Thanks so much Gillian your reply has made me laugh and cry at the same time. J

Thanks for all the advice guys. The only thing is I feel really guilty spending all this money on me, did anyone else feel like that? Gillian thanks for reasuring me about the under active thyroid. Moneyp23 I would have loved to be your band buddy but my son is graduating on the 3rd of July. Gary thanks for advice. Anyway got an email from the doc asking for height weight etc, how long does it take for him to get back to you with dates etc. So impatient, anxious, nervous!!!!

Thanks Gillian for easing my mind over thyriod problem. I am desperate to book now but have to wait until July when I am due some cash. Roll on July. Now Ive found someone who will probably do it I am sooo excited

Lucky you:w00t: sooo wish it was me. Good Luck. Can I just ask what airline you fly with as we are both from Scotland and I can only see ryanair going into the south of Brussels which I am told is around 55km away from hospital. j

Thanks just emailed again. fingers crossed.:tt2:

Hi again ShellyG I emailed the address you have given me but it came back saying their was a problem with that email. I have checked that I didnt miss a letter out or any thing and even copied and pasted your reply but it still came back any ideas?

Thanks Shellyg for the quick reply. I have only decided its what I want to do and my head is buzzing. I was hoping to maybe get it done around July as I am going to Florida in August and feel I would have recovered from the Op then. I am not sure how long his waiting lists are? Or how often he comes to Scotland for fills. I have noticed that some people go to wls for fills and I am investigating this at the moment. I have verbally been offered the operation through lighterlife at a cost of £6950 by Dr. Super in Birmingham. Though I must stress it was only over the phone and as my BMI is 35.4 I dont know if once I got there He would accept me. Looking at all the options just now. J:cursing:

Hello everyone glad it went well Freckles. I have been on the internet all day yesterday researching this gastric band. A couple of issues I am still unsure about can any of you good people help me? I have read that you cannot get banded if you have hypothioridism, ie an underactive thyroid I think. Secondly if Dr Chris fits your band and you then go to wls for fills and they pierce it what happens? Thirdly how come some people can go for fills on this site more reguarly than others? and finally does anyone know how much the package is with Dr Chris. I have emailed him but still waiting for a reply:cursing: I know I am rambling but Iam sooo excitied and want to get as much info as possible. P.S so glad I found this site j:tt1:

Good luck freckles hope all is ok

Thanks for replying and for the lovely welcome:w00t:

This maybe the wrong place Im posting. First time please be patient. I have been looking to get a band done for almost a year and have visited the nuffield in Glasgow and also Ross Hall. On both occasions I was turned down as they said my BMI at 35 was too low and would only consider it if I had other complications. I have been in contact with another company who say they would do it but the cost is £7000 including a years follow up. I came across this site while doing my research and I am really interested in Dr DE Bruyne's clinic and prices. Have also noticed people getting fills in Glasgow. I have tried to follow the posts but they really are confusing. Also interested in the full package ie taxi, hotel, band that the doctor provides. Any info would be greatly appreciated. May I say the weight losses are inspiring and apologise for my babbling, just so anxious for info. Thanks J
