Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris
annab1984 replied to susanlondon's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Hiya, I looked at the list thanks for that its really good. I am finding eating fine to be honest. I am really worried about it as I just had 2 crispbreads with tuna mixed in guacamole on. I do feel satiated but found eating them fine. My first bite was a bit uncomfortable and I felt like it went down very slowly, but after that the rest was fine. I am so worried this isn't going to work for me. I am having a fill at the end of the month so hopefully that will have more of an effect on me. I have lost a few lbs though in this last week. xxx -

Hiya all, just checking if I am right on my timetable for eating. I was done last Tuesday, am I right in thinking its mushies tomorrow. I left the info in my travelbag which has been put in the loft I think! Will have to get it down tomorrow. Also are these sorts of things ok for mushies?? Mashed potatoes, mashed up carrots, broccoli, turkey mince? -

Hiya, I felt quite sore the day after, especially when they took the drainage tube out!! But I went back to work after a few days and can now even sleep on my front again haha!! (Got banded last Tuesday). Just keep taking those pain killers :wink2: Hope you feel better soon. Is it ten days then Mushies? I cannot find my booklet as am having a big organising session and cannot find anything at the mo!! God I am sick of soup and yogurt!! I am seriously craving broccolli or something! xxx -
I only got done the day before yesterday but I have just had a whole tin of Beef Consomme, it is the consistency of Water and went down fine. Is this normal? Should I be feeling restricted before my first fill? In the hospital I had a whole bowl of Soup and then 1.5 crispbreads, then last night I had a cup a soup and 2 cripsbread (i had 1/2 a sachet with 1 crispbread at about 5pm then the same at about 8pm). But a couple of the other people there had hardly anything!! Thanks Anna

I know I am being paranoid and silly but I am phobic of buggering this up as I could not afford to have it done again. I am just really sore when I drink stuff, is this normal? I only had it yesterday so am guessing it is. Also I managed to have all my soup today and 1.5 crisp breads where as a girl I was with only had like 1/4 of a crisp bread and a mouthful of soup and another woman I was with had a mouthful of soup. I suppose they wouldn't have given us them all if it wasn't normal to be able to have them. I just had another crispbread and half a cup a soup and stopped after that as I felt full and a bit sore for quite a while. Am I ok lol? I am just paranoid aren't I? Cheers xxx -

Hiya everyone, I had my op yesterday, feeling pretty sore at the moment. Does anyone have any tips on hoisting oneself out of bed as it really hurts when I try to sit up. I have bought some milkshakes with me, they are really thin and are diety ones are these ok to have? I meant to ask but forgot. What soups are good to have when I get home? I have asked my mum to get me some Beef Consomme and some cup a soups, will these be ok? I'm really bored in the hotel at the minute and looking forward to getting home tomorrow. Do you think I will be ok to go to work on Saturday? It will involve being on my feet for 8.5 hours so I am not so sure as it hurts walking a few feet at the moment. xxx -

Hello all, I am getting banded tomorrow and am so excited!!! I am in my hotel room at the mo!! Can I have a big juicy steak tonight as a last supper haha? xx -
Hiya Bubble,
Hope you don't mind me sending you a message. I just have a question about gastric banding with Dr De Bruyne as I am due to be banded in a months time. My parents are concerned about the surgery due to be having been asked to pay in cash rather than into his bank account as they feel that this is strange. I was just wondering if you had paid in cash too and if you know why he prefers cash to the funds being paid into his account. Anyways hope you don?t mind me asking about this
Thanks

I really wanna be able to get a lovely outfit for going out in. Do you think I will be able to get down to a 14 or 16? I have a xtrainer I will be using too. Thanks xx -
How long after deciding you were getting a lap band did you have to wait for it
annab1984 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am going crazy waiting. In the last few days I have decided I am getting one put it. But due to financial constraints and also due to the fact I am going backpacking for 3.5 months in June , I have to wait until September! Its sooooo long away and I want it done now! I guess I will just have to be patient. At least when I am backpacking that will be a big distraction from the waiting. Anna xxx -
Will I have excess skin with 84lb loss (will be exercising)
annab1984 posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am 25 years old, 5ft 4inches, just under 16 stone. I do have alot of stretch marks on my tummy and my thighs are fairly large although not stretch marked to the extent of my tummy (the marks on my thighs are left over from growth spurts as a teen and not as result of weight gain). I am currently a UK 18/20 (US 14/16 i think) I and want to be no less than a UK 10 (US 6). I like curves and I don't want to be stick thin. I would possible even be happy with myself at a size 12. Anyways I am going to be going to the gym at uni and might do a couple of classes like boxercise and pilates. When I have dropped a couple of dress sizesI will probs also start swimming. Anyways what do you think? Will it be a big problem for me? and does it tighten up with exercise? Thanks Anna xxx
