Hi Everyone.
I am new to this Forum and just wanted to say Hi!
I have struggled with my weight for years, similar to everyone and tried i think every diet option available to me without any long term success.
I went via the GPs route for NHS...but was going to be a very long road in Scotland...currently I have had various weight related ailments that are currently getting worse and felt having to wait that long would only make my issues worse and having saved a little of the funding, with talking with my immediate family have decided to go via self fund route.
When I realized I had the route available I actually went into shock and started crying lol and felt some of the burden was lifting off my shoulders!
I now have the job of trying to decide on a surgeon...and the Gastric Band is my choice, but will discuss with the surgeon.
I thinking of going via Nuffield Health in Glasgow as the price is reasonable and the doctors seem to get a positive review..can anyone share any experiences with Nuffield.
Also....why is there a difference in price depending on what your BMI is? Nuffield doesnt mention this but other facilities do..?
Going the private route...what generally is the timeline for this??
I have read through various posts already and everyone is so helpful and supportive, I hope overtime I can also contribute!
