Had mine with Spire in Wrexham. Andrew Baker. Very happy with care before and after. Staff are great and always happy to give advice. Had few stuck episodes which they were great with phoning me back and putting mind at ease that it will shift eventually which it did. Not an easy option for weight loss you have to work at it.

Your so right that's it's not an easy option. Think a lot of people think your banded, don't eat as much and that's it weight falls off. It is tougher and certainly a life change. But all said and done I'd do it again in a heart beat x

I got a call from the dietician on Wednesday and she asked me how my chat with the nurse went, she was pretty shocked when I told her no one has spoken to me since I left Dolan park, she eas very apologetic and said I should have had a couple of phone chats with a nurse!! So I'm feeling pretty hard done by at the moment and unsure if what to do.... I'm quite easy going and I don't wanna kick up a fuss especially since everything seems to be going ok with me, think ill just keep my mouth shut lol

I'm totally prepared for this journey and the hard work it's going to take, it helps knowing I have you lovely ladies to call upon if I'm struggling

Take care

Gavin from Huddersfield. Banded 5th June. 6foot1. Was originally 28 stone 3 years ago. Lost 6.5 on Atkins diet. Put 1.5 back on in last year so was keen to get this weight increase nipped in the bud. Lost over a stone since 2 weeks before surgery. Losing 2lbs a day since surgery on 5th. NUTS.
