Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris



Recommended Posts

Hi Patty !

I found it easier to go into the bank with all the details and the girl did it for me no problems, i took approx 5 days for it to reach them under normal circumstances, with some checking along the way as the banks do, and to ensure you are not funding terrorist irganisations either, which was a serious issue but a funny one to me at the time. If you can use the co-op bank they only charged me £8 fee!

Anyway good luck and think of me on Tuesday 09/03 when I am having my band fitted by Dr Chris, I cant wait.....:smile2: Paul

Hi Paul hope everything will be ok for you in that new stage of your life.. So do you know normaly how long the time a person will need to wait to have a surgery with Dr Chris?And you have done some blood tests or any other kind of tests to show the doctor in the day of your surgery/?

take care... Juliana:thumbup:

Hi Paul, thanks for the info.

Very best of luck on Tues now that you are all shaved and ready to go!!!

Did you have to, erm, de fluff below the waist, if you know what I mean? :smile2: I thought I saw this mentioned on the site somewhere a while ago?

Also Paul, I think you booked yours fairly recently too, but once you had the date confirmed, when did Fred come back with any further info re arrangements. I am guessing they are real busy as it is taking a few days to get answers to some questions. I have booked the package so do I assume that the Hotel etc will all be taken care of as a matter of course when the deposit is received?

Have you had a consultation with Dr CDB already or are you having it once you are out there? Sorry for all the questions!

Good luck, will be keeping an eye out for your updates. C X

Paul,

Good luck to you, you are setting off tomorrow right? Everything will be fine I'm sure, all the best to you and anyone else booked in for Tuesday! I look forward to hearing of your experience. x

The shaving thing, men do have to, but I'm pretty sure you won't have to as a woman unless you have any hair on your belly. The lowest cut they make is above your waist line.

July, you don't need any tests before you go, you just need to fill in a medical questionairre. There is no real delay if you have the money ready, just email Dr CDB or Frederick and ask them what dates are available. I booked only 2 weeks before.

With the package, everything is sorted out for you. You just tell Frederick what flight you are due in on and he arranges a taxi to pick you up from the airport and drop you off at the hotel, which is already booked in your name. However, something to be aware of, the sign the guy at the airport holds up is very hard to read. It has the ECFS symbol on it but is only black and white so not easy to recognise and it won't have your name on. (we ended up at the airport for nearly an hour wondering where our ride was!!) I've put the logo below but don't know if I've done it right.

food to take, I only took cup-a-soups and didn't end up even having those, I really wasn't hungry at all. I had a few cups of tea and coffee (take your own cup!) and a couple of yoghurts from the restaurant in the hotel.

Hi honey, Well I only sent the first enquiry email on 25/01, and it was a case of getting the cash together so that was a little delay of maybe 2-3 weeks extra, and now I am booked for 09/03, so really a short time in the whole scale of it.

All tests will be done on the evening of my arrival, but if your worried about it being refused, I was the same but once you complete the medical questionnarie they send, then really its a yes or no then, before you fork out for the trip etc.

It's just struck me as today I have to pack my backpack and make a run to the local train station to start my journey and a new start to a new slimmer me....:biggrin: Excited or what ???

Hi again, Thankfully I dont have to go that low, thanks to my friends input JoJo, relief all round. Yes once the deposit is received it is actually used to pay for the hotel and 4 taxis there and back. The hotel is for 3 nights, as the person accompanying you stays there during the time while ur in hospital too. Fredrick actually forgot to confirm my deposit had arrived until I phoned him to ask, but he did say sorry!

So don't worry all will be taken care of by them. Good luck ok?

Hi there.. was looking your msg and decide to ask you for some help. I am new in this site and i didnt make the operation yet just start look for all the steps now...All very new to me and i dont know anyone who made that before.. the only thing i know is i really need that and cant wait to know the next step for the go to the surgery..So could you please help in that way?? i just saw you will go to your surgery so soon i really all will be good for you over there.. So could you tell me what the steps i need to do?? how you contact the clinic or hospital??have you met the doctor ready? how did you pay for that?? well any kind of information you could give me will really help me a lot.. Take care and have a nice weekend..Juliana

Hi Juliana

You can email the doc direct but probably best to contact his sidekick frederik - frederik.serneels@ecfs.be he will be able to tell you about available dates etc. Also offers a package which includes surgery, hotel and taxis from airport and to and from hospital-hotel - much cheaper than going through a booking agent

Frederik is really helpful and will answer all the questions you have - if you need anything else let me know

Thanks

Kerry

How on earth did I forget to say I have shaved my chest and tummy today ready for my band fitting on Tuesday 09/03, this was from a thread I read on here, thinking the guy was having a laugh, but I emailed Fredrick who said it was a good idea to my suprise. It was either that or a dry razor with a nurse when I got there, ooouuucchhh !

Feels darn cold though and looks weird too lol. Note this chaps for your time will come too! Paul

Hi Paul, you will have left by now but good luck, hope this finds you safe and well for when you get back. You will be back as I am going, I can't wait now, just want to get it over and done with and come out safe and sound at the other end. Even had a dream about the hospital last night, starting to feel a little stressed. Tell us about your experience and how it feels for you when you get back, regards

      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.
