Lap Band Surgery
Posted by cezzer (153 days ago)
I have decided to have lapband surgery in a couple of months,and want to hear from anyone who has had this procedure here in Hong kong or anywhere in Asia.I have done research and although it is much cheaper to have it done in Thailand,I need to know if I can get fills here in hong kong.

Where are you going to have operation? I had a lap band operation on the 30th June 2008 at the Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong. So I went Public. Yes it did take me from my first initial step to getting the lap band from the Oct 2007 to the June 2008. Was a lot cheaper. The operation went really well. I have lost 9 kgs but have stopped loosing. Had my first fill of 1cc on 21 July. Will have to find out what is going on when I go back later this month.
Yes you can get fills here.
I dont' think it has been a big thing in Hong Kong but it is getting more popular.
If you need to know anything else don't hesitate to ask.

I had a balloon (not a band) with Dr Anthony Li - 2521 6830 - this week! It is a good first step before or in place of banding, and much cheaper.

Now about 15 lbs lighter after the balloon, eating less but normally, feeling well, been back to the gym and able to exercise, though have not pushed too hard. Pretty happy so far! Looking forward to getting back into my 'old' clothes...

I had a ballon with Dr Li as well. Just had it out on Sat after 6 months. Would not recommend it. It was not cheaper in the long run, between the cost to have it in and then the cost to have it out and the visits in between and the medicine it added up to almost the US$12K it would have cost to have the lap band in Singapore. Also, after the inital month of feeling sick and losing about 15lbs, I didn't lose any further weight. I recommend going straight to the band.
