I have my first appointment on friday,have been reading all the pros and cons, I am based in Ireland but am going to Belgium to get surggery has anyone any advice or have been there please let me know.

I am also interested in how you feel after the surgery are you able to drive shortly after, I live in a rural area so would like to get advice, is it really worth it, does it really work, can you have a glass of wine, any advice would be greatly recieved.

Thanks

I don't know about Belgium for surgery. I've seen one or two people travel there (on the message board) for surgery. You might want to post on the main forum to gather their stories.

However I can tell you that it took me nearly a week to feel well enough not to take pain medication. The pain medication is what keeps you from driving.

It is worth it. You need to commit to a change in how you live your life. And yes, you can drink a glass of wine here and there.

Good luck.
