hIYA I'M DEBZ AND IV JUST JOINED THIS SITE,

HAS ANYONE BOOKED THEIR SURGERY WITH WGA, I'M DUE TO BE BANDED ON THE 15TH NOV, AT BROMSGROVE AT THE COST OF £4950.

JUST WONDERED WHAT YOUR EXPERIENCES WHERE LIKE? AND I'M REALLY SCARED THAT LIKE SOO MANY OTHER DIETS THIS WON'T WORK. THE SURGEON ASSURED ME THAT IT WILL AND I AM GOING TO GIVE IT

100%. AS I SEE THIS AS MY LAST CHANCE. I'M 5'6 WITH A BMI OF 47 AND HAVE TO LOSE A STONE BEFORE AND ALSO 7 DAYS BEFORE SURGERY HAVE TO GO ON A MILK DIET TO SHRINK THE LIVER, IM TRYING TO DIET NOW BUT AM FINDING IT EXTREMELY HARD AS I FEEL UNDER SO MUCH PRESSURE. IF I DONT LOSE THE WEIGHT THEY WILL CANCELL THE SURGERY AND I WILL LOSE ALL THE MONEY. ANYONE BEEN THROUGH THE SAME.

THANKS FOR READING, DEBZ.

hi Debz

I'm Joanne and i was banded on the 14th may and i would never turn the clock back i love the band and shes a great best friend always their for you even when you have a few ups and downs , as long has you work with the band its a very good tool to have to help with weight loss and remember that your weight didn't go on over night so don't expect it to come off over night . My mum and 2 aunties and cousin have also had the band done and not one of them regret having the band done .

good luck Debz with your banding journey you will never regret it .

joanne xx

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
