HI EVERY ONE
PLEASE COULD ANYONE GIVE ME ADVICE
first post on this site
feeling realy desperate in need of help
had lap band in august 2005 start weight 25stone 7lbs had it done as private NHS patient MR SUPER birmingham had first fill of 5mls to SAGB cost £265 pound and had ok weight loss. went for second fill and it cost £265 but only got .5ml . This was may 06.Between may and october had lots of vomitting and PB .in october last year went to ireland for half term and while there band completly obstructed. i tryed to drink but nothing would go down ended up on a drip and having to be flown back from ireland to have emergency unfill costing £265 .MY weight was by now 18 stone 15 momths post band.
after 8 weeks doctor did refill only putting 4mls this was november it cost another £265 . then in january same thing happened and they took all the fill out again .I have now got an empty band and my weight has gone back to 20 stone .doctor said will do refill maybe 2mls at a time each will cost £265 .
MR super just puts xray forms at bupa hospital you dont see him
my problem is the money i keep paying for fills and unfill and refill again,
i have no doctor as i self paided and my pct will not fund after care
i feel gutted and out of control with my eating i had to buy new clothes today as nothing fits it feels like the old hatefull days of worry
if i pay for more fill am i wasting money
