Ok so I had my operation over two years ago...but chickened out of following through with it! Finally worked up the courage to go back and see my obesity nurse on the 6th of April. I feel like I am sitting outside the headmasters office ready for a real telling off!!! :wub:

I am confused :wub: So you went thru with the operation, but then chose not to follow thru on fills and such?

One foot in front of the other. Take it slow you are ready NOW. How is this for results, I was banded 9 months ago and have lost 97 pounds. It sorta just blows my mind. I never thought I would feel and look this great. Size 12/14 and as happy as a school girl. Best wishes imaluckydog

Yes thats pretty much it! Dumb, I know!

There is a bit of a story behind it - I left my abbusive husband who used to tease me about my weight, he'd even oink at me when I was eating and make fun of me in front of friends. Needless to say i felt pretty low and after i decided to leave him, I got the band to make myself feel better about myself. :tongue:

Shortly after I had the operation, I met a lovely man, who I am still with, but I was too ashamed to tell him about the band so I didn't follow through with any fills. I just didn't trust that he would love me for me and so I was tested him if you like. :eek:

I put on all the weight I had lost over two years. But it turns out that he loves me with or without the fat. I finally made the decision to trust him and I told him everything. He is really supportive!

So I've been back to the nurse today for my second fill and its onwards and upwards from here - with the support of my lovely man! :w00t:

Wow that is amazing...Well done You! :tongue:

I only hope I have the same kind of results. in the back of my mind I still don't trust myself to achieve this! Its like I'm almost waiting to prove to myself that I will fail again!

This time I'm not doing it by myself though - I've got the support of a wonderful partner:blush:
