MD75- I did a bank transfer through my internet banking (HSBC) it cost me an extra £9.

Thanks guys for your replies. The excitement and slight nerves are kicking in now....but at the same time, it's all still surreal :confused:

Hi All I am going to Belgium to be banded by Dr Chris on the 11th August. I have a few questions and was hoping you guys might be able to answer some of them for me. Here we go: When am I likely to hear back from Freddy about which hotel we are staying in, how to get there, what to do when we get there etc? I am booked to travel by Eurostar, did anyone else travel this way? Will the taxi collect us from the station? (I have booked the package directly with Freddy.) Did anyone take out an insurance policy to cover costs should there be any problems afterwards? i.e with the band slipping or anything else that could need a re-operation. I sleep on my tummy; once the tenderness of the operation has gone, will I feel the port or anything when laying on my stomach? Are you aware of something being inside your stomach or do you become oblivious to it? I read that you have to inject yourself afterwards. How long is that for and why do you need to do it? Do you sleep on a ward in the hospital? I am worrying about the night in the hospital because I know I will be thinking about my children and stuff and will probably end up being a weeping woosy! How soon after can you get up and walk about? Do you get up to use the toilet etc. How soon after the operation can you drive? How long after the operation do you get all this excess gas for? I have images of me going back to work and...well...basically farting away at my desk!!! Phew!!! That was more than a few! Thanks in advance everyone.
