hi guys - im new to this site and im from europe --- i cant believe how epensive the banding is to get done for you guys! I paid 8000 euros and that included 2 nights hospital stay and travel to and from airport (as i flew to the UK to get it done from Ireland). I had surgery done on 5th June but not much weight loss as of yet --just had my first fill today so hopefully it will all start to come off soon! good luck to you all!
