Between January 2005 and January 2006 I lost 53 Kilos doing the Atkins diet. I've since regained 35 of them.
So many diets and soooo many failures. I've made two feeble attempts since then losing and gaining 10 kilos each time.
In March this year I decided to go ahead with the band.
Good thing was my insurer agreed to pay half. I have to say though that's the cheap part, the surgery to remove all of my excess skin at the end of this is what'll bankrupt me.
I started my pre-op diet on May 29th and lost 8 kilos in the two weeks leading up to the surgery.
I must take some 'before' photos before I lose too much weight.:biggrin:
