[QUOTE="akindrat18, post: 586572, member: 53120"] I am seriously considering applying for weight loss surgery on the NHS after watching the news on Good Morning Britain as my parents have been thinking about weight loss surgery for me for 4 years as my weight has been creeping up slowly to 24 stone. My dad told me about one of his friends who had a gastric band and showed me photos of him before and after surgery, I was quite surprised and just seeing the photos after he had the band in place has now got me motivated to ask my doctor about it. Even my girlfriend is supporting my decision and I have been looking at some stories and would like to know if someone on here has any advice for me about how long would I have to wait? is it a horrible experience for the first few weeks after having it done?
