bobobaldy 0 Posted September 10, 2008 Hi just thought i would say hello from scotland.Just got my date in for my surgery in belgium with Dr chris de bruyne 11/11/08.After waiting for 2 years on a waiting list on the nhs i went back to see the surgen that would be doing my op and he told me to come back and see him in a year as there was no funding.So after doing alot of reserch on going private i found that Dr chris de bruyne does the surgery in belgium for £3200.So that was that a trip to the bank manager and an email to europe surgery and all booked up .Cant wait,:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gilta 0 Posted September 10, 2008 Good luck on your surgery. One of my "goal" trips is a trip to Scotland. We have hosted a single malt scotch tasting at our home in the US (New York State) for 8 years now. It has always been my dream to visit your wonderful country. If you have any suggestions on where to go and what to see, please feel free to send me a private message. I hope the surgery goes well. Gilta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope all go's well and if u want to know anything feel free to ask Ursula Hi ursula thanks for the reply I have got a few questions if thats ok. What hotel did you stay in any was it any good and was it far from the airport and how much was the taxi.? I have to meet dr chris at 8pm the night before the op at his house.Did you have to do this and what happens at the consultation? Is his place far from the hotel and how much did this cost ? I hear you have to stay in belgium for another day after the op.Do you have to go back to the hospital to see him before you fly home? And finaly did you have much to eat the day before the op .Sorry for all the questions but you will know your self your wanting every thing to run smoothly when you get there.Hope your feeling well?

bobobaldy 0 Posted September 10, 2008 Hi thanks for the reply.I think it would be better if i could get the same package as yourself it would save me worring about all the transfers to and from the hospital and hotel.I originaly booked up with europe surgery which booked the op with dr chris .Do you have a direct email address of either frederik or dr chris so i could see if i could get that package.Thanks for the help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flirtylass 0 Posted September 10, 2008 frederik.serneels@ecfs.be he deals with organising the packages as he is dr chris's management he's brilliant u just have to pay €400 deposit so he can pay for hotel and stuff and pay the €3600 when u get to belgium its great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flirtylass 0 Posted September 13, 2008 Hi ah thats great u got the package... What date u getting banded??? Yeah you pay through ur bank i had to fill in a form in the bank with frederiks company name and address and his bank name and address also 2 different codes/account number of his bank (not sure if banks in scotland require so much info) so its a €400 deposit and has to be in frederiks account 2wks before ur surgery it really does save so much hassle... Just ask frederik to send u all of his bank and company info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
