Has anyone had thier op with this company its part of the hospital group it costs 5k and you have 5 weeks after care and afterthat you have to pay for your fills.....

I am trying to weigh(no pun intendid) up the pros and cons of this or paying the extra 8k and going with someone else or going overseas.......overseas is not ideal as i have a small child who i dont really have someone to look after!

Just looking for advice really i have my consulatation in 2 days and might have my op asap after that

thanks xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:help:

hi i Had my band 2 weeks ago with WGA. i done it with them because of the money and also i have a 1 yr old baby so like you going to belgum etc would be to hard. you actually have your op with "The Hospital Group" a company with alot of bad press!!! i found the whole process very rushed and not very personal but then again i wouldnt of had the money to do it any other way.

Hello I had mine done with Bupa and it cost £5750 which inc 2 free fills. they have been great even when I have been ill I know I can phone the nurse there and they will always give you some advice ect.

That's a great deal! I went to Belgium and at the time it was the best option. I was lucky that I had a sister to look after my son.

But. if BUPA are now offering it for £5000+ with 2 fills it's certainly worth doing. I wouldn't go with the hospital group, far too much bad press.

Hi Laura i;m Liz i was considering going with 'why go abroad' but i got told u have to have op in Birmingham? also where is the aftercare at? i live nr Blackpool. my friend said u see the surgeon in Manchester first is that right? also she said price of £4,950 is without aftercare can u hlp pls. Liz

H i just loke to say how wll u'v done. which company did u us in Belgium i was looking at Prague? thanks Liz.

Hi Lisa how much is the op with wga? are the fills and aftercare inc? thanks Liz

Hi I had my op with wga on 8th Jan o8. price includes 1st fill and 28 days aftercare.

milisha please double check with your co ordinator about the free fill. when i went to get mine they said i wasnt due one and it was a mistake. a lady i was with kicked up a fuss about it and because we had our discharge letter with us we got a fill in clinic. this was only due to the fact that we all made such a fuss.

good luck Lisa x

thanks Lisa

I will kick up a fuss if i have to. Where was your appointment and what did you say to get your fill. My appointment is at BUPA Damson Parkway and my consultant appointment is in London.

hi melisha

i went to birmingham for my post op xray and bromsgrove for my surgery, have my consultation in manchester.
