hi flitlass im trying to get appt for this were you ok havin it dne

Hi I am very interested in having gastric banding done can i organise to meet with you to discuss this procedure

Dear Lisa,

This is a patient chat forum, if you want to chat to Dr Chris De Bruyne you should go on their web site where there is a lot of information and a direct email address to the dr. here is the link for the website:

Obesity Consultations - Obesity Assist - Obesity Surgery

I got so much information from this website and the doctors website, I also spoke to someone who has been to Belgium for the surgery that I didn't feel a pre op meeting was necessary, I emailed all my medical details to the Dr and he was satisfied to go ahead, my surgery is on the 17 of March.

There is also a better 'thread' on this chat site, it's more recent and up to date, you just need to keep reading the chates to find out more info. It is very informative and supportive, you get to recognise the people writting on it!

Hi Everyone

I am considering have lap band fitted by Dr De Bruyne, but I have been told (by people who have not had it done) that it means I would be on medication for as long as the band is inside. Is this true please? If yes, do you know any side effects that the may drugs have. Please help me.

Thank you

Hi Big joy

I had surgery on 7th Jan 09 by Dr Bruno Dillemans in Brugge. He is a top Bariatric surgeon and is the leading consultant in the AZ st Jan hospital. My surgery went very well, I booked directly with him and organised my own flight/hotel etc. so far I have lost 2st 9 lbs & have just had my 1st fill last week. I am not on medication and do not know of anyone else who is on it either. If you want anymore details please let me know.

Hi and welcome bigjoy, i had my band fitted by dr chris on the 16th jan 09, you dont need medication so maybe your friends are trying to put u off surgery, you will need painkillers for a couple of days and you need to take Multivitamins for a few months just to make sure your body is getting everything it needs as your diet wont be the same for a while after surgery. Dr chris and his team are fantastic and really look after you, i havnt looked back since my surgery and so far i have lost 2 stone :laugh:. Hope this helps x

Hi there,

Please can you tell me more about this doc I am looking into having a lap band.

Thanks

Hi

Dr Dillemans is THE leading Bariatric surgeon in Belgium. He teaches gastric bands and by pass. I had my surgery on 7/1/2009 and have lost 2 stone in 10 weeks I have just had my second fill today with him. If you want details please e mail me at steffikittle@hotmail.co.uk and I will give you his PA number etc. I am delighted with my surgery and would recomend him to anyone. I booked direct with him and saved a fortune and got all my own flights hotel etc. I personally go to him in Belgium for fills but he can arrange in UK and Ireland, my feeling is after all that effort best to go to a specialist who really knows how to fill properly.
