hi karob you've done great,how was your pain when you were leaving to go home,and is there any english channel on tv in hotel room thanks:huh2:

Hi wannabe

The pain I had was mainly on my left side where the port is. You are given some soluable pain killers when you leave hospital and they can be taken every 4 hours. The flight home was uncomfortable, I was just glad that my husband was with me. I was in alot of pain when we landed, but another pain killer sorted that out.

There wasn't any english channels in the hotel, but I had my laptop with me and a few films. They also have wifi in the hotel so that kept me occupied. To tell you the truth, you may not be up to watching telly. I just got myself into a comfortable position and stayed that way. Make sure you keep moving afterwards. I found that walking up and down the corridor helped. The day I was going home I managed to walk down to the town and back, even though I had to stop and sit down every now and then.

Bring some smooth cup a Soups, a mug and a spoon with you. You won't want much after the operation, but they are handy to have if you get hungry. Also stock up on some bottled Water to have in your room.

Remember that it will be a slow process and it's not a quick fix. You have to work with your band, but just think how you will feel when you start losing weight and feeling great. I have only lost 2 stone so far, but I feel so much better about myself. I have even started to throw out all my fat clothes, 'cause I know I won't need them any more.

If there is anything else you want to know, just ask.

Sher, I paid 4150, but it was direct with Frederick and Dr Chris, they do include hotel and taxi. If you have booked with someone else, then I don't know what their deal is.

Does anyone know the best way to get from London to Dr. Chris's clinic? My surgery is June 25th and I haven't booked transportation yet.

Was anyone else afraid they would be the only one this surgery didn't work for?

:smile2:Hello i have just booked the eurostar from st pancreas it was quite cheap i think about 80 return. Then you get off there and get like there underground to the voordorde a few stops then the hotel is in the station car park.

i only know because my friend went about 2 months ago. we are both booked though professional beauty -europesurgery. Bridget is really helpful if you call her i sure she will help you.

i don't think it takes long on the train about 2 hours and at least you don't have to worry about taxis etc when you get there!

i am so looking forward to going. feeling so large at the moment. this is the start of a new life for me.

Hi girls

I emailed Bridget as really disappionted thought I had booked direct with Dr Chris. She has been very sympathetic and agreed to help me sort things out.

Now I'm pleased again and looking forward to being banded and meeting up Slinky.

Gaining weight prior must be a common theme cause I too have gain even more weight since becoming serious re: banding have also started having vivid dreams.

I have thought about it all going wrong but have put this to the back of my mind as I believe coping with Knee, back, feet, being unhappy buying bigger clothes size every year and reflux problems are worse:eek::frown:

You're very welcome girls. Yes kath I had to pay £90 to have 3mls out and then £90 to put it back in.But Freddyboy is very fair, because he couldnt get the 3 back in the first time I went back, he told me if it wasnt enough then he would do the next fill free of charge.

Which Chris deprez did. Then when i went in may with my daughter (her appointment) Freddy asked how i was getting along. i told him I was having acid reflux every night again. He said I'll take some out for you as its not good for your health to have the reflux.

I said to him that I didnt have another £90 and he said he didnt expect me to pay again and did it for free.

So to me he is a good guy and it proves they do care about their patients and and not just in the game for the money. My opinion anyway.

Hi Freckles, just wanted to say thank's for answering my questions the other day, much appreciated! I've booked for Manchester for July 8th, to have some taken out, then it's "Thailand-here we come"!!!!

I've now discovered I can eat Prawn crackers dipped in curry sauce from the chippy, goes down like nectar, while everyone else is eating rice and chips. But I dread to think just how many calories are in this...any ideas?

I think maybe I will just keep this as a treat.
