  1. Hi, sorry for the delay, I was away for a bit. Dont worry about the money. The doc gives you a receipt (for a bit less than what you pay as he takes his fee off it) and you show this to the hospital the next day to prove you paid. Its the easiest way. I had a boob job there last year and had to do a bank transfer to the hospital and it was a nightmare and cost me ?30 (but the boob job was fab and dead cheap).

    The Doc is very well thought of and travels all over the world operating. He also cares deeply about his patients and goes out of his way - once telling me he could meet me at an airport as we both happened to be passing through on the same day.

    I lost 7 stones in 7 months. Its not a miracle cure - you can still eat choclate so you have to have discipline and must follow the rules. I cant stress that enough. I have recently broken the rules by drinking with my food, drinking fizzy drinks and eating white bread and cakes. I have damaged my pouch and the doc has given me 6 months to turn it around or have a complete defill. Because I have stretched my pouch I can eat more so have put on over a stone.

     

    I lost by walking 5 miles 4 times a week and drinking smoothies made from bananas and weight watchers toffee yoghurt and eating weight watchers meals.

     

    Despite my recent problems I have no regrets as they are self inflicted.

     

    Good luck.
