Hi everyone

I would be very interested to know what people have in their lap band packages, as Private paying patients ?

Examples

How many fills do you expect in the package?

Do you have any professional on hand when you have a problem?

Do you have a dietitian to help you?

We have packages that vary so much and I have a package

BUT still do not know what it consists of !

So difficult to tie anyone down with any answers!!

So much so, that, I have become totally demoralized by this!:biggrin:

I would appreciate your input,

Thanks so much.

Hi Keith,

Thank you for the info, you seem to have a really good package I must say!

Especially the bit about any operations in the first year!

Also the dietician bit!

The specialist nurse etc.

Also the hospital bit about help.

Its a really good package.

So important!

Can I ask ?

Are your fills going to be EX RAY ones or ordinary ones?

Because I think fills are quite difficult to get it right.

Mind you at present, I can hardly eat anything at all ,without it feels stuck in my chest!

But maybe I need this to lose the weight?

Was banded in Feb this year and have found it really slow going for me.........!

So I am going to stick with this fill if at all possible!

At least I can drink!

But its though I am bulimic, if the food is stuck I have to bring it up!

Please do not let this put you off though!

As I do need to do this and shall be over the moon if and when the weight comes off.

Maybe this is my sweet spot who knows?

Please keep in touch if you want to maybe we can support each other.

Take care

Mary

Hi Mary - I'm not sure how my fills are done yet. My first fill is mid-September, so I'll post then!
