Hi ya folks :cool2:

Im a Sept bandster too , new to LBT although been a member of another WLS forum for some time , which I thought was more for RNY bypass patients .

How exciting is this the very thought of getting a happy & healthy lifestyle .

Although patience isnt one of my best qualities :w00t: 49 days to go

This isnt the easy way out , its the only way out for most of us eh !

Hi everyone!

flirtylass, your weightloss results so far are amazing!!

I have been a member of this forum for a couple of years and I am finally ready to begin this life changing experience. Now I need to choose my surgeon and I quite like the sound of Dr Bruyne, just searched him on google and found out quite abit of info,the only thing i couldn't find was his contact details! That might just me being daft though LOL

Would anyone be so kind as to tell me how I can contact this surgeons office?

Also, is his waiting list long? If I have to wait a long time then I may aswell try for the NHS, long waiting lists is the reason I have decided to go private.

Would be sooooo greatful for your help

Katie

Hi katie

I had to wait about 4wks for my op u email dr chris urself tell him how soon u want op and he'l give u closest date possible his email addy is chris.debruyne@advalvas.be and u know cost of op is €4000 well that is package including taxis and hotel saves a lot of hassle if u need anymore info feel free to ask
