Recommended Posts

Hi

I have decided to get the procedure done - just have to save up for it. I live in uk and want to go to Brussels as it seems cheapest and safest there. Anyone know of the above?

Thanks

Hi Susan, I too live in the Uk and and am going to see De Bruyne on the 18th October 2007 so excited. I have been told that you can have an appointment as early as four weeks. It will be really good to know how you get on with your journey. I have heard nothing but very good things about this Dr. Yay. I look forward to hear from you xx

Hi Guys

I went to Upper wimpole st at CDP's London surgery on the 18th and was happy to meet many of his patients who all seem very happy with him. I have made a preliminary date I do not yet know whether I can make but hopefully might get surgery done in Dec or possibly end Jan, hopefully the sooner. None of the patients I met said they regretted it, but that they would do it all over again. Apparently there is a lot of stuff about CBD in WLS site but which I am not subscribed to as it costs £15.

Thanks:thumbup:

Hi Jiggy

I am staying at the Campanile Hotel in Vilvoorde. It will cost 207 Euros which is about £164.00 (twin room). The Eurostar is going to cost £138.00. Thats for 2 people though as I am taking a friend with me. The only extras I will have to pay is taxi and train fares. At least I will be saving on restaurant bills lol. I think it will be Slim fast for me!

I will be having my consultation with Dr Chris on the 12th August and being baded the next day.

Where are you from?

I will let you know how I got on if you like?

Hi English Rose,

I am based in Lancashire - I am undecided wether to go with Dr Chris or Dr Mark Fouqet, so am still doing lots of reading up.

What is Dr Chris's website - why have you decided to go with him? How much weight would you like to lose?

Thanks again x

Hi Jiggy

Hope you dont mind me asking but are you male or female?

You can go to Dr CDB website on europe surgery@yahoo.co.uk

I decided to go with him for 2 reasons, he has a good reputation, I have read a lot of good comments about him on this site. And secondly the price issue, he is a lot cheaper than other surgeons.

I havent heard of Dr Mark Fouqet. Where is he based?

I have a lot to lose. Id like to lose about 7 stone. Im not sure how realistic that is.

Keep in touch, it would be great to hear how you are getting on.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
