Great news 102, I wish you lots of luck.
Just wanted to say though that most of the surgeons who work in private clinics also work in the NHS theatres so 9 times out of 10 you are getting the same surgeon whether you pay or not.

Hiya
I paid privately to have the band fitted, and got the OK in January to have my fills done on the NHS. I figured I saved them the cost of the operation, that it was worth asking as they do the fills at the nhs hospital I am under. I asked, and I was approved. I was really lucky because I know that it is rare to have the NHS approve the fills when they havent done the surgery in the first place.

It is great that the NHS agreed to do my fills ---- but if my band fails, I wont have a leg to stand on, so I will have to hope that it never does, as I dont think I could shell out that kind of money again to have a replacement band put in.:wave_cry: and as the NHS didnt put it in in the first place they are not responsible for it.
