Hi - I've just posted this on the news bit of the forum. Doh! Anyway, I'll just cut and paste it -


Hello everyone! I'm seriously considering a gastric band, so this seems the ideal place to get other people's opinions. I've got about 5 stone to lose, but after three decades of dieting... etc, etc........ I can't stand being this weight any more. I don't like to go out or buy clothes for myself. What's the point. Having read some of the posts though, it seems that you have to be a certain weight to go through surgery. I realise that I would never get it on the NHS, but is this true of private companies? Any feedback would be wonderful please!
