hey everyone, i have been reading through these posts and i am interested in finding people in wirral and merseyside and liverpool that have had gastric bands fitted on the nhs. I have been to see my doc last week and im currently awaiting some blood tests and a pelvic ultrasound to confirm pcos, the doc has then said she will refer me to for a band on the nhs but i want to know the likelihood of me actually getting one and the realistic waiting times on the nhs. thanks xx:lol:

Hi all, just thought i would start a new thread. I have been researching lap bands on the internet for a week now. I am 23 and i have always suffered with my weight. I have done weight watchers,been sent to some women from the nhs who i had classes with about food and exercise, (I know it all but i just cant put it in to theory), i have tried reductil, xcenicol, none of them have ever made much difference. Im fed up of being the girl with pretty face, oh and big boobs, lol. they are a plus to my size, the only one mind. Anyway after physchin meself up i finally went the doctors today, and she agreed i have to have some tests over me periods being so irregular as in not had one for 5 months and then i have to go back to my doc and she is going to refer me, IM MADE UP. My boyf said yesterday what makes you think you will get one??? So when she agreed to get the ball rolling, i coulda kissed her!! maybe not but im made up. As far as im concerned life can only get better. sorry for so much chatting just wanted to tell some one, anyone !!! natty13 xx:biggrin::eek::mad::tongue::biggrin:

Im from wirral in England and im wondering if anyone has had a lap band fitted over here from the nhs? any stories would be appreciated. any help would. I cant afford to pay for one and my only chance is the nhs. any comments xx:tongue:

I havent been banded i have been the doctors and she wants me to have some blood tests and then she is going to refer for my band, im made up. Dont kno whow long the process takes but hopefully not that long xx
