:biggrin2:Hi I was banded 24th Nov 07 @ Spire Murrayfield Hospital in Edinburgh the consultants that done my op were 1st class Mr Bruce Tulloch and Mr Andrew De Beaux. I would never have went abroad even if it was alot cheaper I feel you need good after care after having gastric band surgery to help you cope with the good and bad days that you have. Since my op I have came down 7stone I have done 2 open days at the hospital regarding weight-loss surgery and I have also recently appeared on the Scotland on Sunday newspaper doing a big article regarding weight-loss surgery. Hopefully Iam hoping to get a support group set up in Edinburgh for people who are thinking about getting the gastic band and folk that have already had it done

Congrats on your weight loss. I agree about home care. But many travel to other places due to the price. But my personal opinion is the cost of traveling, haveing to find a fill center afterwards, complications(possibly) doesn't equal saving money. Plus you don't know for sure about your Dr. or fill center. Of course I know that can happen near your home also, but I would be more comfortable and would have recourse if something did go terribly wrong.
