[QUOTE="seaspray1998, post: 629018, member: 45245"] It's a gastric liner (look it up on youtube, will give a better explanation then me) and stay in for a year. Much better then a gastric bypass. What's good about it, other then it helping you to lose weight, and it's only a temporary, is that apparantly it makes yr blood sugar levels go back to normal AND in only a few days. They dont quite know why, but think it's something to do with not allowing the bile to be absorbed by the pancreas, so giving it a breather and thereby giving it a chance to go into functioning as normal. Usual cost is £7,000 but trials are taking place in a number of cities such as London - Kings College hospital and Guys and St Thomas More Hospital. Professor Stephanie Amiel and Dr P Chowdry head up the trial at Kings. You have to be type 2 diabetic - as pretty much nearly all medical people I've encountered dont even recognise being prediabetic, just say type 2, I am [/QUOTE]
