Hi All, I am new to this and whilst I have spent hours reading through this forum and elsewhere on the net there is sooooo much to get my head around. I too am considering Dr Chris, simply because financially it is a sound decision and his results appear no different (maybe better) than his more expensive UK counterparts. I have a number of questions that I still don't understand however: 1) Explain fills/defills? It it simply that a fill suppresses what can be digested and once you have achieved a goal weight you can defill to take on more normal foods? 2) How often are fills needed? 3) What is restriction? Is it simply the feeling that you cannot process food? 4) What does the band do? That might sound like a silly question but in lehman and practical terms does it simply supress the appetite? Does it tell your brain you are full, are there less cravings? Does your stomach rumble like mad? 5) What is the best way to book Dr Chris? There are different websites and companies which claim to represent him. I am based in Leeds so UK help is definately advantageous and assume fills can be done in Manchester. 6) I understand I need a pre-consult which can be done in Manchester, but after this how long does it take to get the surgery? Is there some sort of waiting list?
