Hi Laila I live in Scotland and went to Belgium for my surgery. I researched it for a year first and found that going abroad was not only the cheapest option but more importantly the safest. The hospitals have a 0% MRSA rate and they are very thorough. I know a few people that have posted on here haven't actually had the surgery yet but I was banded in May by Dr Chris De Bruyne in Brussels. The surgery itself went very well but I must admit I'm not too happy with the weight loss so far. However Im going for my 2nd fill this Friday so I'm hoping I will have some restriction then. Sorry i can't be more help regarding surgery in London but you could try weight loss surgery group, the Harley medical group or transform. Good luck

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
