Recommended Posts

Hi I´m looking to get banded in January and I was so happy to find thid forum. I hope I can get some advise and tips from all of you who have done the band or are getting it.

I have been thinking should I get banded or should I go for gastric bypass. But now I think I´ll go with the band.

I would love imput on prices and If you have been to Belgium then I would love to hear of your experience there.

hope to be getting slimmer with you all soon ....

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

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

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
