I know 3 women who have had gastric bypass ops on the NHS to lose weight. They cost in the region of £15,000 each. I know 2 women who have had breast implants on the NHS and I know 1 woman who had the gastric bypass op and then all her excess skin removed, again on the NHS.As an aside, My GP referred me for a dermatology appointment about 2 months ago. I heard this afternoon that the consultant has agreed to my referral but there is a minimum of 1 years waiting list!!

I sympathise Flowerpower, and understand your frustration as it looks like I can't see ENT till next year also.

I imagine that any treatment, especially surgery, would become rather more expensive.
Of course, if you're rich like TAT, it should be no problem at all!
