Hello All. My name is Marie, and I'm from South UK. I was wondering, does one have to get fills with the company that provides the banding- or is filling pretty simple and any filling doctor can fill any band. I ask this because I'd prefer to use a filling doctor closer to where I live, if it is possible, as the nearest one recommended to me is in London (about an 1 to 2 hours away) and as it's in London, it's going to cost £90 per fill. I have seen that in other parts of UK its for £75, but all other filling docs recommended to me are 3+ hours away. If it is possible to be filled by someone outside of the company (I'm going with Surgery Abroad international), then does anyone know of a filling doctor I can get in contact with in South UK, for example Southampton or Portsmouth or West Sussex. Thanks a bunch!

Hi, I just had my lapband fitted in June. I have not yet had a fill, I am having on this friday. At work, I seem to have a problem to being able to eat my lunch in the half hour I'm allocated. Most of the time it's because I'm not hungry yet, and also I find it hard to eating anything fast, or it gets stuck and makes me feel uncomfortable. I have started to nibble my lunch spread over the day at my desk, and most of the time I get away with it. My supervisor is sympathetic with me, but he said that he will need a doctors note to allow me to do this. Has anyone else had a problem like this, and would I get a note from my GP or from the surgeon in belgium? I'm confused :confused: Thanks in advance!!

Hi, My name is Marie, I'm new here I have my banding scheduled on 6th June. I managed to get all the time I'm in belgium off of work, but I couldn't get the day after I come back to England off, which is the 10th June... 4 days after surgery. How soon did everyone else go back to work? Will I be hurting after 4 days? Thanks P.S I really enjoy reading everyones experiences on here!

How long to return to work?
SuperKawaii replied to SuperKawaii's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the advise everyone. I reckon, with mine being a desk job, I should be fine after all- considering all the advise. -
Hey, I'm glad I have found this place, I am new, and I was researching on stories and successes of Lao Band surgery. I have my Surgery booked for the first week of June, with Dr Dillemans in Belgium. I'm real excited, and nervous at the same time. From what I have read on here, Dr Dillemans is a great time, and the experience in Belgium is a good one. Not really entirley sure why I am posting this, but I just wanted to share my joy Is there anyone else on here with surgery booked at a similar time? x

My Dr recommended 2 weeks also But with my work, it's so hard to get time off, because it's in a call centre, and everyone is fighting of the June/July time off. I only managed to get the week of the surgery off. -

Hey, My BMI is 32 and I have been accepted by Dr Dillemans, and from what I've heard, he is a really good well known surgeon.
