    Hello, I have booked my surgery through the French Cosmetic surgery company ( Tullie Law) and I hope to have my surgery in sept. I am currently waiting for a date. The costs include: Consultant Fees Surgeouns Fees Anaesthetist Fess Hospital Fees where you stay for 24 hours Various test - Cardiology- blood test, xrays and first refill. Second refills cost Approx £90.00 Euros 100 and the surgeon travels to some overseas clinics to do these.

    Keeping it a secret?

    Hi Greg, Katy here from London, England here. When did you have your surgery and what has been your experience? I did think about Mexico, but in the end I chose Brussels, Belgium as it was nearer and cheaper for me. Told the nurse at my doctors this morning that I was having the surgery and she nearly fell off the chair in shock and tried to talk me out of it for about 15 minutes. It is such a tabboo subject over here in the UK and I really do think that U.S doctors sound less judgemental.

    Keeping it a secret?

    Hi Girl's, I should hear next week when I am booked in for my surgery. I have only told my mum, husband and best friend. My BMI is 36 and many people would be shocked if they knew that I was having surgery. It is far less excepted here in the UK. It makes me mad that if you want to give up smoking our government ploughs in loads of money to help, but when I went to my doctors he offered no support and just advised me to go to weight watchers. I can't wait for my suregery :redface: and love reading everything about it. The more knowledge I am about it, the more prepared I will be. Katy (London)
