hi.

yes that would be good.. which service station would that be??

There isnt any service stations down this way that could be reached from the other side of the road so we wouldnt be able to get your car on the way back, There is an asda in queensferry which is 30 seconds off the A55 and we could meet there if you want x

Hie everyone,

I am new to the forrum. I have made a provisional booking for the 3rd April with Dr Chris in Brussels. I am wondering if there is anyone out there booked on the same day. I am still hung up about seeing the doctor for the first time the morning of the surgery. Does anyone know why he stopped seeing patients on the standard package the night before.

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

Hi All

Well my daughter got done Fri and back at work this morning - we'll see how it goes tho! Everything went extremely well and I was very impressed by Dr Chris's team. Shoes was done on Friday too and she seemed to be very upbeat although i didn't see her on the morning she left as she had to be at the airport early (hope you're still ok Shoes??). I am just on briefly as at work! so just another thank you to everyone on here for there support and hopefully continued assistance - my daughter will no doubt take over from me shortly. Just a little more info from the trip - i met two girls who were banded by Dr Chris as they were in the same room as my daughter who were in to get their tummys tucked, one had lost nearly eight stone in 36 months and the other 5 stone in 12 months, which is fantastic.

best to you all

Firstly, so glad its over for Shoes and Kakas daughter, its always great when friends return home and are 'done'.

Thanx everyone for enquiring about my meeting, all went well, I will send a pm to you Mmm shortly.

Big sis, I am so looking forward to the meal, what time does she want us, and do we also bring sleeping bags as I will be too drunk to go home.:confused:

I love madras also, thats why my email addy starts with pattymadras ...really it does:thumbup:

Well done Wishful for your weight loss, tell me again how long since your op

Garry, good link hunny, thanks.

My stitches came out ok, just stung a bit, it doesnt feel so tight, such a relief.

I have to use Vaseline though cos they are still scabby, which i put down to stress.

Now I have that damn pain in my chest, that Gillian had and I cant remember what to take...do they still sell Gripe Water?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
