Hi Oasis I didn't really see much on Belgium when I was looking, all the positive reviews I came across were about Prague but I decided not to get too hung up on the why's and wherefores and just get on with it. What will be will be, In the words of the bonkers George Michael "You gotta have faith".

Good. You just need to focus on the end result. My attitude is that whatever happens, I can't be any more miserable than I am now. Go do it and stop looking for excuses to put it off.

You'd best ask the company. As I said, I haven't asked any questions, they are more highly regulated abroad than in Britain so I'm putting my faith in the doctors. It's not in their interest to make mistakes.

Like how come they do the blood tests and others before 1 day of the surgery? Is this normal? ..... Thousands of these ops have been carried out using this model so yeah, I guess it's normal if you go abroad for surgery.

You'll drive yourself mad, just remain focused on the end result and get on with it. Think positively at all times and get any negative thoughts banished immediately.

Haha I was like you! But my friends were asking me about the surgeon then I googled him and started to freak out! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Oops, made a right pig's ear of the quoting, sorry!

I've no idea who's doing mine but I don't really care, I'm just so focused on getting it done

I'm off to Czech Republic on the 18th, what date are you going to Belgium?

I'm really going to struggle with afterwards, I hate those Protein shakes, I don't like any shakes full stop. I'm also allergic to egg and fish.

Hi All Many thanks for your replies. It's good to have some support as I'm doing all this on my own, my friends think I'm off to Prague on business! I just don't want all the doubters and negative comments, I'll tell them after. @@Lulu - I filled in the BB online form and someone called me and I went from there. @UK_Cathy - Thanks for info. There is wifi (thank god) as I'll be taking my lappy and working from my hospital bed. @@chrisredjeep - thanks you. @@scaredandexcited - stalk away, I'll keep you updated! Started the liquid diet today, must not think about food, must not think about food, must not.........

I went to see my GP on Friday regarding my surgery later this month and she was fab. I asked her if she would do my DVT injections (the thought of doing it myself freaks me out) and she said I have to go and see her the the day I get back and she'll sort out for the District Nurses to come to me and to let her know if I need an other support. She's said she used to live in Prague so has no reservations about me having my surgery there.

Hi, I'm from Altrincham.
