Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for some general advice and feedback on gastric banding. I am currently at 244 pounds, 178cm with a BMI of 35.4,type II diabetes (diagnosed in the last 12 months) and elevated blood pressure. I've done a bunch of reading online and I think that gastric banding may be an option for me. I'm looking to have the surgery done by Dr Dillemans in Belgium - I'm Australian but living in Ireland, the research back home suggests that a lap band would be enormously helpful in getting my weight and other health problems under control but when I spoke to my GP here in Ireland he said I was foolish and to just try and continue to lose weight
I will keep reading all the great posts here but any advice or insight you could give me into the gastric banding process and results would be greatly appreciated!
Siepie
