private hospital? lapband



Recommended Posts

hi all - am seriously thinking of getting a lapband. i feel disgusted with myself and need some good incentive.

i was wondering, does anyone know of a good private hospital in the UK where i can get this lapband done? i prefer paying a tad more and getting good service rather than getting it down at some crappy hospital. i would appreciate your help

thanks a lot, jen

Depends on where you live, I had Dr Toh in Portsmouth, I had very good service and he was recommended by my doctor.

Hi, I had my lap band done a week ago through the NOSC and was referred to my local hospital - Gloucester Royal. Everything was great - private room, well looked after etc. The support I get from the NOSC is brilliant. A phone call each day with advice and support from them and I can ring at anytime (24 hours) if I need to speak to a doctor for an emergency. I had to do this as I ended up with a localised infection in my arm due to the canular. This is apparently most unusual - I was just one of the unlucky ones.

Hope this helps.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
