It struck me that I tend to be gullible and that I possibly threw away hard-earned and needed money on a clever scam.
My trepidation continued until my final arrival in Belgium towards the end of March.
I was very pleasantly surprised indeed!!
From the first Tullia had been very understanding about my concerns and called me personally on numerous occassions to touch base-something a fraudster would certainly NOT do after the money was already in their bank account!!
The taxi-drivers went out of their way to accomodate me as did everyone upon my arrival. The hotel was clean, modern and sympathetic and thehospitalwas state of the art.
I am safely back home and am exceedingly grateful for the high level of care before, during and even now in terms of the follow-up care.

My name is Kim and my starting weight prior to getting myGastric Bandfitted was 22.5 stone.
I made the decision after some internet research to go with the FrenchCosmetic Surgerygroup (LazerClinics(France Ltd). Although the cost was very attractive I was still very anxious going abroad for such a procedure.
After making contact with Tullia Law I was given the name of the surgeon and was able to check on his registration with the British Medical Board, I was also given dozens of names of people all over the United Kingdom and Ireland who had been through the procedure and I was able to contact them to discuss my concerns and ask questions.
Tullia provided me with information with regards to the pre arrangements i.e. travel, hotels,hospitaland cost, every thing was easy to read and in English.
However, the big hurdle for me once I decided to go ahead was the money as I was to forward my money ahead of the surgery. I contacted a number of people to discuss this and they reassured me that it was fine and they had initially had the same anxieties. In the end I had to make a personal decision 'is it worth the risk?' I took the plunge and decided to go for it.
I was once again provided with straight forward English instructions and talked through the process with Tullia, once the money was transferred it was a matter of waiting on myhospitalappointment. I was given details of dates and times etc. for my stay at the hospital. Once I arrived as directed, everything was very professional, straight forward and all completed in English.
I have no complaints about the quality of the hospital, doctors, the care I received or the process, in fact it was all to a very high standard. On leaving the hospital I was provided with comprehensive written information in English.
My only regret is I wish I had done it years ago as my weight at present is now 11.5 stone and I feel the best I have done in 20 years.

Gastric band surgery in Belgium can dramatically improve the quality of your life. Gastric banding is also available at our clinics in France and Belgium for residents of Ireland who can save thousands of pounds when compared to UK and Irish Hospitals.
On average Patients lose 70 percent of their excess body weight over a period of two to three years. Gradual weight loss over the ensuing few years after the procedure can bring significant improvements in health.
Lap-band surgery patients who have undergone the surgery can reduce the risk of developing severe health conditions related to morbid obesity, such as hypertension, high cholesterol, heart disease, sleep apnoea, stroke, cancer, type 2 diabetes, acid reflux disease, asthma, and osteoarthritis.Gastric band surgery is one of the most popular procedures at most obesity clinics and carries several advantages over other bariatric techniques. This is because it does not involve any cutting, stapling, or other permanent alterations to the stomach and intestines.http://www.gastric-banding-surgery.co.ukGastric banding patients are quite often very motivated patients, and in the long term weight loss has the added benefit of giving the patients a more active and fulfilled sex life, add to this an increase in self-confidence, increased mobility, less illness and a longer life-expectancy make this type of weight loss very attractive for patients and surgeons alike.
Bariatric surgery does have a few known risks, but these are normally quite rare. One of the main risks as with any surgery is the risk of developing an infection following the adjustable lap band placement according to university of Pittsburgh medical center. Infection symptoms such as fever, inflammation or pain at the surgical site located around the area of the abdomen where the ring is adjusted should be reported to a doctor as soon as possible.
Following surgery you would be required to follow strict diet and fitness guidelines to ensure long-term weight loss. The lap band will make it so that you want to eat less because you feel fuller, but you also have to learn about your attitudes and desires when it comes to food.If you are obese or overweight, are desperate to loss those access pounds, and if nothing else has worked for you before, then you owe it to yourself to find out if gastric band surgery could be the solution you are looking for.We discovered a website which provides lots of useful information about Gastric Band Surgery and includes a handy BMI calculator. Check your BMI to see if you qualify for weight loss surgery.For further 'Free information' and advice on gastric banding surgery and other obesity surgery options visit our resource and information site for Gastric Band surgery costs

The placement of the gastric lap band creates a small pouch at the top of thestomachwhich holds approximately 50mls. This pouch 'fills' with food quickly and the passage of food from the top to the bottom of the stomach is slowed. As the upper part of the stomach believes it is full the message to thebrainis that the stomach is full and this sensation helps the person to eat smaller portions, eat less and therefore lose weight over time.
The the gastric lap band is then inflated and adjusted via a small access port placed just under the skinsubcutaneouslyon the abdomen. A Radio opaqueisotonicsolution orsalinesolution is introduced into the gastric band via the port. A specialized needle is used to avoid damage to the port membrane. There are many port designs and they may be placed in varying positions based on the surgeons preference. The port may be sutured in place. When fluid is introduced the bariatric lap band expands placing additional pressure around the outside of the stomach. This decreases the size of the passage in the stomach and restricts the movement of food.
Over a period of time the restriction is increased by adjusting the gastric band until patients feel they have reached a sweet spot where optimal weight loss can be reached with the minimal fluid required.
This is an individual experience and timing cannot be predicted. The amount of fluid required in the gastric band is varied.
If considering pregnancy the patient should be in optimum nutritional status prior to conception, and deflation of the band may be required prior to conception. The gastric band may remain deflated during pregnancy and once breast feeding is completed the gastric lap band may be gradually re-inflated to aid post pregancy weight loss if needed.
