Is it as good as the UK? Is it cheaper?

How do you find out about the best place to go for weight-loss surgery abroad?

Are you sure you really want it. There can be so many complications here or abroad. I think it should really be only as an absolute last resort.

This is not something I know anything about really, but I would be asking not 'is it cheaper than the UK', but 'is it safe and if something goes wrong, who can I contact'.

Hi, like the others have said weight loss surgery is not something to be taken lightly, but it can be life-changing.

There is a forum www.wlsinfo.org.uk which unfortunately isnt free but costs about £5 to join, and there are people on there who have had weight loss surgery both in the UK and abroad who can help you research your options. Belgium is usually the place where people go abroad for weight loss surgery as they have a very good reputation for this type of surgery, and some of the world's best bariatric surgeons.
