Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris



Recommended Posts

Hi - wish I'd known about the 'package' - if it was offered to me before I booked, I must have missed it. Anyway, a couple of questions: Does the Doc send you home with any pain relief meds - if not, what is recommended, something soluable in Water like Solpadine? Also, what about multi-vitamins? Has anyone found a good liquid Vitamin? Thanks

Hey Homecare, it's me who has the 6 month package, i've got an ECFS fill on the 11th Jun then am going over to WLS 6 month package on the 23 Jun. It was Coleen who booked it for me and i've paid a deposit so don't know why you got given duff info! x

Hi Teebird I phoned her back and she says it is now new company policy not to offer new bandsters the 6 month deal. as of the 2nd of June, however she is going to ask her superior if I can get it since I am only couple of days out. J:crying:

Hi homecare the number is 0800 7879 029.It should be coleen that answers just tell her you want the package to start a month too six weeks after your op.

I phoned Coleen again and she says it is now new company policy not to offer new bandsters the 6 month package but she will do her best and ask her boss if I can have it. Thanks for all you help Bobo. J x:rolleyes2:

Hi high anxiety the hospital give you soluble painkillers to take home with you also anti sickness tablets, i tried the painkillers in apple juice and water but couldnt drink them, they were disgusting so i just stuck to the nurofen melts which i though worked really well.. i only needed painkillers for a couple of days x

I might cancel my 6 month package for this reason: I've just received the paperwork from WLS and it seems all a bit expensive when i may not need it. Am i right in thinking that the initial assessment of £120 with WLS is not included in the 6 month package of £349? That's the way i read the paperwork today. Can anyone shed any light please. It all seems like a lot of money when i already paying for the first fill with Frederick, second fill with initial assessment and then if i only need 3 fills, i've only got one fill out of that £349 package!

Does anyone have any advice for me? Do you think i should cancel and do them every 2 weeks paying as i go along?

Thanks, T x

Are you sure its £120 for initial assessment. When I spoke to Coleen today she said if I opted to have fills only it would be £120 for first fill and then £85 thereafter but they are not too keen on giving new bandsters this service? I was definately under the impression the £350 was all inclusive you must find out and let us all know. J x:eek:

No t bird you do not have to pay an extra £120 .The £120 is if you are doing indavigal fills you would get the assessment and a fill then after that you would pay £85 each fill after that.All you have to pay for the package is£349.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
