I am very nervous about this. Especially since reading about Anne Diamond's Belgian op that failed (anyone know who she had hers with) and also as I am having to sacrifice alot to save the money for this.

Anyone got any experience of this surgeon? Is he good/bad?

At 5ft 4in and 16 stone will I be suitable? How long do you think it will take me to reach 11 stone?

Thanks

Anna

Hi Anna

I was operated on by Chris back in May '08 and couldnt recommend him more highly. Very skilled and very professional surgeon, hospital in Vilvoorde is great (if that's where you are getting it done)

You cant predict how long it will take you to lose weight, depends primarily on how much you have to lose initially. Just remember it's a tool, not a magic cure I've had good weight loss which has been a combination of good food choices and exercise - but the band wont stop you putting chocolate in your mouth - that bit is up to you !

Feel free to PM me if you like
