My name is Steph.
I am married with 2 young children. Since the birth of my son 6 years ago I have put on a huge amount of weight (6 stone). I have been overweight for most of my life and have been on countless diets all to no avail. I am now at the stage where I feel my only option is to have surgery. I am seriously considering having a lapband fitted.
I live in the uk, but due to high prices at home, I am considering travelling to belgium for the procedure. Can anyone advise on a surgeon? I would be grateful for any advice/support.
