Hi Vicki Thanks for getting back to me! I appreciate your help. Thanks for the link to Dr Chris' website. Are you going to Belgium to have your surgery? I am so apprehensive about that, worrying about things going wrong etc (i am an eternal pessimist!!!) but the price of the surgery is very appealing. Did you have your consultation in Edinburgh? Did you chose to wait until the end of the year or does Dr Chris have a huge waiting time? My sister had a lapband fitted two weeks ago in Ross Hall Hospital, Glasgow and so far, including her two week pre-op diet, has lost two stones!!! I have tried every slimming tablet known to man with no great success; whenever you stop taking them, the weight starts to pile on again! Life really is a croc, isn't it!!

Thanks MacMadame! I'll have a look and see if I can see anything!

Hi everyone. Must admit to being a bit nervous about this as i have never posted on a forum before about anything, far less something as serious as this! I am waiting to have my surgery carried out on the NHS (have been waiting forever and a day!) and wonder if anyone can tell me how to make contact with Dr Chris de Bruyne from Brussels? I have heard great things about this doctor and apparently the procedure is so much cheaper in Brussels than in the uk. Can anybody help? Many thanks in anticipation:thumbup:

Hi Vixon I live in EastAyrshire and have been given the run around something terrible. Was referred by my GP to a surgeon in Glasgow (on NHS) and told that he would do surgery but unfortunately NHS Ayrshire & Arran won't pay for it! It makes me so mad! The prices in Glasgow are unbelievably high and out of reach of most people. Can I ask how you contacted Dr De Bruyne? I have searched the web and have found very little info on him, yet everyone seems to have glowing reports on his work (and prices too!!!) Have you had your surgery? If so, how did it go; if not when are you due to have it? Many thanks for your help! Annie
