I have been obese for over 20 years.  I have tried every diet imaginable and have thought about my weight at least 100 times a day.  My life was dominated by it and I failed to enjoy life at all as all i was worried about was how I was perceived by other people and what I was putting into my mouth on a daily basis.  I have eaten because I am miserable, I never felt full for long.I decided to have the gastric band fitted as my last attempt at a normal life.  For me if was a big decision as I nearly pass out having an injection let alone opting for surgery.I went to Brussels from England on Monday this week as it was cheaper than having it done in England and the clinic and surgeon have such a good reputation.  It was amazing, the hospital and care you receive put the english health service to shame.I now have the gastric band fitted and start my journey with my new best friend in side of me.  I am hoping it is not going to be too difficult as I feel I have earned a easier ride on the weight loss journey as it has been hard over the years
