Guest guest Posted April 12, 1999 Report Share Posted April 12, 1999 Hi Janet, I would love to have a look at the video of that programme if BBC sends it to you. I did not know that gastric banding was performed at Southampton General Hospital. Was it the Lapband or the Swedish band?

Guest guest Posted April 12, 1999 Report Share Posted April 12, 1999 No, I mean they sited the BAND around the base of the oesophagus, not the stomach!!! Every bit of information I have seen shows the band forming a pouch at the top of the stomach, not around the oesophagus, isn't that right?

Guest guest Posted April 12, 1999 Report Share Posted April 12, 1999 It looked like Swedish ... I think. I have already made enquiries and I'm hopeful that I will be able to get a copy.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 1999 Report Share Posted April 13, 1999 Sorry chaps, I tried my best to get a copy of this programme, but no go. Apparently they will only give copies to those people who actually took part, something to do with copyright laws.
