md75 0 Posted July 26, 2010 Hi Am feeling a bit anxious as I transferred the deposit on 19th via HSBC and the bank said that it will get to Belgium in 2 working days, but Frederik hasn't confirmed that he has rcvd the deposit and hasn't responded to my last 2 emails....should i be worried??? Should I try calling him instead? Please advice as I am getting worried now. My date was booked for 12th of August, I have already booked eurostar but no confirmation from Frederik is making me anxious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freckles 0 Posted July 26, 2010 My youngest daughter informed me this week that she is getting banded by Dr Chris in October. I have told her to join this board for the amazing support and information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobobaldy 0 Posted July 26, 2010 Hi, I have been reading through all the pages for over a week now and have just plucked up th courage to post. I am booked with Dr Chris for the 4th August, so just over a week to go now. All the information on here has been really helpful, like what to take, what to eat before and the fact that nearly everyone thinks that they will be the only one it won't work for lol. So I just wanted to really say a big thatnks to everyone who has taken the time to post advice. Just one question really, I am going to Belgium on my own, as other half can't get the time off work, I have a pretty high pain threashold and am planning to drive to airport and leave the car there to drive back home after, does anyone think this will be a problem? Natalie x Hi natalie there should be no problems driving home after you arrive back i did so with no real pain.A little tugging when turning round to check your blind spot apart from that it was fine.

He doesn't confirm receiving your deposit auomatically - I had to pester him a bit too! I'm sure he'll get back to you soon, he's probably really busy... I expect vanessa feltz being banded in belgium has increased their bookings at the moment! x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lemma1968 0 Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) I have booked with CDB for surgery on the 21st September and i cannot wait. Can anyone give me advice on how best to forward the deposit money please? Frederik sent their banking details but it looks odd and bears no resemblance to english banking details. Anyone else going to be there on the 21st September? I'm dead excited now. x Edited July 26, 2010 by lemma1968 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
