I had my band fitted at Dolan Park two weeks ago, and the service I have received from my initial enquiry to date has been great. Good luck with whatever you decide to do from here ....

had my consultation on 25 may and op on 16 july. I could have had it done sooner but that weekend suited me due to having some time booked off work plus my husband (who works overseas a lot) was around to look after me. When do you have your consultation

Hi joey80, welcome to the WLS. I had a band fitted 22 days ago and I wished it had been 22 years ago. It has been the best thing I have ever done. Remember the band is just another tool, it cannot stop you from putting food in your moulth.
I have found that the band inconjunction with a food diary, to track calories and exercise, it is just as important in helpingme reach my goals. As you know weight loss is more of a mental battle rather than a physical one, you need to have the right tools, the right diet for you and a support team to not just cheer you on but to pick you up when you are down as well.
This site is great for supporting you on your journey.
