Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris

Just another quick note.

I was at my daughters until 6pm tonight, then called in Asda for a few bits and when we got home my Mum was laying on the floor in the living room in the dark.

She had fallen trying to answer the phone.

I just dialled 999 and went to the hospital and it seems she has broken her hip.

They are keeping her in for 7 - 10 days.

Poor thing.

Dear God does it ever stop, I've only just got back from the hospital and am ready to drop.

Hi Gillian so glad your back to give me my daily dose of the giggles, I did miss it so.

My news is that I had my stitches taken out today, apparently not everyone has a blue stitch it sometimes get removed when the drain comes out, someone on here, maybe it was wishfull, said they could'nt find theirs, so we now know why.

My first fill had been booked with Chris Deprez pronounced DUPRAY (and yes I will be there- hands together eyes closed) on the 27th March, in Newport South Wales, so I've got ages before my first fill.

Can I ask a very unusual question - if there is titanium in the bands will we be able to get cremated. I know its a stange question, and I hope to live for a very long time I just wondered if its occured to anyone else, or if anyone has asked the question and got an answer.

Hey MMM

How you doing, did your nurse take out the clesr ones as well, i have 5 clear and one blue. I am feeling good and being a good boy eating a sloppy diet however i still have that large orange/small melon swelling under my skin around port and other 4 incisions, not worrying too much as its i feel fine, i guess its just op swelling as they told me, think i will give it another week and if its not went down i will go back to GP. I have my first fill booked for 19th March. I done feely any restriction but i am eating sloppy however maybe 15 mins after i have had say my dinner which is prob the largest meal of the day i eventually get the slight chest pain, no doubt that has something to do with it, but it is delayed. Hey ho we are living and learing.

Take it easy.

Well thats me going for my third fill tomorrow with wendy at wls and it cant come soon enough.It was my sons 13th birthday today and i have stuffed myself.We also had a party for him on sat were we had a buffy and loads of alcohol so i was not very good then.Today i took him for a mcdonalds for lunch and had one my self then my mum took us all out tonight for a chinese .So im sitting here disgusted with myself i realy hope i get some restriction after tomorrow as i feel as im eating as much as i used to before i got the band when i have a blow out.Most of the time i can eat small portions which does not bother me but lately it has been hard so roll on tomorrow.

Hi there, I also live in glasgow and heard about WLS fills and I seems to be cheaper if you have the 6 month package and use it. Can you give me any more details, how often can you go and is it set dates.

Thanks

Poor you as well, just when you have everything sorted for her to go into a care home for a short time during you op, you must be stressed out of your mind.

No doubt she'll be well looked after, but that wont stop you worrying, I'm sure, and you'll only be away from home for a short time and you can be up and about within a day or two and be back to visit her.

It might be a comfort to you to know that others care about your prediciment, and wish you all the best for the coming op and to wish your mum a speeding get well. xxxmmmxxx

Hi garry yes wendy from wls is realy nice and explains alot to you .I tried twice to get my fills with dr chris in edinburgh once after my op in oct and was told i would need to wait till dec as there was no appointments for nov left and when i had my first fill with him in dec i tried to book for jan only to be told there was no appointments left and i would have to wait till feb.So for me that was the final staw.Flirtylass had told me about wls group and i booked up with them.It is also easyier for traveling as it is only 15 min drive instead of 1 hour going to edinburgh.The package gives you peace of mind to know once you have paid you know you will get the restriction inside the six months.The lady michelle that runs wls group is realy freindly and she will make sure you get booked in for a fill which are once a month at the nuffield next to great western road.And yes they are set dates.Any other questions just ask.

(and you are very young!) x

Hi Gary, the nurse took out the blue drain stitch and trimmed the dangly bits of the disolving cat gut ones, did'nt feel any of it, on the actual cuts I have some pinkness at each end, and lovely yellow and brown bruising marks inbetween, but the really wier thing is - if I put my fingers each side of the port cut I can easily feel the port, Its right on top, I expected it to be right under the skins by at least a few cm's, and if I look in the mirror I can see it outlined through my skin, its really wierd.

I have no feeling whatsoever when I eat, and I can eat anything there is no sensation or discomfort even with the items the other girls have found uncomfortable such as bread and potatoes, in fact last night I ate fresh garlic bread with toasted cheese, in the same quantity that I would have before the op, so I am just concentrating on not putting on weight until I have a band fil on the 27th March, It seems such a long time away.

On a brighter note all the post operation swelling has gone down and I can wear all my clothes again without looking like Uncle Fester (which is what I felt I looked like after the op).

Take care keep up the good work now that your returning to work.

xxxmmmxxx

wishfull, glad you have tested the pancake for me, ill be having one little one tonight!, hope its slips through ok!..dont worry about your meal, just eat a bit of what you know is ok and goes down well off each plate, hopefully youll have plenty of time in between courses for it to go down, push some onto daves plate and i bet no one even notices..i know your not to drink for 15 mins after meals, but make sure you have some still drink available if you feel owt getting stuck to help it down. summat got stuck when i went for chinese, and i ended up grabbing davids lager (much to his disgust!) and although it helped it down, i then got trapped wind hurting me cos of the fizz!..enjoy your circus tonight,hope dave has a great birthday x

Hi gillian thanks for that.Well thats me back and i got 1.25ml in this time thats me got 7.75ml in a 9-11ml band so hopefully in a few days time i will have some restriction.Thats good that you can get it done fortnightly if you want. If it was me i would be going fortnightly untill i had restriction.I am apprehensive every time i go for a fill but realy there is nothing to worry about.My first time i went for my fill with wendy she could not find my port lying down so i had to stand up .She then found it straight away and asked me if i wanted to have a look to see how much was in it .But when i looked down and seen the needle sticking out my belly i nearly fainted the colour totaly drained out of me.lol.This time i got it lying down i was on the table and off agiain inside a minute.She said right thats you i did not even feel the needle going in.I did not even need a plaster as there was no blood at all.All in all it was a bad month for me and i only lost 2lb but she said i have lost body fat and gained muscle.So i will just have to get my head down and do better this month.

Hey bobobaldy, 2lbs off is better than putting it on, especially if you have been indulging yourself lately so don't be so hard on yourself, you have still done well. Bigsister x
