i will do hun and thanks its been so nice being able to talk to someone who is in the same boat as me, and yeh i know what you mean about being able to walk into a normal shop. i went shopping with my partner yesterday and everything i tried on either didnt fit, couldnt find my size or it felt uncomfortable but i think that was when he realised really how unhappy i am so at least something came out of it. ill let you know what my doctor says tonight xx

well the doctor wasnt as helpful as i was hoping she said she will refer me for the op on the nhs but not until i have tried all the other options other slimming pills, for god sake i have done at least 15 diets that i can name off the top of my head but she wants me to try more slimming pills so she has perscribed me some food surpressants that i have to try for a month and have a check up in 2 weeks coz of my blood presure then if they dont work she wants to try something else (for at least 3 months at a time each one) then if they dont work she will refer me and then i could be waiting at least 2-3 yrs i know she is only being honest but it felt like she was is just brushing me off to get me out, and i asked her about aftercare if i have it abroad and she still never answered me she started to talk about something else but didnt realise till i got out, but they did off me a dietician last year to help with my weight so cant really see there being a problem can you??? oh well ill try these pills and just keep saving xx

Hi i am booked with Dr Dillemans at the jans az hospital on 7th but he charges 4,400 euro direct with him. The euro rate is so bad I am thinking of changing to Dr Chris, does anyone have a contact number or e mail for him direct. I heard he charges 3,400 if you go direct to him

Hi tanya that was bad news from your dr, if you wait that long it will be bwt 4 yrs b4 u av ur op, you av got to do what is right for you, can you wait that long? i have tried all the different diets and pills and yes some do work but you always put the weight back on and more, i think uv got some thinking and talking wiv ur partner and decide what u really want 2 do, gudluck x

Hi I have just found his e mail and sent him a request hopefully he will reply tomorrow, I am hoping to go week 5-9 Jan 09 as I am off work that week. I heard he charges 3400 euro if you book direct which is about the same, I am just really tied with dates and need it that week. The exchange rate is terrible at the moment which pushes up the price. Maybe should ask if he is doing any CREDIT CRUNCH OFFERS!!!:thumbup:

Hi

I think they work together at the same hospital, I have just spoken to Fredrick Dr De Bryunes PA and he said he thinks he is booked up that week, and I have already paid for flights, hotel and car hire booked time off work and my stepdaughter has booked time off also to go with me so I think i will just go with Dr Dillemans, just with the euro rate so bad it is costing me nearly £4000 just for surgery and if I could have changed doctor and got it for £3000 I would have leapt at the chance, also I have just found out that Dr de Bryune comes to Ireland for fills:angry:

[wishfull 1]

Where will you be going for your fills then? if the dr you are going 2 doesnt go 2 ireland 2 do fills maybe they can sort it for dr chris 2 do them for you when he is over, how much have you paid for car hire? if you dont mind me asking x

I have tried all the diets..I have had the dieticians help too on NHS...I thought that was useless...I just got a list of what I should eat and what I shouldnt....I mean..we all know that anyway dont we?!.I felt so daft..like i should have said..AAAHH, so THATS why Im fat?! I shall mend my ways immediatly now you have told me that!.. I have had reductil xenical and the others..they help for a month or so..but you cant stay on em forever..so I lose 2 stone and then stop em and put 2 stone back on plus another one!..Hope they work for you..Im lucky i have saved up money to go..but my friend at works doctor has said same as yours..she has had all the tablets for a year..lost a stone put 3 on etc etc..and is now being told that she cant be reffered for NHS til she has BMI of 50...so what is she doing now??..she is really going for it risking her health to get fat enough..she is already 20 stone and only 5 feet tall..its just not fair is it..its about time NHS saw it as preventative surgery like they do in America..I went into my doctor saying..I AM having this done..and she didnt get a word in edgeways..and luckily she agreed that diet pills etc dont work longterm, and I was fighting losing battle..and she gave me her blessing...Good luck with the tablets, and hope you get some better support from your doctor next time..Gillian x
