meatmad 0 Posted January 1, 2008 hi , its my birthday to day and the start to a new fresh year.. had my band fitted end of sept 2006 and i weighed 32 stones (448 pounds) i now weigh 15 stone ( 212 pounds) i was bigger before i was banded i weighed another 4 stone , so i was 36 stone to start with but with determination and thewill to prove i could lose weight and so they would do the banding i stuck it out and lost the two stone they asked me to and two more i was well shocked. well ive got 2 stone to go and they said i might be able to get cosmetic surgery for my lose skin . i cant believe ive got this far. its been really tough some times but the way i feel now has made it all for the best well happy new year to everybody and keep up the good work u r all doing ... the band isnt for every body but its been the best thing ive ever done. and i would definately reccommend it to every body .. good luck to all for 2008 ( its time for me to live now) love kym Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
