Hi wishfull,I have booked to be banded on the 9th jan..I wanted to get xmas out of the way first!..like you I have researched this for months,read up on everything to do with banding etc! still nervous though..my husband going with me..leaving my young kids behind though,and dont like doing that but its not a holiday suppose! at the bottom of this page it shows you the other threads...go on the "anyone know of christian de bruyne" thread..theres a lot more on that one...who are you booking it through? proffessional beauty or direct with doctors?..anyway, its nice to know that theres someone else going at the same-ish time! let me know what date you get in for..Gillian x

hi gillian, i had a price from tullie law but reading other msgs they say if you go direct through dr chris its cheaper so im going to check it out, im not nervous just excited.

hi gillian can i ask who have you booked your surgery through? iv just been on a web page which is saying the price is 3000 thousand (sterling) all in, or 2800just for the surgery and then i would have to sort my own transport,,hotel ect,both prices are better than what i was told.

Hi..I have booked through bridget at professional beauty..the price is 4000euros..which can be anywhere around £2800 to £3000 depending on the exchange rate,which is bad at the mo..she gets back to you immediatly and sorted the date and everything out within a day of contacting her by email. and you dont pay until you get there, you pay Dr Chris for the op..it includes everything to do with the op..but you have to arrange your own travel and accomodation..which I have found very cheap flights (£120 return for 2 people)and cheap good hotel£50per room per night..oh and yes, its near to airport so taxi to and from hosp are reasonable..Iwas told by someone whos been they are between 8 and 10 euros hosp to hotel. eurostar is good option too taking less than 2hrs london to brussels. good luck, let me know how you go on if you get in touch with her..someone on the "Anyone know of christian de bruyne" thread has booked today and got a date for the 16th december..im waiting till christmas is over first though with kids! I could have had it this tuesday as i booked about a month ago but have gone for jan 9th but Bridget said there was no problem with cancelling or changing date as long as it was done up to a week before surgery (can I ask you what Tullia was charging? she seemed a bit pushy I thought?) .Gillian x

hi, thanx for reply, i have spoken to bridget today, she was very nice and helpful not pushy at all, i have had so many phone calss from tullie telling me i must pay today or the price will go up, she is charging 3250 for the surgery, i have found cheap flights with ryan air going from manchesterapprox same price as you have got, where are you flying from?

Hi, yes the same ryan air from manchester. I have chose the 9th jan to have it done so my husband only has two days off work really . yes Tullia was phoning me up like mad all the time and leaving messages..thought she sounded like she was gonna give me detention or keep me in at playtime or something! was a bit scared of her! I would rather go with Bridget,she sounded more down to earth! x

hee hee your so right she was a bit scary although at 1st i didnt no if she was a man or woman!! where are you from if you dont mind me asking?
