I am currently considering being banded.As there is only one surgeon in Ireland(not v.reliable either)and it costs 10,000 euro,I am considering prague as there is a direct flight from my city. Has any one any experience of BODY BEAUTIFUL UK who SEEM to be the most comprehensive doing it there. Also can anyone tell me if it is feasible to have your fills at a distance like this or would i be better to go to the UK which is only an hour away?Any suggestions will be gratefully received as i want to get on with this.Thx:)

Hi Penny, can't answer your question but you and I seem to be in the same boat . I didn't know anywhere in Ireland performed surgery til your other post made me google it. I'd considered Belgium or Prague but found Advanced Cosmtic Surgery group with 4 clinics in Ireland. Did you contact them too?

I've given myself til 7th Jan to lose some weight if not will book a consultation, just not sure where lol.

Nice to have another Irish voice!this is a brilliant forum to find out about the whole process of gastric banding. I have done all my research and will go with ACS in Dublin if they can manage to get their act together as its def preferable to have the fills in this country.Where are you living??Have you seen the thread "Hi........ I'm Nikki from Ireland" or something like that?(search it anyway-its where all the Irish hang out and has some interesting stuff on it(only the last few pages are relevant to whats happening in ACS at the moment tho)

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I thought I read in another post that the doctor is no good and is the only one, is that right? I am in Tyrone so the Belfast clinic would be really convenient for me, though I could still travel to Dublin.
