Hi
I had my surgery in 02 with Mr Kerrigan at Walton hospital, it was funded by Sefton Council, I waited 2 years from being referred by GP to date of surgery, today I have lost 10 stone, kept the weight off and still have the band in, Mr Kerrigan has now retired but Mr McAdam has taken his place, its worth the wait in my opinion unless you get a loan, happy to answer any more questions as kept the weight off since 04 and lost 129% o my excess weight
good luck sweetie
