I've always had a weight problem, when I was a kid my Mum would tell me it was just 'puppy fat' and I would grow out of it as I got older. My sister's always been slim so I envied her a lot, which got me down and I'd end up eating more. I used to joke with my Mum that when I was older I'd get lipo-suction, and as I became older weight-loss surgery became a serious topic of conversation. My Mum did all the research and suggested getting a gastric band. So, as soon as I turned 18 I got it done! It's been a year now. And a tough year, changing my whole eating plan and not being able to go out to places with my friends as much as I used to. But it will be worth it in the end :)
