Hi Laila I live in Scotland and went to Belgium for my surgery. I researched it for a year first and found that going abroad was not only the cheapest option but more importantly the safest. The hospitals have a 0% MRSA rate and they are very thorough. I know a few people that have posted on here haven't actually had the surgery yet but I was banded in May by Dr Chris De Bruyne in Brussels. The surgery itself went very well but I must admit I'm not too happy with the weight loss so far. However Im going for my 2nd fill this Friday so I'm hoping I will have some restriction then. Sorry i can't be more help regarding surgery in London but you could try weight loss surgery group, the Harley medical group or transform. Good luck

      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.
