Manchester lapband

GC53

Hi
Having my surgery done by Dr David Ashton in Manchester along with two other surgeons [telemetric specialists] on 11th March. Started my pre-op this morning but as I love smoothies anyway it's no problem.
As you may have read in other posts I had the gastric balloon for 6 months end of 2005 to March 2006 and lost about 14 kilos which is about 30 lbs but have regained about 7 kilos [over 14lbs] at an alarming rate and think I'm going to end up heavier than when I started. Have been on and off diets for years but always eat fairly healthily all of the time but just keep gaining the weight.
Great to see a post specially for us UK bandsters.

Good luck with your op GC, if you lost with the balloon you definitely will feel the benefit with the band and keep it off. :biggrin1:
