hi guys i am new to this. I am saving up for a gastric band surgery and hopefully will have it done by july. i would like some advice on going to belguim.  i would like to know is it safe to fly home just days after the op? how much has yours cost? i have seen a various amount of prices and i know the UK is far more expensive. i am nervous but i hate myself being so heavy (17.5 stone). i really want this operation.. please advise me.. i am a mother of 4 children rangeing from 5-19 years old. i want a better quality of life before my fat starts to cause serious health problems
