At age 24 I hit a whopping 165kg at 5foot 3 inches it's phenominal. I needed something done, I had tried many weight loss products and programes out there, just couldn't do it. I decided I needed to take the drastic measure and get a lap band. So in October 05 I went ahead. You know I didn't really see the weight coming off honestly. It wasn't until I saw a photo of myself at my daughters birthday and I didn't even recognise that it was me!! Odd, I know. So instead of me being classed as a morbidly obese person, I have proudly gone down into the overweight class..............and I am still going.
