    The Old Sow reacted to debbie1705 in Banded on 5th June with Hosptial Group @ Bromsgrove   
    Hi i am new on here, and so glad i found this site, its brillant for advice etc.
    I had my band fitted 3 days ago with the Hospital group @ Bromsgrove Hospital Surgeon was Martin Richardson.
    I am ok actually yesterday i had pain in my left shoulder, but today it has somewhat eased. I have read all the negative comments about the hospital group on here and they did actually make me think "WHAT HAVE I DONE" but i must say i found them not too bad. I do see what people say about personnel care because it is like a bit of a production line, and the only negative i do have to say is i dont like they way they prepare you for surgery. You have to actually walk into the theatre before they put you to sleep...! (That i think could really freak some people out) but the nurses etc afterwards was fantastic and there is a nurse in particular called Elaine Downey that really did know her stuff...
    Having say that i have not got a clue about how i go about getting my first fill etc and hopefully speak to the Hospital Group on Monday for information. (Maybe i might think differently after that phone call). I did only go for the £4950 package as thought that for an extra 2 and half grand the support afterwards was just not worth it. I was quite happy to pay for fills etc afterwards.
    Has anyone else got any experiences with the surgeon, or bromsgrove hospital or maybe you were in the same day as me and we just didnt manage to swap numbers....
    Hope you here from all you fellow bandsters out there...XXXXX
