Freckles

Its a while since i posted my story, and now I have decided the only way out is to pay again.:thumbup: I am looking at going to Belgium with Dr Chris Debryune..in February if possible.

This must be the longest running thread on earth :thumbup: and I am so glad. I too am probably going with Dr Chris hopefully some time in February, so will be able to look back at all the excellent information provided by you girls here. A big thank you to you all :thumbup:

Thank you Camjay for your reply. I'm so glad your friend is having her port replaced, at least the NHS are taking responsibility, not like the private surgeons. I think you would be wise to check your contract, I was foolish and ignorant not to have checked this at the time. If I had known all of this could occur, then I may have thought twice before shelling out my hard-earned savings. I have a private healthcare but they do not cover cosmetic surgery. I really think its about time everyone got up to speed and started changing their rules for obesity surgery. As usual the UK is in the dark and the last to comply. I am awaiting a phone call from a doctor from my healthcare who may give me some advice as to where I should go from here. I dont want to 'sue' anyone or go through the courts, but if I have to then I will.:thumbup: EDIT: The doctor from my healthcare has avised me (as everyone has done) to seek legal advice. I have also phoned my surgeon's secretary and asked her for all my notes and she is also going to ask him for the confirmation that the manufacturer will supply a new band. Once i have all of this i can go ahead and seek the lagal advice.

This is my first post, I think I was just reading posts before:smile: Anyway, pleased to meet you all, I am in the UK btw. I have a tale of woe to tell, so hope i dont bore you.

Hi girls, thank you so much for the nice welcome. I have told my story in te Uk banders section, any advice/comments gratefully recieved. Good luck Barbiek for tomorrow, everything will be fine I have to go to bed now as its 2:30 am here in the UK Goodnight, speak soon
