Lap Banding In Belgium



Recommended Posts

Hello All!

I am seriouslly contemplating having the surgery in Belgium, and wondered if anyone else had any experience of going there for it?

Also is there any known issues with UK doctors performing the fills and post-op care once one returns home.

Does anyone know anything about the "french band" lowate AB produce also?

I'm currently 223lbs and would love this to be the tool to help me lose the weight I so badly need to.

Hope you are all having a good sunday.

Which french band are you referring to the french mid-band or the french heliogast band? I had the mid-band and would highly recommend it and I am considering getting another one over the Inamed. I hear great things about the Heliogast too. I saw the great deal in Belgium online and if the eurodollar wasn't doing better than the American, and the travel expenses weren't so much more than traveling 3 states down to Mexico I'd be considering it. I loved Dr. Frering in Lyon, France not a cheap as Belgium I think 6,400 eurodollars or somewhere close to that. Let me know which band you are talking about and I might be able to give info.

Best of luck

Hey there,

I don't know much about Belgium, but I'm thinking about going to a doctor in France. Called Dr. Anfroy. You might want to try www.euroband.org for some more info on doctors in Europe. I have heard good things from people who went to Belgium as well as France. PM me and I can give you some more info.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
