I am also in the uk and have arranged for my 1st consultation with a doctor from the elyzea clinic. His name is Dr Mignon. It takes place on august 4th. I too have found it difficult getting the finances together. However out of the blue the opportunity arose for me to take redundancy. After much soul searching (You know feeling guilty about spending so much money on myself) i have decided to go ahead with the banding. Once I had made that decision, everything else has fallen into place, as I have been offered another job. I just hope everything goes well with consultation, and I can have procedure done before starting in my new post. Meanwhile I hope everything works out for you. I am more that happy to inform you of my experiences with elyzea if you like. P.S. I am new to this site, so if I am going over old ground please forgive me. Steph H.:nervous

My name is Steph. I am married with 2 young children. Since the birth of my son 6 years ago I have put on a huge amount of weight (6 stone). I have been overweight for most of my life and have been on countless diets all to no avail. I am now at the stage where I feel my only option is to have surgery. I am seriously considering having a lapband fitted. I live in the uk, but due to high prices at home, I am considering travelling to belgium for the procedure. Can anyone advise on a surgeon? I would be grateful for any advice/support.
