Hi from Croydon

[Karen_Ponte]

Hello everyone!

I'm booked in for my consultation on 19 Jan with Healthier Weight. If I go ahead, the surgeon will be Prof Franco Fabretti. Have any of you had your bands done with him?

I'm nervous as I *only* have a BMI of 31 but the lady on the phone has said I am eligible. My weight is up and down and I think a band is my only hope now.

Anyway, hello

Oh fab. I'm only down the road. I'm trying to arrange a meet up in Wallington if you fancy coming along. Just an informal one for anyone who fancies a chat.
