heatherkipling 0 Posted January 16, 2009 Hello everybody I am new to this forum and am patiently trying to find my way round. I live in Durham, UK. I was banded in April 2007 by Chris De Bruyne in Belgium. Had a BMI of approximately 33 at the time (featherweight I know) I was 14 stone 9lbs (5ft 5in) I have lost 5 stone 2 lbs on a good day. I am currently trying to maintain. I am back to Belgium next Sunday for Tummy Tuck surgery on Tuesday. The surgery is not a result of my band weightloss but a result of having children many moons ago. Anyway I hope to be a regular member of this forum so speak to you soon.
