Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris

[Carriejess 27]

I had my band with dr Chris 7 years ago I lost eight stone and maintained a 21 Bmi easily for years then a regained four after having a slip and then two children very close together. My lapband no longer works and my symptoms are very common in lapbands. Dr Chris is a great surgeon and in four weeks I will be going back to him to have a revision to sleeve.

In my experience of being involved in lots of forums I would say that lap bands now have a high risk of complications and if I was you I would consider gastric sleeve first off which is a better lifestyle choice as you can eat all foods but in tiny portions but doenst have malabsorption like the bypass. With lapbands many people have difficulty eating Proteins I.e meat and fibrous veggies which is not great if you are trying to maintain a healthy balanced diet.

However I am not a doctor and having a lapband helped me lose half my body weight nearly, meet an amazing handsome husband and have two children after being told I would probably not conceive. I don't regret it but I am looking forward to having a better standard of living with the sleeve.

Feel free to ask me any questions x
