No but Christel from Germany went to Switzerland and I think somebody else from I think the UK went to Belgium. The cost and the wait seem to be so long people go,out of the country.

Wait is short if not wanting the surgery on nhs. 3 weeks or less from consult to surgery for many of us who go private in UK.

Kayleigh are you having any luck finding your surgeon? See it has been a week,since we have heard from you. Any more gains on your weight loss?

I would maybe suggest if doing Medical Tourism anywhere, before committing to the surgery, make sure you have local docs on board who are willing to follow you post-surgery. Many find great packages abroad, but then have difficulties finding doctors willing to get their butts out of slings on the follow-up care. And there will be follow-up care and potential issues with Vitamin levels, etc. down the road. So be sure to solve that problem first!

In the UK. The gp will usually sort out Vitamins. Aslong as the surgeon sends with the paitent the list the require them to take.

Your right your doctor has to be on board.

I told my Dr and she even wrote a letter to say she was oboard for my surgeon. He didn't need it lol.

As it was private.

My doctor gave me a bag of vitamins the week before my surgery and then now i get my vitamins for free on prescription. It's brilliant.

Oh that's so awesome!!! Ok, so what would happen if you would develop some medical issue requiring surgery as a result of the WLS? Can't imagine what that would be, just "what if"? Who would you go to in an emergency?
