Hi everyone! feels weird because I have been following your threads for some time but never dared "come out". I live in Europe (uk) and have decided to get banded. was initially accepted by a surgeon in Belgium but 2 weeks before surgery, his team decided i was not obese enough! as if being a little bit obese as opposed to very obese makes any difference to ones quality of life and self esteem. Anyway, wondering if anyone knows of any surgeon who would be ok with low BMI. have 29-30 but on the way up (as usual) and would like to end it right here and now.I am willing to travel anywhere. please help me... I am sure you all know how I feel - on the brink of tears each and every day. Middlegirl:frown:

Thank you so much for understanding me. I am afterall 34 yrs mum of three. i feel like i am constantly battling with food and exercise. (I walk everywhere!!!! in London, from home to work= 1hr45min) yet i am slowly creeping up. Just really want and end to it. I compare it with having diabetes, one could be constantly monitoring ones sugar intake but surely it is made easier with insulin injections. why cant people see over weight as a problem until it becomes deadly and has rid u of all your selfconfidence? Anyway, thanks again

Hi darling, thanks so so much, You got my hopes up. would you like to give me more info on where you got banded. stay slim and happy!
