Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris

[MummiesBB 5]

hi, has anyone ever gone to be banded by dr de bruyne and he has found an ulcer or a haitus hernia "apparently we get them because we are so fat" so if he found a complication like that could he deal with it then and there

many thanks

Not sure you would need to email his general manager - Frederik and ask him for some advice.

HTH

Dr Chris and his team are fantastic!

Hi. Dr Chris de bruyne said that one in three obese people have an hiatus hernia he will repair it but if you know you have one he would like an X-ray. Why don't you email his general manager Frederick serneels at Belgium surgery services.

Cakey - I'm pretty sure that Garry on this forum had a hernia. Dr Chris found it when doing his op and repaired it free of charge. I'm not sure if Garry's been on here lately but you could PM him. Dr Chris is also a general surgeon so is well equipped to deal with these kind of complications. x

Had my second fill done in London last Thursday by Fred, so now have 5 ml.

Cant say it feels any different except food and drink now 'gurgles' when it is going down lol.

I am like a few on here in that all my weight lost so far was in the first couple of weeks after surgery and I have only lost 2lb over the last month, so feeling a bit dissapointed, but was ready for this happening as I know from reading on here that it has also happened to quite a few others.

I have always had it in my mind not to expect anything until at least my third fill, which I have booked for 25th November in London. :thumbup:

Hello

Seems a bit better but oh boy it hurts like crackers in the middle of my back where it's just feels like it is stuck. Lots of PB and I have lost quite a lot of the liquid that I have been having. Small sips or tiny sucks through a straw. Really not very pleasant.

So quick update managed a cuppa Soup last night seems to respond better to hot/warm rather than cold/icy.

Again managed to have de-fizzed lucozade last night and felt less shaky after 4 days of no food.< /p>

Had a cuppa soup today at school and that went down well but cold is really not helping as I have to throw up.

This may be TMI but has anyone else experienced this and when they were sick had brown bits in the sick or flecks of blood? All a bit worrying really. But do feel a little better so think I shall persevere and not have a de-fill yet.

Do you think it will loosen off with time?

Take care

Claire

p.s. good news is that I am half a pound shy of losing 3 stone so very happy!:thumbup:

Hey you! How are you doing? How's your weight loss and have you had another fill?

Today could have been better but I have got through it. Just worried in case I am causing any damage to the stomach by not getting a de-fill.

I am managing to get cuppa Soup down but beef broth didn't want to stay put. Also when I drink it feels like it is pooling in my chest! Very bizarre sensation.

Anyway hope all well in your camp. When's baby due?

Take care
