Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris

[bigsister 0]

hi all!! new to this site found it whilst searching for information re Dr Chris De Bruyne as i am awaiting a reply from himself or his assistant called "Frederick" re Band Surgery?

I was contacted by a lady called Tullia Law who i presume is the UK agent for Dr Chris but was totally put off when she mentioned paying all the cash upfront.

I would much prefer booking with him myself and paying most of the fee once in Brussels and when i have actually spoken to him.

Any information or tips on dealing with Dr Chris the actual surgery, hotel and travelling is very very much appreciated!!

also to add any info from men who have had it done would also be very useful from my own point of view.

phew.. thanks

Hi timeisnow - a few people on here have had experience with this particular agent and been completely put off by her pushy, hassling attitude. If you wish to book a direct package (4070 euros I think) then you can e-mail frederick.serneels@ecfs.be who is Dr Chris's assistant and co-ordinates the dates for surgery. The package includes all the surgery fees, pick up at airport and the hotel for 3 nights for 2 people. All you need to do is book your flights once your date is confirmed. Good luck with your arrangements, Bigsister.

Thats it! Ive made up my mind and I have emailed Frederick asking to book me in for the 26th of June. What have I done, I really need this, I have spoken about this for over a year, why do I feel so guilty, happy, scared and anxious at the same time. I know part of it is I will have to go on sick leave and lie about why. I haven't told my 3 boys of my decision as one of them aged 21 is doing his finals for his degree just now and would only worry. The other two, twins of 19 today!, would probably think of what they could do with the 4000 pound and say they will take me to their football training to get the weight off. Young and slim they really dont understand. I wish Frderick would get in touch to confirm the date then I could book my flight. I only emailed him 2 hours ago!!!! Anyway sorry for babbling my nerves are getting the better of me. By the way Gary thanks for the advice you really went out your way and your willpower is tremendous.Thank you sooooo! much. Janicex

Hi Homecare/Janice - congratulations of making your decision, you just have to jump sometimes and think about the details afterwards, it will all fall into place like these things do. You do right to tell as few people as possible, I didn't tell many but it's ended up with a quite a few more knowing than I had wanted just because people can't keep their mouths shut (my own mother included!) Hope you get your confirmation through soon, Bigsister x.

Well done Janice........You go for it and please dont feel guilty about spending the money. Just think about how much you have spent on the children over the years. You go to work to earn it as well. I'm waiting for an e-mail back and its killing me. I keep looking to see if it has come yet but nothing. Truth is there probably working. I seem to have receive e-mails from Chris or Frederik late at night.

Take Care and now you'll be on countdown until the big day!!

Welcome TIN, hope you dont mind me abbreviating your name :smile2:

HC have sent you 2 pms in reply to yours. I'm sorry sweetheart but I wasnt banded by Dr Chris, but i'm sure someone on here can tell you his mail addy, cos I wouldnt wait for freddy boy to mail you back he's obviously busy, go straight to the top!!!!

Oh my God!!! Just had confirmation Iam booked for the26th of June. Fear is really consuming me now, but I am more scared of getting heavier and having a heart attack or someother weight related illness.

My husband thinks I should tell my boys but I dont want to. I know what you mean big sis an innocent word here and before you know it everyone knows. I am not telling my mother (she would worry and then tell wee mary down the road, who would go on to tell big jean etc) I am also not telling my sister as she tempts me with things when I go on a diet and tries to sabotage my efforts. It is pretty stressful keeping it to yourself and husband and one friend. Thank goodness for this site its like a release valve. J x

I know Gillian but I just want to keep it quiet just now. Another stupid question. The date he gave me Friday 26/06/09, is that the date I travel and the op on the Satuarday 27th? Out on Sunday 28th fly home on 29th? Jx

Hi, that will be the date you have the surgery. You will need to travel the day before. Bigsister x

Sorry, didn't explain that very well. You will need to arrive in Belgium on 25th (the Thursday), have surgery on Friday, leave hospital on Sat 27th and stay a further night at the hotel and then you can go home on Sunday 28th, however, if possible, it is better to stay an extra night if you can as you may feel better for travelling with an extra days rest.

Jackie, i did a diet called lipotrim i got it from the chemist which you will be albe to find them on the net (google it) and i lost 13lb in my 1st week, its kinda the same as lighterlife i think (3 shakes a day) over 6 weeks i lost 33lb its kinda a quick fix so it may help.

i rang fredie last night and he sounds a real dish (i remember someone saying on here he was a bit of a lucker) but sounded lovely and really helpful xx
