Hi All,

I am considering having lapband surgery with Dr De Bruyne if he will do it on someone of my age(health good).

I have read a pile of stuff ,particularly on this 'Irish' part of the forum but I have a few questions that some of you may be able to answer for me:

Where can have a Pre op Consultation with the Dr ....In Dublin somewhere? I have phoned a couple of places that I saw mentioned..Fitz Sq and somewhere else to no avail.

Would I be able to have fills /defills 'somewhere 'in Dublin? I have read that this expected to be an option soon.

Obviously I would also LOVE to here from anyone close to my age if any one is out there?

Hi Damienne. I'm 25 so can't help with the over 60s part of your post but I can tell you that you can have a consult with Dr. de Bruyne in Dublin. The address is Raglan Clinic, fitzwilliam st, dublin. He is next over on the 8th of May. he comes over about once a month and does fills and consultations. Hope this helps. The number to call if you want to book a consultation is 00447872963503 (julie) and she can give you an appointment. I went to Belgium so if you have any questions just shout.

Hi Damienne.

I had my band done when i was sixty years old, the only regret i have is that i never knew about the lapband when i was younger, then i would have had a lot more years to enjoy my weight loss.

I love the freedom of not having to shop in the larger size stores, been able to do more things with my grandsons, can walk upstairs with out getting out of breath. I just came back from a trip to Ireland my first since banding, and did not have to ask for a seat belt extension. YEA!!

Good luck on your journey.
