Recommended Posts

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?

DAMIENNE:confused_smile:

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.

Maria :biggrin:

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
