I inquired about having a band done in Belgium, luckily my mum saw the news and it was the same surgeon i was going to see, there was problems with the aftercare with the surgeon not being in this country to do the fill etc.
I would make sure you check the surgeon out and ask your gp about the services they offer before i signed anything.
Good luck on your journey, would be interested to know how you get on.
I was most fortunate to have my surgery here in the end i had the bypass am now 5 weeks post op.
