I asked Frederik about insurance cover for this type of thing.. he said, I didnt need any special holiday insurance.. on further research, it would appear that there is no cover that can be purchased for cosmetic travel insurance..your ordinary travel insurance doesnt cover it either.. maybe someone else has found a policy but I have been unsuccessful..

Well Guys I'm off tomorrow for my band on Friday. :sad_smile:

I'm just about ready for it I think but nerves running very high.

To top it all I have just landed a new job and I start on Monday!!!!!

How have people felt a couple of days later? I am planning on doing some walking on Saturday and Sunday to get myself up and around, at the end of the day I'm not ill, it has been my choice to have the op so I should get on with it.:smile:

Hi everyone

Only 5 days to go til my op!!!! Not doing very well on pre op, I am trying to get in all my favourite meals before its liquids and mush for a while.

I have got my list of everything I need, but have a question about Vitamins, how can I take them if you can't swallow them whole or chew them?? I know it sounds daft but really want to make sure I'm not missing out on anything.

My ten year old daughter asked my husband if I was going to die, trying so hard to explain everything to her but it really made me think for a while if I was doing the right thing, but then the likelyhood of me dying from obesity would be greater than the op itself!

hi i personally never take pill Vitamins but buy liquid multi Vitamin instead ... a little more expensive but ur body has a much better time absorbing all the vitamins

Hi vanessa, not long now eh? How's the pre-op diet going? I want this to be over and done with now.

If you are concerned about not hearing from Fredrick, give him a call or email him, im sure things are going to be fine and you are not going to be abandoned at the airport lol.

Did anyone see the 10 Oclock news last night regarding Dr Chris and WLS. There was a woman on there saying that she had had trouble with her band due to slipage and because of Dr Chris not being in this country at the time she had to have emergency surgery here on the NHS. The news articule also said that some of the WLS abroad were not following the guide lines set by the BMC and were still operating on people with a lower bmi than recommended:w00t:. Dr Chris refused to give the BBC an interview. Just interested in what others think about this.

Im still going for the band regardless because he has a good reputation and everyone here on this forum has only good things to say about him and his team.:eek:

I dont know of any insurances, I have just taken out the normal holiday one, but you could get the EHIC which replaces the old E111, which would cover you should you need NHS treatment there. You can apply for it on line which will take 7 days, post office which i think is 2 weeks and you can also phone for an application which i think will take about 10 days. Hope this helps:smile2:

Thanks Vanessapc and chrissy4. I must say i am getting a little nervous about it all, I have come in to work today and everyone is asking me if i saw the news last night (which i missed) but have read about in on the web but still didnt realise it was dr chris's patient. I know everyone is well pleased with him on the forum but just getting a bit scared.

Lol yes im getting very nervous and my buttock cheeks are firmly pressed together, but not because of last nights programme, I have been nervous since I made the first contact lol:ohmy:. To be honest it could of been any Dr. patient, slipage happens, its one of the downsides of the procedure, but it doesnt mean that the Dr. was at fault, slipage can happen because of many different reasons, she may of had a blockage, lifted something to heavy, been vomiting. I think her point was that the Dr. was not available to see her when she got into trouble and she had left it until she couldnt swallow her own spit and she must of been really scared. We all run the same risk having it done in Brussels, but if we follow the rules, look out for the symtoms we should be ok. I understand that Dr Chris and Fred are both available on the end of a telephone and email should something be worrying us, and of course there is always our own GP's.

For me personally I am no more nervous having seen the news last night because I cant find anything anywhere that says Dr.Chris has been anything but professional, I have seen or heard no complaints about him or his team. :wink2:
