Wow glad you doing great! Yeah I have been to Shrewsbury many times shopping ha! I am trying to get more people so then I can plan whereabouts the support group can happen.

Hellooooo glad to hear you doing great specially when you had so much on your plate at same time with the hip surgery. Let me know when you are in uk!!! Also yeah you are right, obesity is a disease, it is an addiction!! I still to this date fight head hunger and overeat! Is a constant battle however I know I don't wanna go back there and always know to keep on track, and this website certainly helps!xx

Hello that's amazing! I will do 1 year in January 27th! I have to start going gym lol. I'm a size 8 uk now and was a massive 18!!! Was 14st4 and now 8st13! Feeling great

My experience I believe I was 32 bmi, I'm only 5ft1 and always struggled with my weight, I was 14st4 when I decided to have the surgery as I really tried everything in my power to do loose the weight since I was 10. Sometimes we just need that extra push and the band done that for me as been a very hard process but very rewarding I went from size uk 18 to 8!!!!! From 14st4 to 8st13!!! I am glad to say I have no extra skin and really happy to have done the surgery when I was 21! Not even one year on and I already lost all the weight and I am now with a healthy bmi!! Good luck to you all, but remember is a tool not a miracle, you gotta really work on your nutrition, for 3 months I did not touch chocolate or anything bad at all!! Will power!!! If you need any help contact mexx

If your bmi is over 30 in uk you can go private, it really is no ones business if you decide to do it or not, at the end of the day is a decision only you can make and take in consideration perhaps what your family has to say.
