I am also in the uk and have arranged for my 1st consultation with a doctor from the elyzea clinic. His name is Dr Mignon. It takes place on august 4th.

I too have found it difficult getting the finances together. However out of the blue the opportunity arose for me to take redundancy. After much soul searching (You know feeling guilty about spending so much money on myself) i have decided to go ahead with the banding. Once I had made that decision, everything else has fallen into place, as I have been offered another job.

I just hope everything goes well with consultation, and I can have procedure done before starting in my new post.

Meanwhile I hope everything works out for you.

I am more that happy to inform you of my experiences with elyzea if you like.

P.S. I am new to this site, so if I am going over old ground please forgive me.

As before, Shaw is brilliant, a straight talking brilliant surgeon, the best

I had my op last month with him every thing going well, after care brilliant, i had a concern telephoned Bupa and they gave me an appointment that evening with Shaw, service or what? turned out my concern was nothing.

I did consider Belgium due to the cost but am so glad I did,nt as the overall cost of op then of traveling to London for costly fills would work out the same and I have piece of mind that my surgeon is just 10 mins up the road.

      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.
