    by the way.. found a website..urgencies and emergencies for obesity surgery..might be worth taking a look at.. also, travel insurance.. surgery itself not insured, but policy covers all other aspects of holiday insurance policy.. name, linda briggs, insurance for cosmetic surgery.. single person policy costs £22

    I think given the choice we'd all opt for a uk banding..however, due to obstacles as discussed, most of us have no option but to either abandon the idea or look abroad for assistance..the latter, thankfully, is affordable, and is most cases reliable..

    I think its other peoples input that caused me concern.. like any surgery considered 'cosmetic'.. people have an opinion, most often not very constructive in nature...it reminds me of all the hype that surrounded breast implantations when they became popular..

    I asked Frederik about insurance cover for this type of thing.. he said, I didnt need any special holiday insurance.. on further research, it would appear that there is no cover that can be purchased for cosmetic travel insurance..your ordinary travel insurance doesnt cover it either.. maybe someone else has found a policy but I have been unsuccessful.. vanessa

    I agree.... I'd like to lose about 2lb per week.. maybe 3 to start... actually, anything would make me happy.. I was initially considering a gastric balloon, but after great consideration , I decided the band was a better option..boought a book via amazon.. laparoscopic adjustable gastric band... seems quite comprehensive.. will let u know if its a good read..
