Hi Molly,

Sorry not to reply earlier. I cannot comment on the balloon as I do not know anything about it. I was banded on 25th January but I have not had my first fill yet, that comes on 9th March. My operation went well and I just had some discomfort for a few days afterwards but I am fine now. I am looking forward to my first fill soon. My scars are small and are healing well. They will fade in time and i would rather have small scars than one large one. There is only you can decide what is best for you. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Snow princess, you are doing really well, keep it up and well done!

good that you've done it!

hope your 1st fill was fine

and how is your weight loss!

better you go to the gym to loss more and firm your body:thumbup:

Hello,

I am new to this forum, and will be new to Abu Dhabi when I complete our move in Aug. I am looking forward to linking up with other lap band ladies, and to find a good dr./ clinic where I can go for future fills.

Had my lap band done in 07 and am very happy.

Cheers!

Hey Mommacb, welcome to this form and welcome to UAE:)...i must say this is a very quiet thread..i dont reside in Abu Dhabi but will try and find out information for u soon regarding fills in Abu Dhabi...i live in Dubai(well my family does and i was born and raised here soo know most of Dubai and around) in Dubai there is Emirates Hospital where Dr Chris De Bruyne is the surgeon, he is from belgium and comes to dubai only for lapband surgeries once a month and his team( Dr Roger Batrouni) takes care of the after care of the patient...i know for fact they do fills for patients who have not done surgery with them but price m not definate abt (500-600 per fill) for their patients its 250-300 per fill after 3 months....but there are other hospitals that do surgeries here as well but m not sure abt the fills...belhoul hospital and american hospital..

I hope i was of some help..

Hello mommacb, try alnoor Hospital in Abu dhabi for your fills. i am from Abudhabi but i had my surgery in emirates hospital and planning to have the fills there too. But I’ve heard in Abu dhabi there is a doctor, he’s name is (Abdulsalam) ~I think and he is good at gastric surgeries and filling.:confused:
