Were u banded by mr cheruvu, what was ur experience like?? Do they offer a support group meeting? I should ask these questions when I've been for my pre-op appointment but i keep forgetting.

Hi. I am going to be banded at the nuffield hospital in newcastle-under-lyme soon. Could you tell me what you were told regarding diet prior to surgery, and what you feel like now you have had it done, what are you able to eat now etc.. Thanks

Hi all, has anyone been banded at the alexandra hospital in cheadle (manchester) through the 'healthier weight' company?:biggrin:

Hi Suzi, Thankyou for replying to my post. I have actually just been looking at the facilities at the hospital in Cheadle before I read my emails and saw that someone had replied to me. Whereabouts do you live, I am in Stoke so Cheadle wouldn't be to far at all from me. I would appreciate your views and experiences of the surgery and the aftercare provided to you my email address is 'j.baggaley@sky.com' if you would prefer to contact me this way. Thanks xxx

Hi my name is Jenny and I live in Stoke-on-Trent. Can anyone give me any advice on having lap band surgery and perhaps approaching my GP on the subject of receiving the treatment on the nhs. I am 28, weigh 15st, 11lbs and am 5'3'' tall. I have been overweight since my early teens and 4 yrs ago I weighed in at 19st but successfully lost 3st but have been struggling to loose anymore despite joining slimming clubs, taking prescribed diet pills and joining the gym. I am now taking anti-depressants and feel like giving up the fight in becoming a healthy weight xxx:sad_smile::biggrin::crying:

:sad_smile:Hi is there anybody from stoke-on-trent waiting or wanting to have a lap band fitted on the nhs, or anyone local got any info. Wot do I do I am depressed, suffer with anxiety my gp is a joke, thinks that I am a joke. MY BMI IS 40.8 xxx:confused::cool::purplebananna:
