I am so pleased that we are starting to get names of Dr's from all over the U.K that will do adjustments. This practical information is a must so we can get our fills near our homes, or if we are traveling. Keep them coming. If I was clever enough I would put then on one thread, But i cant even work out how to get a ticker, even after looking on the web site. So I don't see me being able to set it up.

Hi sara Hang in there its only a couple of days untill you start feeling better. I had problems with breathing but i think its because the port is near the lungs but after about 4-5 days it gets easier. try an extra pillow when sleeping

your nearly a saint (what happend on the 2nd)

thanks Debbsi for highlighting a problem for bandsters from other regions trying to get fills. I think there is a lot of jealousy going on with our Dr's about people going abroad for their ops. If they did more at a reasonable rate here maybe they would benefit themselves from more experience in their field. I bet there is not a Doctor in the U.K that has done more than 7,ooo obesity surgery ops by laparoscopic procedures.

Hi thanks annon for your reply I have a Inamed lap band and I live in Cleveland. I will travel to Newcastle Sunderland or Leeds in fact anywhere local to have my adjustments. Hope you can help, I would be so grateful

Hi Mrs D DO YOU ALSO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON FILL DOCTORS IN THIS COUNTRY. iT SEEMS TO BE THAT YOU CAN ONLY USE THE dR OR GROUP WHO DID THE BANDING.

Expect a reply on Monday.Will let you know A.S.A.P

hi Debsie Thanks for your information, I have sent an email to b.u.p.a to see if they do any in the north east. If not it would be easier and nicer for me to travel to Edinburgh.

I am have the same problems I had my opp by Dr Dillmans 23rd March 2007 and thought I could have my fills in Leicester but am now told it is London. I live in the north East of England and am looking for a fill Doctor in this area. Can anybody help

what is pb and sliming

belgium seems a very popular choice does anybody know of other european countries that do the same packages. How was the flying after the l.b.

Thanks to sunshine2 and enterprise01 I will go back to the Dr Dillomans in Belgium and ask him to reconsider my case> I would like the adjustable lap band as opposed to the Mclean surgery. I will keep you posted.

I am wanting to have the lap band and in one of the Doctors lists of contraindications is poeple with reflux. Has anybody been refused the L.P because of this. Please can you get back to me because I have arranged to go over to Belgium for my opp next month

Hi katieo I am having my banding done by Dr Dillmans at the St Jan Hospital in Bruges, Belgium. Hopefully on the 8th March. I will probably go over on the ferry from Hull to Zebbruger. I dont know if I will take the car or get the train to Bruges. Bruges is a lovely place to visit so I may go over for a few days before and have a little break before the opp.

same thing here, but in the north of England Anybody know of local fill Doctors

I am going to have my banding done on the 9th March 2007 at the St jan hospital I live in the north East of England and would like any practical advice. I have not arranged flights or ferries yet any info would be gratefull

I Am thinking of having a lap band fitted in Bruges. I live in England and would like to contact any lap banders who have had there surgery at the St Jan Hospital.
