HI kATIE.My friend had her band in Belgium 2 years ago. She has lost 6 stone. She went back to the Belgium a few months ago and the same surgeon who banded her, did a tummy tuck. The cost was very little. The tt was excellent. She is now going back on good friday to one of his colleges to have her boobs done.!Mrs D

Hi the surgeon has taken swobs from my stomach when he put the new port in and said that they were ok. But when i had a defill 3 weeks ago the liquid was the yellow that came off. The first time i saw it, I was a bit shocked. Everyone else is clear. The nurse went and got the doc to confirm i was ok. He said I was........ So now have I got it in my stomach or havent I........ So I now have appointment a week tomorrow with surgeon who I feel that needs to fund a new band for me what do u think??????Mrs D
