Hello,
I hope you are well after your op and are up to sharing your experience X
I'm new to this forum and i love how everyone is sharing their experiences and preferences. Iam just getting used to navigating around the site. I have joined as i want to research more about the Gastric wrap however as yet i can't find anything on this forum.
I'm a Primary teacher, married with two children inc one Teenager (Argh!!).
I have had surgery before as i had two caesarean sections the second one with a local anaesthetic which i preferred as there is no sickness or side effects and i was up and about the morning after and then home the day after that (with infected stitches).
Only my husband knows about the surgery (not too happy about it) and has been sworn to secrecy as i don't want my kids ever knowing, as i feel healthy eating is the answer to a healthy life style, which both my kids have however in a nut shell this doesn't work for me as i constantly feel hungry.
I have done all the diets the last one being Lighter Life where i lost 4 stone after gaining the 'tools' to succeed, but naturally as with every other diet i put it back on again in 9 months.
Through research I’ve discovered that the wrap is quite new, i have to fund the op myself, need to travel abroad (Prague)and I have to have a general anaesthetic, not local, as you need to be still during the op. After researching the Gastric wrap and the band i feel the wrap is the tool to help me as i don't want anything inside me or want the hassle of any refills etc.
I have been in touch and have received an email back from Prague Beauty (PB) and the fees are £3800 for a full package.
I was wondering however if anyone could help with my other questions.
I would like to know:
1) Has anyone used this company before or can you recommend other companies that they have used and the fees?
2) How soon i can have the op done? (My hubby has hols due at Xmas and could stay home with our 7yr old - if I don't need him with me).
3) Would i be ok on my own or will i need someone with me?
4) Is it worth going to my GP for a full check up to see if i am fit?
5) Has anyone had combined surgery as i was thinking of an upper eye bag op which PB said they would do as a package for an extra £800 or would this be too much health wise, I’m not sure how much pain the Gastric wrap will cause.
Thanks.
not long to wait now woohoo
