'why go abroad'???

[laura_bubblez 0]

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

[Melisha 0]

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.
