Hi Mrs D
DO YOU ALSO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON FILL DOCTORS IN THIS COUNTRY. iT SEEMS TO BE THAT YOU CAN ONLY USE THE dR OR GROUP WHO DID THE BANDING.

Where do you live, what band have you had? I may be able to help you.

Hi

Just wondered if there is a support group in Guildford, Surrey or nearby. It would be very helpful. I was banded in September and have lost approximately 10Ibs. I have been tightened twice, the second time just before Christmas, but it is really weird as it has only been since February/ March that the golf ball effect has occurred. Hopefully now that this has kicked in I should lose weight more easily. Also summer time should help.

Looking forward to your reply

Hi Patty!
Sorry for the tardiness of this reply! have you tried Simon Dexter? He's in Leeds... does NHS and private, telephone his secretary at the Leeds Nuffield hospital and ask if he'll take you?

Hi there hope this info will help. If u pm me with your enmail addy I will pass it on to Josie who runs the group and she will contact you to confirm details of next meeting.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Surrey Support Group happens every first Wednesday of every month at the Holiday Inn , Hugo's bar in Woking.We meet up in a small mezzanine between the bar and the restaurant, on the right hand side of the entrance. You'll find us sitting at a large table, close to the cigar machine. The parking is free, when you get to the barrier, just tell reception you are going to Hugo's bar, they will let you in; you can park downstairs in the garage or in the open air if there are any spaces. If you are coming with the train , the Holiday Inn is less then 5 minutes walking from the station. This is the link for the map and direction: <a href="http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/...irection/xwow target="_blank">http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/...irection/xwowk
