Hi,

I too am considering this procedure. I've had enough of being overweight. I am seeing a consultant at the end of the month - although it does cost a lot of month, it pro a lot cheaper than all the diet pills and potions Ive used so far. I am initally seeing the consultant about lipo suction and the lipo laser treatment on my lower legs as I can not stand the way my calfs are so large. But hinking with that being about £3000, I may as well have the balloon.

In London it looks as if I can expect to pay £5000, wondered if you looked into going abroad at all as it seems that that would only cost £2500.

I aslo wondered about excess skin going through this procedure. I know the bypass results in quick weight loss and the skin can not recover, so people do tend to have surgery afterwards to remove this. Do you think this would be the same.

As this seems to be a good way of teaching yourself to register when you are full and is not a permanent fixure, it is very appealling.
