meal at Frankie & Benny's having a childrens meal my oldest has had the adult option. Managed part of a bacon steak, a little of the jacket potato, a few beans. Really want to try the egg but feel very full!

A positive move to have a defill! I've used all my fat reserves up so it was time to have a rest!

Have a good weekend

Hello

How do you all get on with jacket pots? Really didn't have a good experience after eating it last night! Do you still mash it up and make it very soft?

Thanks

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing good.

I'm sorry I havent been on for some time, its all doom and gloom. My dear mother passed away in November at home peacefully, I was with her, but I have had a hard time adjusting.

I had a de-fill just after as for 5 weeks I had been sleeping sitting up, because of reflux. I felt really drained, looking after Mum, not sleeping etc, so thought I would have a lot out and a rest from the band.

Wish i hadnt bothered as I have been comfort-eating and have put on such a lot of weight, about 10kilos,

Fill booked for 9th feb. I also found a lump in my boob, had a biopsy and get the results on Friday.

I told the surgeon if it is the big C then I want both off and new pert 16 year old boobs. he laffed and said he could do that if I didnt smoke anymore. I gave up in August so that hasnt helped my weight gain.

Sorry to be such a misery, but needed to share. love to all xxx

Ohh Freckles

So sorry to hear your sad news about your mum. Very hard when we are the carers and with them until the end. I understand as I was with my grandmother when she passed away.

Do hope the biopsy results are ok and it'snot the big C.

Take it easy on yourself and don't worry about the gain (that's the beauty of the band)

Let us know how you get on with the hospital.

Take care and look after yourself.

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone knows the address of the Cardiff clinic?

Went on the website to book an appointment in Newport but it says its in Cardiff now so guessing its moved and the addresses are not on there any more sad.png xx

Hi everyone, Been offline for months now, but finally back and starting to lose weight again. I couldn't get a fill for a couple of years due to living in Saudi at the moment but managed to get to London last week for a 0.75ml fill which was unbelievable and has given me complete restriction! So in two weeks i have lost a stone and now have 28lbs to go. Does anyone have any comments on their experiences of full restriction? I'm not sure if it's too tight or the best routine to get into x

Thanx so much Slinx, I have good days and bad days, have to deal with it.

I am waiting for friday now for the results, trying to stay positive.

Will post here asap
