No but Christel from Germany went to Switzerland and I think somebody else from I think the UK went to Belgium. The cost and the wait seem to be so long people go,out of the country.

Wait is short if not wanting the surgery on nhs. 3 weeks or less from consult to surgery for many of us who go private in UK.

I would maybe suggest if doing Medical Tourism anywhere, before committing to the surgery, make sure you have local docs on board who are willing to follow you post-surgery. Many find great packages abroad, but then have difficulties finding doctors willing to get their butts out of slings on the follow-up care. And there will be follow-up care and potential issues with Vitamin levels, etc. down the road. So be sure to solve that problem first!

In the UK. The gp will usually sort out Vitamins. Aslong as the surgeon sends with the paitent the list the require them to take.

Your right your doctor has to be on board.

I told my Dr and she even wrote a letter to say she was oboard for my surgeon. He didn't need it lol.

As it was private.

My doctor gave me a bag of vitamins the week before my surgery and then now i get my vitamins for free on prescription. It's brilliant.

Oh that's so awesome!!! Ok, so what would happen if you would develop some medical issue requiring surgery as a result of the WLS? Can't imagine what that would be, just "what if"? Who would you go to in an emergency?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
