Hi,

my wife is going to belgium in a couple of weeks to have lap band fitted.

My question is that we do not seem to be able to find a list of fill providers near to Coventry, UK for when she gets back?

Anyone able to help?

Stephen

I live in Wolverhampton and I had my op done in Bromsgrove (Dolan Park). I also go there for my fills. If she can't find fill providers in Coventry there is lots of providers around Birmingham and in Leamington Spa

Hi Leamington Spa would be ideal, or birmingham. Do you have any names so I can contact them please

thank you very much

It's actually Droitwich Spa not Leamington Spa, sorry, my mistake. I don't know if it's nearer to you than Birmingham. Their website is www.bmihealthcare.co.uk. The one I go to (Dolan Park, Worcestershire) is www.wiseaftercare.org. In Birmingham checkout www.wlsgroup.co.uk. The wlsgroup have some good packages they are offering at the mo. Hope this helps.

Hi

thanks for the info. The WLS group in birmingham are the closest. I called them and they are offering 12 months unlimited fills for £700. Does that sound good?

She is having the operation next week in Belgium. How soon after the operation does she need to have a fill do you know?

thanks

Stephen

It depends on what her surgeon says . I had my first fill at abt 7wks. I have been paying for my fills as and when I needed them. It's not very easy to say whether £700 for 1yr is ok or not coz it depends on how many fills she will need. For some pple it takes just 1 fill to get good restriction yet for some it can take more than 6. So it's really hard for me to say
