Hi all
Was just wondering if anyone had got funding for gastric banding in Wales. Have been to my GP today and he has prescribed Xenical, I did ask about WLS but he didnt seem too keen. I am hoping the Xenical helps as I am losing hope that I can do this on my own.
I have checked out the fees for private surgery and £7500 seems to be average. At the mo this is not possible but I am considering it if the Xenical doesnt help.
Any info welcome. I would consider going abroad for the op if I could get a recommendation from someone.
I am just feeling so desperate at the mo I will consider anything - sorry for the doom and gloom - will be better tomorrow!
