cheers will do today , you any closer to booking yours ?

i had my op in west brom - near brum - £4900.00 . have a look on wga website . it is part of the hospital group . so it is not that expensive - but this did not include fills - do you have any suggestions of places that i can get my fill done as i am currently looking in to it now . hang in there - you have decided they way you want to go - you now just have to dot the i's and cross the t's . cheers nik

hi - im nik - from kent i had my op on 15 may 08 . i went with why go abroad - which is a lot cheaper than other private places . but there is no aftercare - hence why cheap . i was 18 st - at 37 - which may not seem as that much but it was making my life a misery . i decided to have the band over the bypass and got it on finance . I can honestly say - best thing i have ever done - so far so good . but i am only 2 weeks post op - so i can only tell you so much - but the guys on here can help and support you like you would not beleive - every one is so kind and any question you have they answer. good luck and stay in touch - nik

Hi I know exactly how you feel - i had my band 15/5/08 . and i am constantly hungry also - i thought iwas a failure - thinking that it wasn't working - but looks like we have to wait til our 1st fill mine is not till w/c 23 june - so you are 2 weeks ahead of me - i feel down also - but these replies make me fel a lot more positive - we are not going to wake up slim and have to readdress our brains re eating ect . the only help i have found the more Water i drink the les i feel hungry xx

hi - i am nikki from the uk - i was banded on the 15.5.08 . the gas for me is the worst bit - i did not settle until 21.5.08 - what helped me is MINT TEA - a small cup of warm mint tea really helps . I also feel out of breath - so maybe some one can ans this for me as well - so don't feel alone or scared i am the same . I am drinking more now and it is a week since my banding . but watch the speed you drink and cold drinks don't help my wind . hope this helps - to at least know that some one else is going throu the same x

hi - i saw your thread and i wondered would you would give me some words of wisdom . i have had my banding on 15th may .
