Hi everyone. I got banded 14th March 07 by Dr Dillemans in Bruge. One of the reasons why I chose him was because they were setting up for people to get fills in Scotland, which was not too bad, about 1 to 1 1/2 hr drive to fill doctor from where I live. But now it seems that i will have to face a 3 1/2 drive to Tamworth or 5 + hrs on train to London :phanvan . I know it's prob better to stay with y're surgeon's prefered doctors, but i'm not too adamered at the amount of travelling. Does anyone know of fill doctors up north of England or have any surgestions please. Thanks Deb

Lets :help: each other. Just wondering if we could put our adjustment Docs on here. As some people have a problem finding someone close to where they live, or unable to access others if they have not had their surgery with them. I was operated by Dr B Dillemans, but unfortunately with living in Cumbria near the border of Scotland, you can guess no one near me at all. So lots of travelling to fill providers. I know the company are trying to get other fill providers but are proving that they unsucessful in most areas of country. Maybe Dilleman could take a leaf out of DeBryne's book and come over here each month. Dr Chris DeBruyne travels to different parts of country each month and will accept people whom he never operated on. Dr C DeBruyne 13 Heriot Row Edinburgh.

Mrs D do you know of any groups in Cumbria/ Carlisle or maybe Scottish borders Please. Seems as though we're on our own up here. If there is no groups up here is there anyone in this area who would like to meet up and start our own group? Thanks Deb

Anon is that price just for the fill or with travel? Dr Chris does fills for £90.

Can't wait for my fill, now everything has settled down inside I feel very hungry. But temptation on its way, at least no one buying me an egg, so will not heve one this year lol. So restriction here I come, 5 mls please caus i'm a greedy begger. Do you live far from one of his surgeries? Anon. I'm taking a friend with me, just know she'll make a comment, will get him to band her just so she could see him every other month. Lol.

Yeh I gathered Dillemans does more RNY's as he was pushing this for all banders before the op, but you are prob right not cost effective for him. But we/I banders seem as though we have been left out on a limb to sort out our fills. Never mind at least I will have a lovellllllly looking doc for the fills. so if you are right, will be good lapping him up as looking in a bakers window ummm cream cakes.

Pat could you let me know the outcome as going over to Newcastle takes about the same time. There would be nice as I would visit one of my daughters. She is at UNI there. Thanks Deb

WooHoo Got a appointment Dr Chris in April, in Edinburgh, so I will not have to travel as far now. 1 1/2 hrs instead of aprox 4 to 6 hrs. Not bothered where I go so long as it does not take too long to get there. Carlisle where I live is soooooooo far away from anywhere and no chance of getting fills in Cumbria. Patbb if you want his details email me and i'll pass them on to you or anyone who needs them. I would put them here but not sure if we are allowed.
