Hi there, I live in Buckinghamshire and have not had the band fitted yet, however I have my consultation in London with the Elyzea Clinic on Oct 27th 2006. Hopefully, my surgery date will be really soon. My surgeons name is Dr Mignon and he will perform the surgery in Belgium. Is there anyone else who has been banded through this clinic?

Thanks

Gillian

Hi, my names John, I'm 40 yrs/o from Blackpool. I had the band fitted on Saturday 16th of September 06 at the Alexandra Hospital in Manchester. I was so happy with the whole operation, the staff were Brilliant and the care was second to non.

Hi,

I was banded in sunderland by the same surgeon as sugarplum (we do know each other!!)

I'm getting my first fill on thursday, adn can't wait!! I sometimes get really down reading of people in USA who were banded at the same time as me and have 2 fills and want more, when i've had to wait 10 weeks for my first..

Hi to all of you bandsters in England!!! Sounds like you are all having good results. I live in the U.S. and was just banded on August 17 and went for my first fill today. I felt like I had little restriction and after a conservative fill of 1cc we will see if there is more restriction. Have lost 27 pounds so far before my fill.

We have been doing alot of research on England as our 22 year old son is applying through Idaho State University in Pocatello, where we live, to go to college at Plymouth or UCLAN in Preston. He also put in for Huddersfield?? and Sunderland. He is a Business Management Major(junior/senior status) and plans to go for a full school year and hopes to work while there for a few hours each week. I hear from people that we know that have lived in England that they would love to go back and live there if it weren't so expensive!!! People we talk to said they just loved it in England!

Any one know anything about any of these colleges??? Our son has been planning this trip for almost two year. He is an avid soccer player himself and Manchester United is his favorite team. He had the chance to see them play when they were in Seattle Washington 3 years or so ago. He loves the British way of life, he thinks, so wants to live it !

Keep up the good work all of you in the U.K. !!

Thanks,

Paige

My husband and I will hope to go to visit our son while he is there .
