Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris



Recommended Posts

They dont see how low the weight really makes me feel inside, because im always smiling and joking around... they dont realise sometimes I dont even wanna look in the mirror because of my size my confidence is at a all time low..... was just thinking the other day it would be nice to go swimming or walk down the beach without a top on like most blokes...

the last time I did that was about 16years ago...lol

cant-weight.

I know exactly what you mean about looking in the mirror - I have avoided them for a while now. I have also started not wanting to see people since having my baby as I had put on another 3-4 stone. But am feeling positive now (but hungry today!! :crying:) I can't wait for my first fill.

Hi

I would thoroughly recommend Dr Chris de Bruyne. I had my band fitted last week by him..Hospital spotless and he takes great care of you. cost 3900 euro..a big investment , but I'm so glad I have had it done. I was very dubious about travelling to Brussels with the money , I was terrified it was a scam but it all went well.Best of luck with it all

Hi all i just thought i would give yous an up date after my fill on tue.I have some restriction I think. I had poridge for breaky that went down no problems.I had weight watchers chicken curry for lunch that went down ok but after i had finnished i got a tight feeling in my chest.And for dinner i had chicken peas carrots and potato on a tea plate and that went down ok.Same thing as my lunch a tight feeling after i had finnished.I could not have eaten any more if you put it down to me as it felt uncomfortable so i dont know if this is restriction.Has anybody that has restriction had the feeling of tightness in the chest .It feels as if the bands getting steched.Its not the same feeling as getting stuck as i have had that plenty times.

Hi Dublingirl,

I was also banded by Dr Chris last week, on the tuesday, I know there were 2 irish girls getting banded on the same day were you one of them? I was with my sister (Big Bones), we also met Fatpants which was great. How are you doing now Fatpants?

I agree with you that Dr Chris and Frederick were great, very easy on the eye too which helps!:) All in all a good experience.

Great to hear from all the other bandsters, very encouraging, not to mention amusing too!:crying:

Hi Everyone,

Struggling a bit with the amount I'm eating! Only been banded 10 days and there's no restriction at all! Help, I'm going to undo all I've done, has anyone got any ideas on mushy foods? I'm having mash, Soups, overcooked mashed vegs! Would love to meet everyone later on in the year, the only thing is, Sheffield is over 3 hours away from Maidenhead in Berkshire.

Hi there!

I am only a few days on from you too and I have no restriction. I haven't tried meat and bread though - too scared!!

I've had scrambled egg, those crisp bake things they gave us in hospital, cottage cheese, quavers/skips (they stopped me feeling sick), jacket pots (I tried the skin today and it was OK), grated cheese. Have you tried any of the above as they are mushy'ish! I just couldn't stand anymore liquids!!

I have also tried Pasta and it's gone down OK.

I live in Berkshire too -near Reading!

Flirty you wont be far from me then, I'm just over the Runcorn/Widnes bridge.

Welcome Jewy !!!!!!

Sammy and BigBones, I am just the same, starving and not got much restriction and I'm over 4 weeks out.

I dont think many of us get much restriction before our first fill, so I wouldnt worry about it. In fact I am making the most of it.

Also it changes from day to day, and if you went back on liquid for a few days you may find that the band tightens.

But like i said, once you start getting fills you wont be able to tolerate lots of stuff.

So dont be thinking something is wrong!!!!

Hi Freckles - don't know about the lord having his arm round your shoulder, but who's the bloke next to you in the photo and looks to be coppin' a good old grope?! Looks like you are indulging in at least 2 vices there despite your protestations the other day! Bigsis x

ps I'm presuming I identified you correctly, you look great by the way. Unbelievable you are a great grandma.

EDIT: umm I was only doing one vice, drinking and just chatting to a young fella who was making me laff. Is that the 2nd vice? His wife was behind him keeping an eye on him lol.

As if, I'm old enough to be his ma.

LOL.jpg

a grope, nah, he was very careful which way his hand was as his lovely wife is next to him with the dark hair, my friend Lisa. But if you look at the woman on the end he has his hand around her and she is holding it.

me and Lisa walked in on them snogging that night!!!!

but Lisa doesnt care cos she wants rid of him:blink:

He's 12 years older than her, but he's never been her type, dont know why they ever got married...damn shame for both of them.:crying:

btw thanx for the compliment about great gran:laugh:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
