I had my surgery with the Hospital Group, and Shaw Somers fitted my band. I can honestly say that he is a truely wonderful man and the surgery was a breeze. The aftercare you recieve from the Hosptial Group is worth every penny.

I have regular consulations with a dietician, I have a 24 hour emergency phone number if I need it. I have on 2 occasions, and both were dealt with instantly by a proffesional,caring, understanding nurse. Please be aware that on both occaions I had to call because I had done something really REALLY stupid and I needed reasurrance and advice.

You seriously need to consider if this is what you want to do. I spent a long time researching and talking to people before i made a decision. But as soon as I met Mr Somers I knew he would help me.

I can say with my hand on my heart it was the right choice for me, and all at the Hospital Group have been fabulous.

If you have any further concerns, and are unsure about using the forum please feel free to email me. d_wuss@ntlworld.com

Best Wishes and I'll be thinking of you
