Hello all,
I had my band fitted in Brugge, Belgium in February by Dr. Dillemans.
As most surgeons in the UK do not offer fills to patients who have had fills outside the UK (or by another surgeon) it means that its hard to find a place to get a fill if you live far away from these places.
I have just had an email from the company in Belgium who I chose to book my surgery through, and they have said that ANYONE can arrange a fill through them at London Barnes, and also up and coming centres in Norwich, Leiceste and Belfast if there is enough demand.
So no matter who your surgeon was, or where you had your band done, or even if you want a second opinion if you are not happy with your fill, they will see you.
Obviously if no one knows about it, then there wont be demand, so I thought that I would let you all know about these centres who charge between £75 and £90 per fill. They may be closer to you.
You can get more information about it by emailing them at info@obesitycare.co.uk
Hope it helps! The last time I looked for another place to get a fill, all I could come up with was a private clinic in Winchester for £250 a go!
