Good. You just need to focus on the end result. My attitude is that whatever happens, I can't be any more miserable than I am now. Go do it and stop looking for excuses to put it off. :)

Hi everyone

Good luck with your Surgery LuLu -lulu !!! I am looking at having surgery done in Europe too ! But I have not made my mind up with who yet. I have a particular interest in Brussels Dr Chris De Bryne and Prague but not sure of the surgeons yet ?? The price in Prague is good and seems good and less waiting so is looking favourable. Please everyone I would be glad of any feedback from you all !

Thanks

That is very true! "Whatever happens, I can't be any more miserable than I am now"

I had mine done in Belgium....who is your doctor? The service and care was excellent. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Mine was in Brussels...can't remember doctor's name bit will look it up.

Hi Sam

Did you have yours done by Chris De Bryne ?

Hi Oasis

I didn't really see much on Belgium when I was looking, all the positive reviews I came across were about Prague but I decided not to get too hung up on the why's and wherefores and just get on with it. What will be will be, In the words of the bonkers George Michael "You gotta have faith".

The price difference in Prague and Brussels is around 1000 pounds! So I think it's definitely worth it to have it in Prague!

For me, I wanted Belgium cz its closer and I've already been there before.

Can't do it now but will see if I can find anything out. He should be registered with a national association. Have you asked what his credentials are? Any credible surgeon will provide the details.

Thanks Oasis but I've spent so long making excuses about why I shouldn't have it done and then I realised that I don't actually have a life, I exist. I wont go out because I've never anything to wear and feel rubbish, I can barely breath after a few yards, my bones ache, knees have gone, it's pathetic. I've got a good few years left in me (hopefully) and I don't want to spend them like this. I regret the time I've wasted and 95% of what I've read is positive, the general consensus seems to be that most people wish they'd done it years ago.

I'm going with Beautiful Beings, I fly to Prague but it's about a two hour journey from there but they collect you an take you back to the airport. It cost me around £4200 plus £120 in flights from M/cr. I didn't have to ay £70 for my CVT injections as my GP is going to do them for me.

Hi Rosycheeks

That's quite a long journey in all ! What are the CVT injections ? Please excuse my ignorance ! Is it to stop blood clots ? I will be happy to hear your outcome of it all as I am all over the place deciding where and what surgeon he he

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
