i looked at the miss flumps link as well know its brillant isn't it..well done for booking its a great idea just go for it. The thing i like is they say 90 per cent of people get to there ideal weight in a year... just think of that in a year you will be slim:smile:

Thanks Julie!!

That really makes us pre-bandsters feel better!

Do frederick/Dr Chris give you a list of what you can eat afterwards? I'm wondering what to stock my kitchen with before I go.

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.

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.

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.

Don't worry.. 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!

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

      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.
