My BMI is 33.4 so unable to have a bypass and wouldn't be able to get funding (thanks Maphillips for the link) it's a bit of a postcode lottery. Lots of private uk practices won't even do a band for a BMI of less than 35. I'm not at all interested in the balloon, after reading research it doesn't seen that successful and I've tried to read unbiased reports and also looking at people's real life experiences. However I work for the NHS and there is a private hospital next door and they give a 10% discount to NHS staff so gonna find out more soon. Has anyone had the plication done? That's seems an option

I'm also thinking of Belgium as it's much cheaper than here in ireland. I also have a similar BMI.

I would leave any strenuous exercise out for a while but gentle exercise is good. You may get bad shoulders for a while due to trapped air.

Depending on how much u want to lose, have u considered a sleeve?
