Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 Dear I am having Dr fielding too and He is doing BPD/DS for me. I agree with you 100percent!! the Drs will try and do the lap band but it is not the best surgery , they get paid more for doing that though, it is 9,000 well I was scheduled to have my surgery on 2 December last year but it was cancelled I am now trying to get it sooner than my new date of 2 November, this is in the public health system so it will be free but because of this big blow of having it cancelled I have taken out some medical insurance incase they cancel it again in November they don't regard it as a high priority at all so it can happen I was only 3 weeks away from having mine done. they will not do the gastric banding in the public hospital and it is by no means as good a surgery there are so many complications with it the band can slip, after ten years you have to have it replaced. actually I would love to ICQ about it my number is 108848137 love auzzie mate Rach Digest Number 4078 > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
