I have been putting on about 10kg every year for the past 5 years.. I have tried everything and wasnt changing what I ate, but I kept on putting on weight.  Being  diagnosed with hypothyroidism along the way didnt help.  I could see people looking at mne differently, I could tell they were wondering what was wrong with me (regarding my weight gain) just as much as I was.  I began to get symptoms of diabetes and started worrying even more.  My father is extremely overweight and my mum is short, so theres a terrible combination of genes from the beginning!! I managed to stave off the inevitable only just.. until recently, thats when it was agreed upon by the Doctore and myself that Lap-Band surgery would be beneficial to my survival.  I was banded on 20th April 2010 and so far seem to be going oky, but time will tell. Wish me luck!!
