Hi Hoppe my daughter has just "been done" on 6th March and although the surgeon did not see us on 5th his assistant Frederik did and spent around 45 mins with us & others explaining the op and answering all questions. In the morning at the hospital Dr Chris had at least two other meetings with individuals to go over everything once again. So pls don't be too worried that he won't be there on arrival as my opinion is that his assistant seemed to be very qualified and professional (my opinion!). good luck for your op k

thank you & will keep you/everyone posted. x

thank you very much - i'm passing all your good wishes onto my daughter x

thank you for your good wishes - my daughter is climbing the walls and can't wait!!

so are we so hopefully bump into each other - maybe as you and my daughter are getting done on the same day the transport might be shared. don't know about you but my daughter is sooooo excited & me for her - its helped me tremendously being on the boards with everyone supporting each other and i think that once she's had the op she will be on here too!! see you soon!!

yeh, we are travelling 5th and Frederik will see her between 9 & 10 pm he says. she is getting done on 6th so I should be back from the hospital by the time you arrive - where are you staying? k

hi there, she's so excitied but even so is finding the low fat diet a bit of a challenge!! travel this thursday op on friday so fingers crossed - thanks for asking, hope you're well. kaka

hi, i notice in some of the posts that "rest" is mentioned - my daughter is getting banded on 6th march and intends going back to work (desk job)on 9th. I am now wondering if this is going to be manageable?? Is it just a personal thing where everyone's different or are you expected to be weakened by it? thanks for your help k

thank you for this mmm. thankfully I have managed for a year to keep my weight the same (still one stone over what i should be) but it has taken me 20 years to accomplish that - i did it on Lighter Life. my daughter tried LL too but couldn't stick that or any other diet so off to Belgium we go so fingers crossed for her.

thank you Gary & I hope all goes well from now on. k

fantastic, you must feel fab! I'm going with her & staying at the Campanile - hopefully it's passable!?!? thank you so much for your help. k

Wishful, she is ecstatic as she thinks it's the answer to her probs - doesn't want to be a serial yo-yoer like me!! thank you for the info re injections - sounds pretty simple. How much weight have you lost since you had your surgery - hope you don't mind me asking? cheers k

Hi all This post might show up in the middle of anothers post as I am unsure at how to do this - so sorry in advance! I have been reading everyones posts which I've found really helpful & entertaining!! My daughter is booked with Dr De Bruyne on 6th March & I think we are up to speed with everything apart from the need for "injections" after the op - can someone help me with further info? cheers k
