Thorunn Hi & welcome to the forum,when in January are you hoping to get banded? im getting banded 21st January, Derby hospital UK, Where are you from ? I have heard its about £3-5000 in Belgium, Im getting mine done through the NHS, have you tried this way? If you are in the UK, I've waited 5 months from day 1 to the surgery date, which is very good in my opinion Let us know what your out come will be..good luck on your journey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thorunnf 0 Posted December 29, 2008 Hi Debbie 7155 No I´m not in the UK but I have been waiting here in Norway for 16 months now and I have been placed in several programs where diet and exersice is the main focus. My problem is that I have a lower back problem that is killing me and all those program I´ve been put in have had to be stopped due to my backproblems. This is a problem that has been with me since childhood but went increasingly back when I started playing soccer at the age of 10. Now I´m tierd of the wait and looking to get mine done in January. so any tips are most welcome Thorunn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
