  1. Thats interesting my daughters port is mid centre under here bra line, but I saw a band being filled on tv, and that was also on the left side. I wonder why the difference. Thanks for the info mmm xxxxx
  2. Well done wishfull, I'm so please it all went well for you, I bet it was a great comfort having the the fun sisters with you
  3. I bet your looking forward to your first fill on Thursday and to re-start your weight loss, where had the port been put, I assumed everyone's in the same place but I've just found out that some are on the side and some are under the bust centrallly placed Open question,-- please, all post banders -are you willing to tell me where the port has been placed. does it depend on the surgeon or on the patient. Thank you xxx

    Hi from UK

    Hi heather and welcome, we have a great thread going on 'anyone heard of Dr Chris De Bruyne', follow the link and come and join us, we have 3 buddies out in belgium at the moment they were banded yesterday, your experience will be a great motivator to us new bandsters, if you find the time read the past posts and you will see what a great group we have, you will be made more than welcome, and I know all the gang will support you when you go back to belgium for you tummy tuck, keep in touch. Love mmm.xx
  8. saturday morning , and I wonder how they are all feeling,. TC I'm getting exited for you now, what if any, pre op diet are you doing
  9. have'nt heard if partners can stay or not, or if there is a fixed visiting time, we'll have to remember to ask them when they get back home. have you had your dates confirmed the last info i think is that your xrays had'nt arrived in brussels. xx mmmm.
  10. Thanks freckles, I recieved the pics they were really good and it just goes to show Dr. Chris has nothing to hide, and that BBC reporter was way (Weigh he he) out of order in the report and very biased. Did you see the extreme slimmer programme on ITV last night, WOW some of them had lost up to 30 stone, and no one said a bad thing about having a band fitted, so its given me even more incentive, Ive started on a sensible, goodness only type of diet because I felt that motivated. I have also order Ann Diamonds book war on fat (or something like that) so its all good so far. I also read your 'story' on here somewhere, I'm not very good at these forums things in fact this is my first time, so if you find anything good anywhere please share, and tell me in detail how I should go about finding it. No doubt it'll be a bit quieter on here until the girls return with their stories and experiences. xx
  11. I hire cars in France about 10 (yes 10) times a year because I have a holiday home there, if you are flying with Ryan air you can get a discout if you follow the link from Ryan air site and book with Hertz, all the campanile hotels I have used and they are a lot, have car parking facilities, you will need to take a credit card as well as the drivers driving licence with you. please remember you will probably not be able to drive yourself because of the op. if you want more info I'll give it to you here or pm me and I'll give you my mobile no. Good luck I would deff consider car hire, plus the men will be able to explore belgium when you are having your op
  12. Hi freckles, me too, I have sent you a pm. Good luck to all of you gillian, big sister, and wishfull, hope all goes well for you, hope your all up and about quickly. keep us informed, love and best wishes mmm hey does anyone know if Tamisu and lewisabbeyalysson and mum are still going to belgium, I though they were also due to be going at the end of this month, but they have'nt been on this forum for ages.Hope everythings ok for them. If you still out there girls give us shout so that we can wish you luck.
  13. The closest airport is Brussels International at Zaventem flight from London Heathrow, (mine) Southampton or manchester by easy jet or flybe I booked with flybi heathrow to brussels for two pleople it cost £145(£70 each) return the taxi run from the airport to the campanile hotel is a 10 min ride. Hope this helps
  14. Hi freckles, I'll be leaving the day you arrive, I'm staying at the camponile, which I've been told is a short taxi ride from the hospital .
  15. Hi freckles what was that about flying and the band, I fly about 8-10 times a year and did'nt know about any side effects even if it is good.
  16. no, not having second thoughts, just cant wait for it to be done and dusted. I wish it was this Fri. I'm getting fatter by the day caus I eat when i'm stressed. :)
  17. Hi Gillian, I often get a bit quiet when I'm getting nervious or apprensive, but I am still reading this thread everyday so if I dont write often give me a kick. Good luck to you all who are on the pre op-diet.
  18. hi freckles, the price youve been given is just for the operation I think, my total price was 4070 euros which includes taxi and hotel, but does not include fills. I am aged 51 so luckily have'nt been charged the surchage. I had to send 470 euros when I booked to secure the date and will need to pay 3600 euros to Dr Chris by cash when I get to Belgium. The package is available direct with Frederick Dr Chris' management team. My daughter has had a spire hospital band so it'll be interesting to see if they do things differently in belgium, good luck in getting a quick date
  19. Hi freckles and welcome, this is a great thread, very supportive and entertaining, I'm going to Dr Chris on 13th Feb so might see you there, good luck with sorting out your re-banding.
  20. fab just received it, I'm just going to settle down for a good read, cheers, AND I've just booked my flights heathrow to brussels, its the best I could find travelling from Wales without a flight change HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
