good luck bridie i hope you get the funding i didnt my bmi was 3 points to small had to be 50. in the end i researched and chose to go to belguim i paid 4000 euro and was so happy with the choice the service was first class throughtout. dr had some criticism about banding low bmi but cant knock him as a surgeon im more than happy with my band x
