Can't-Weight

Hi All, Im a newbie to the forum although ive been reading the posts has a guest for almost a year now, Ive decided finally to sign up lol too this great forum. A little about me, Im a man in my early 30's been over weight most my life weighing in at around 297lb/22stone? Ive tried so many diets in the past that have never bought me lasting results, so I have been interested in getting a lap band done after reading an article about it in the papers... which lead me to do some research on the topic which in turn lead me here to this forum:cool2:. At the moment im trying to save really hard for the Op has I will be self funding The doctors Just brushed the idea aside for Nhs Funding when I spoke to them:thumbdown:. So Hopefully by the end of july early/Mid August I will get Banded Probally in Europe/Belgium where its a little cheaper. Im fed up of Being Obese and Cant-Weight to get back to being me again! Thanks for now Cant-Weight

Ive been fortunate so far health wise according to recent check ups no blood pressure diabetes etc which is common in my family I dont want to go down that route. thats why I really want to get this done being a new dad also... Ive done a little research on this place (obesitysolutions.co.uk) seems quite good the Op would be in belgium but they also do refills in london too. They have had quite alot of good recommendations, And are quite reasonable on the price £3800. I'll keep in touch with you your an inspiration to me, and not to far from my neck of the woods also lol... just cant wait to get it done!!!!!!!

Glad it went well for you im looking forward to getting there one day soon. let us know how its going..... I find this so encouraging.
