Hi. My doctor said at 97kg and 5 foot 9in. I am too low BMI for vsg and suggestsa balloon instead. I'm worried a balloon not bea long term solution andI gain weight back when it comes back out. Otherwisei must gain 7 kg to get vsg.

hi, Yes, i have been told i need to have a 35+ BMI also and related issues, however its still not nice being as fat as i am. i really want to lose the weight but they wont let me have surgery . should i increase my weight to let them operate? i am going to pay privately

a gastric balloon is a type of device that is inserted down your throat into your stomach with no cutting or surgery required. it is made of silicone and indigestible and normlly filled with liquid or air. it is designed to stop you from eating as much food like all other WLS however the baloon is removed after 6 months. it is normaly for people who are too obese to have a full WLS procedure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bariatric_surgery#Intragastric_balloon_.28gastric_balloon.29

Hello Everyone, This is my First post. - Greetings I am considering Getting WLS, i will probebly go for a VSG sleeve. It sounds like the best most successful treatment and the reduction of hormones is great too. As this forum is mostly for amercan/Mexican doctors i'm finding it really hard to get a review for a Surgeon in Europe. In the UK a VSG costs £9,000-£15,000 pounds and is not covered by the NHS. - I have discovered a clinic in the Czech Republic called Surgal Clinic but i havent heard any reviews about them so i am hoping some members here can guide me surgalclinic.cz The surgery is in BRNO and does VSG treatments for £4,500. Another option is for me to Fly to San antonio and have surgery with some of the mexican Doctors recommended on this site. Dr Almanaz has mixed reveiws, is there any other surgeons in the same price bracket (Upto $7,000 USD) that are highly recommended? please help me. Thanks. Arun.

Yes thats the one. There are also other placecin Europe too

Hmm, guess no one replied - not a good clinic to go to then? How about cosmetic bliss?

Hi QUeen of Crop.I was looking at your blog and was very interested that you got your WSL in Germany. I live in London, what sort of prices did you pay for your surgery? thanks BTW, you have a fantastic trip traveling the world. i wish it was me
