After trying everything and finally deciding I couldn't bear another serious attempt at a VLCD to lose 100+ lbs., I decided I was finally going to bite the bullet and have the LapBand procedure.  I booked a consultation with the Healthier Weight clinic in London, UK (where I now live) and my surgery was scheduled for one week later.  From an outside perspective it seemed like a rash decision, but I have been researching and considering WLS for almost 10 years.  My weight and consequently my physical and emotional health finally reached a 'no tolerance' limit and I decided I didn't want to wait another minute to give myself a chance at a normal, healthy life.My surgeon's name is Mr. Ameet Patel - a brilliant, kind and skillful man who put me at ease when I was having some serious pre-op panic.  I look forward to the opportunity to work with this device to achieve a sustainable, healthy weight.
