bigsister 0 Posted March 13, 2009 Hi every1, Can any 1 help with a bit of info, I am hopeing to book my op over the weekend, Has any of you flown from manchester, which airline did you book with, did any1 book over the weekend, and does any1 know who flys bk on sunday x:thumbup: Hi Mandy. Me, gillian and wishfull all went with Ryanair from Manchester - flying out on the Thursday, op on Friday and flying back early on Sunday morning. Although it was cheap flights, you fly into Charleroi airport which is about an hour away from the hotel/hospital which isn't too bad on the flight out but was hard on the return journey when you're not particularly feeling your best and it's a very early start from the hotel for the flight at about 7am (check in around 5am). On reflection, unless money is really an issue, I would have rather paid more with another airline and gone to Brussells airport which is only 10 mins away. Hope this helps, bigsister x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wishfull 1 Posted March 13, 2009 :scared2: Hi Wishful, I was booked in for 11am, but then again so was the girl sat next to me! I got in about 11:15 and out for 11:30.It was quite busy when I came out with 4 or 5 people waiting including a woman who was so slender she looked like a model! She said she had a band and had lost 3 stone, but she can't have been very big before-hand as she was really slim!!! Not sure if I'm going next month or not as Frederick said that 7ml might be enough but I can't see it some-how! Up to now, I've been going every 2 months, to give it time to settle between fills......Anyway, I will see how much restriction I have over the week-end, and then decide. Take care, Kath.x.:crying: I will be going again next month cos i cant go in may, i feel hungry this time after my fill, last month i didnt so for this reason i think he has taken my fill out not put some in lol x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mmm 0 Posted March 14, 2009 Hi Mandy, I'm really excited for you, it wont be long now, once you,ve sent off your deposit and sorted your flights it will be on top of you in no time. I take it you've choosen the direct booking option, all you need to do is inform Fred of your flight numbers and times. I did it when I sent my deposit off. Are you taking anyone with you to help on the return journey? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freckles 0 Posted March 14, 2009 Good luck Fatpants, though I know you'll be fine hunny, will be thinking of you. Mandy great news chick, the time will fly by, once its booked that always happens. Big sis please make sure there's plenty of madras, pappadoms and mango chutney and I'll be sorted...tell you what I wish I was coming and could shovel that lot down, I would be in heaven. No wait...thats why I had to have the band in the first place... duh!!! Next saturday is the surprise party for my baby daughter who goes to Australia for 12 months with her young man. God I am going to miss her so much, she's my best friend. She has changed roles with my eldest daughter who now has a life after losing 8 stone, going to uni and meeting a new man, and is now pregnant. She still has her band, but has a lot of acid reflux (since before the pregnancy) and she seems to still be losing weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatpants 0 Posted March 14, 2009 Hi everyone, I am now preparing for my trip. Went to town to get my Euro's, what a crap rate, I should have got them 6 weeks ago when I booked my op, I thought I'd be clever and wait for a better rate, it cost me £200 more by waiting! This morning I had a cookathon! I made loads of food for my husband and the 5 kids, 2 lamb balti, 3 mince and tatties, 2 fish pies, sweet & sour chicken, chicken tonight thing (homemade though), I printed up labels with contents defrosting instructions, cooking instructions, and what he needs or can cook to go with it. who thinks I,m on a guilt trip? Tomorrow I just need to pack my bag and chill out with the family! My 10 yo daughter asked me if I was getting nervous, today I am not, but yeasterday counting out the money before going to change it in to euros I suddenly had a panic attack and had to get my husband to sit with me and discuss everything! I don't think I am nervous about the operation, I think I am nervous about spending all that money .........what if it doesn't work, or the band gets a hole..... does it cost the same to get it sorted? That is my panick, that's what makes me nervous! Take care all of you and thanks for all your wishes and thoughts. Fatpants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
