Hi Mandy, I did consider quite seriously at one point and looked up as much as I could about it (which wasn't a lot ) but then talked to the consultant but decided that it probably wasn't right for me. I was also a bit concerned, because as it hasn't been around long enough, there are no long term weightloss results available yet and at £13000 that is a heck of a lot of money to pay without some sort of guarantee.

OMG Mandy, I had never heard of this so googled it - wow sounds very futuristic!

I dont remember anyone on here having it done but good luck with whichever option you chose x

if it was reasonably cheap then id have a go! A pacemaker to help would be fab!

It does sound good doesn't it? but has it's own set of drawbacks like flat batteries and wires that come adrift.....those are a few of the problems they have had in the past. I don't know if those things have been rectified.

It needs surgery to install but at least doesn't mean any surgery to the digestive system itself, so is reversible but as the cost is so high, I myself would be devestated if it didn't really work.

Sounds too good to be true lol & unfortunately too expensive I think, will ask when I see the consultant but think it's then band xx

I looked it up on google and went to the website it does sounds good. couldn't afford it myself..i just spend my life dreamng of something to take away my constant cravings for junk food[i am greedy]. sorry.

hmmmmm, "no money back, no guarantees" (as Del Boy would say) early days and even their own advertising blurb does not sound to confident ! But good luck either way x

 

[mandymoo]

I agree not great advertising x

Do you lie in food diaries? because if you don't the sleeve or band is the cheaper way to shrink your stomach. Personally, I would be paranoid if I had 'big brother' in my tummy.
