Hi my name is Julie & Iam a 53 year old Mother & Nan, I have been married to Gary for 24 years & we live in Western Australia in a place called Bunbury. I decided to have Lap band surgery after I had developed High Blood Pressure & border line diabetes, I had tried many different weightloss things which worked for awhile & then Iwould gain the weight I had lost. I also was turning 50 & was feeling desperate to feel great within myself. You could say I becoming impatient with my body. My journey has been very up. & down. In the beginning I loved my new found body & was getting along well with my band but stress is something that doesn't work well with the band. I have my good days & bad day. When I have a blockage Iam sick for hours after which leaves me very weak. I then go back to just having liquids. Until things feel better. At the moment my weight has plateau but I have been getting really bad reflux where I can only lie on my back not on my side. Taking Somac but will have to try to look closer at my evening meal. I have never had this before. Surgeon wants to review me in 3 months. Anyway that's a little of my journey, at times the band is not my friend & just want it removed but for now are trying to remain positive in my journey. Julie x
