Hi - does anyone out there know of Dr Chris De Bruyne who is currently operating from Brussels - little information on the Web - but would be interested in anyone who has recently undergo surgery with him

thanks

Hey just wana wish all of u the best of luck i was banded by dr chris in september and its best decision i ever made and just to let anyone worrying about the taxis and hotel dont it will all be sorted if i can help anyone feel free to ask questions il try answer them i know how it feels to want to know everything

Hi flirtylass, which hotel didi you stay in? i have booked campanile vilvorde and fly into charleroi airport with ryanair, i know the airport is further away but flights were very cheap, im not worried just really excited.. how are you doing with yours?

Hey wishful i stayed in same hotel it was very comfortable and nice and not far from the hospital oh and if u fancy somethin to eat the night before i had the cheese burger and fries it was spicy and yummy lol eh i have bout 3and a half stone off i set myself a target of 4stone for xmas im struggling the last wk im constantly hungry but than god i have my 3rd fill on thursday so fingers crossed il make my goal in time but it aint all easy as im sure u know i think since i was banded im losing on willpower the restriction hasnt kicked in yet but im hoping this fill will do it.... As for the airport i think there is a shuttle bus u can get instead of paying for taxis

WOW you have done really well "CONGRATULATIONS", i'm sure you will get your target no problem you have got a few weeks yet, how often are you having fills? i thought you only have them every few months, have you had double or single fills? just cant believe how much you have lost...that is really great x

Hi wishful woohoo im a lb down this morn so 6lb to go lol As for fills i had surgery the 5th september my first fill 5wks later i got 3mls then 4wks later i got 2mls and getting my 3rd fill now thursday you just keep going for fills until u reach restriction and dr chris comes to ireland every month but once u reach restriction u dont have to go as much just as u lose weight u might need a wee fill every now and again as the band wil losen cos of the weight loss but im very excited at thoughts of 4stone off for xmas id really love to get 4stone and a lb off lol just so il get into the next stone if that makes sence cos its the best feeling ever to get into a new stone and gives ur confidence a wee boost and makes u more determined to get into another stone so im hoping to have a few lbs off after next wkend as after the fill have to stay on liquids for 2days im getting saggy already and my boobs are heading south lol not a great thing for a 25yr old so think il have to get a wee nip and tuck here and there at the end lol

HI flirty....you have done amazing! you should be so proud of yourself...hope I do that well!! x

Hi, yes i watch them all.. im sure i could do the op iv seen that many,ha. you have 2 av low fat meal 2 wks b4 op, after the op u av 2 av slimfast and soup 4 10days then fish and veg 4 a few wks then just normal meals but smaller,thats the instructions iv been given from belgium, iv been told 2day my old school year is having a school reunion next july... i should b a couple ov stone lighter by then,fingers crossed x

Dr De Wishfull...What operations on sky!?..Ive not seen any?..let me know when theyre on....x

OMG, that is funny! Looks like you guys will have a good time together!!

Hi Tamisu..dont tell her,but..well, Wishfull will prob make me laugh and ill burst my stitches on the ward, then shell play darts in my bum..and prob try and do the op herself with her sky tv op knowledge and a tie wrap!..OMG..what have I let myself in for!?....lol!

Hi Gillian the surgery programmes are usually on dmax on sky there usually on every night although there hasnt been that many recently, but they are really good and informative although they dont tell you about how hard it seems to be after the op it just shows the surgery and how they have done after. I just hope that i have the will power once the band has been fitted to not eat chocolate and sweets coz thats really where the weight comes from isnt it and even small amounts of sweets are still gonna add the calories and possibly put the weight back on, this is the thing i think im more worried about and you have paid all the money for it,

oh better go bed now lol so night night girlies xx:confused_smile:

Hi Gillian,

LOL!! You two are just too funny!! And I mean like "making milk come out of my nose" funny!! I remember someone wrote a while ago that they were having fun in their room and a nurse entered and told them to quiet down...Do I see a similar story coming up from you and wishfull?

You guys are going to do fine. Tammy

thanks for that info Tanya!..I shall scan through channels..do you know what prog is called?..I sympathise with your sweets and chocolate fetish!..Im the same..it happens at night..some invisible entity gets inside my body and walks to the cupboard, gets sweets out and forces it down my throat..its awfull!..Im gonna see if they can remove that demon at the same time as they do the band!...God I love chocolate. I have just got my final box of 48 wispas..I hope they take them back off the market soon, or ill be making wispa smoothies in jan!...no,no..I have got to be strong!..x
