Hi all
I have a consult booked for aug 19th. Just wondered if anyone could share their experience of using healthier weight?
Thanks! X
 
Hi JaneyWaneyWoo

I've not done the healthy weight course but a few of us are on the tier 3 weight management course, I don't know if it's the same - whereabouts are you? Are you going nhs or private?
 
Hi,

I haven't an experience with Healthier Weight but just wanted to say welcome and good luck!

Hi janey, afraid i cant help much either, ive gone direct privately. Which procedure are you considering?
 
Sorry I haven't explained properly! I have a consult for a gastric band with a private company called "Healthier Weight". They are based in Birmingham. Thanks for all the welcomes too!
 
Hi. I had my op with healthier weight in January. They've been really good, I've lost 5& half stone so far. My only complaint is that I had to wait 3 weeks for my last fill but its nothing compared to the overall good care & advice they've given me. I'd recommend them highly
 
Wow that's fantastic. The sooner I can get to see them the better - ever since I made the decision to have surgery it's like my eating went completely out of control. And I'm on holiday next week....
Just out of interest did you have prof Favretti? X
 
I had mr super at spire parkway Solihull. I think the surgeon is chosen to suit your needs the best. I've heard of this surgeon, I'm sure someone will be along soon to tell you about him.
 
i am a healthier weight patient and just approaching the two year mark. I've had a lot of band issues, some that have been going on for months and which, as yet, they have not positively resolved. It's been a bit of an ongoing battle at times and while in my first year I felt confident in the after care, I don't personally feel that way when things weren't going great.

As with all providers there will be good, bad and indifferent experiences. I went with them as the surgeon had zero % mortality and that for me was a must have and they were only one of the providers after 7 years of research that could offer me that rate.

Their guidelines are very different to many other providers, they take time over fills and amounts to limit band issues, slippages and difficulties which can happen, but on the other hand this can be frustrating when results often seem to take a while.
 
Thanks for that. I too have chosen them for their safety record... and there seems to be more emphasis on aftercare than other providers.

I'm sorry to hear you've been having problems though and hope they can be resolved! Do you have any regrets?

My surgery will be at spire Solihull, if all goes to plan... Did you see Dr Ashton first? I'm not sure what to expect at the consultation!
 
No I've never met dr Ashton, i was supposed to on my 1st visit but he was busy in X-ray so i saw a nurse instead (& a sales person)
They were a bit more expensive than others but the 2 year aftercare really appealed & the aftercare itself seemed better.
