hey guys! just want to wish all you new or soon to be bandsters good luck!! i was banded by dr chris on 23rd Sept 2008 so almost a year!! if you do everything your told and treat the band as a tool you cant go wrong!! highly recommend Wendy from WLS surgery group for your after care and fills though as they have a fab reputation and offer cheaper packages for unlimited fills! i still have a way to go but no longer hate my reflection in shop windows lol !!!!!!!

hi gillian, sorry it's taken me so long to reply but my internet keeps playing up! get it one day then nothing for 2 days! No i haven't lost 5 stone!! SORRY!! wish i had lol!:thumbup: I really must get rid of these tickers!! never seem to get round to it though or figure out how to!! I have lost 2 and a half stone. it has come off really slowly and i have had tobe patient! my weightloss came to a standstill but I Have recently started swimming regularly and the weight is starting to finally shift again.:wink: i have had 5 fills! I may have to get another one next month depending on my weightloss. i am sure your fill will make a difference. It seems to take totally different amounts for everyone! anyway good luck!! And hang in there! If there is one thing this band teaches us, its to be patient!! ANGIE XX:smile:

hi flirty!! got my internet back today!! god i missed it!! hope they have fixed it properly this time lol!! how are you??

hi Flirty! Its angie here, tried to reply to you on msn but stupid thing is playing up for some reason! it seems that everyone is feeling the same way!! reading these threads makes me think that i was right and that dr chris doesn't even come to Dublin anymore!! this needs to be confirmed cos non of them had the courtesy or professionalism to tell us!! and there is no way i am paying that amount for a nurse to do my fill!! i only paid that amount for my fill and travelled so far to get it, because i thought i was paying for Dr Chris!! as it is i have NEVER! seen Dr Chris personally in Dublin! and i have been going once a month since last August!!!!

hi Julesni i am trying to get an appointment with chris de bruyne in dublin on the 4th dec. i wonder if the fill isn't enough would i be allowed another on the 9th?? i really want to get this band working for me!!

hi julesni i got another message back from Joss. she has given me her telephone number and email address. she says that the clinic is at their home. i will pm you the number and email address if you like. i not sure what to do though! another girl i talk to on here from dundalk said that she heard dr. chris coming to dublin on the 4th dec. so i might book that and wait to see him first and ask him if it's ok and safe to get fills from this othe guy!.

hi julesni i have already pm'd irishanna but no reply as yet. it will be interesting to hear from her. i am shocked that dr chris hasn't got back to me about this. on the other hand that may mean that he did train him but isn't happy about him taking his business!! do you know when wendy is next here for fills? angie x

sounds like you are getting some restriction! thats great. and also means that she was probably wise to put in 1ml¬ i just got an email back re the fills in Lisburn! it reads. HI Angie, its my husband who does the fills, Dr Chris trained him to do his emergency unfills when he used to come to our Clinic, the cost is £100 with appointments evenings and saturdays. irishanna from this site came here a few weeks ago if you want a reference but I can personnally say he is very good. i am so tempted to go there this weekend!! just so nervous about it! must try and find out a bit more! angie xx

HI Wriggle!! how are you doing now? i went to Belgium for my first fill a couple of weeks ago but no restriction!! i had 3.5mls put in and nothing!!! feelling frustrated and annoyed at myself!! i really hope this band works. angie xx

HI Julesni glad to hear that your fill went well! i don't mean to be rude, but did she say why she only put 1ml in? it seems a bit measly? i would expect to get at least 2mls if i was to go to her cos it so expensive for us bandsters! i can't seem to forward his email, but if you go on the wlsinfo site look at the members list. His name is Joss (he the only Joss on the list) he is the one that sent the message so it would be worth emailing him. i mailed him today re information, so if i hear anything i will let you know! How are you feeling after the fill? any more restriction? if i don't get a fill soon i think i will scream!! i need to feel some kind of restriction to justify the thousands i have spent on this band!! :tongue2: Ange xx
