Any lapband surgery in Ireland?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have struggled and struggled with my weight from childhood and fed up....after years of research and thinking about it I feel a band is for me.

Have not been able to find much info about this being available in Ireland and thought I would ask here.

I am in the North but anywhere in Ireland is fine.

Hi Maro

Where were you going to have it done? Why did you pull out? I was convinced that I was going to die in theatre!!! Ridiculous I know!!! Also, Im not sure that I was ready to give up my crutch - food! Terrible....I am booked for the end of August but we'll see!

Thanks for the name, I emailed them and they are not doing bands at the moment which is a shame.

Will have to keep looking I guess.

Thanks for all the comments.

For those of you who have the surgery in the UK, how much should I expect to pay? Just want a rough idea .

Hi Em,

It's Maro sorry it took so long for me to reply i have been in hospital this weight is causing me such problems. I need to do something. I lost 6 stone on weight watchers before but for what ever reason i can't seem to motivate myself this time.

Hi Siepie

It's Maro thanks for your reply it is so hard for me to make up my mind i am so scared of going asleep. What if something goes wrong, and the way things have been going for me the last few months i would be the unlucky one.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
