Hello this is refreshing, i have felt alone for the past 14 months so feel like i need to share my experiences !! In the first year I bearly lost a stone in weight following surgery, Bearing in mind I was drinking alcohol which doesnt help, however having stopped drinking alcohol for past 4 months things have changed and I have now lost a stone; I guess the message I would like to give is that gastric banding is a vehicle for loosing weight not a solution!! You need to be able to change your whole philosophy in terms of eating, lifestyle etc, the band helps so much and for some people is perfect but I am not perfect and have learnt that lifestyle changes are so much easier to make with the band and that is what it is all about:clap2: .
