Hi All,

I'm new to this app and thought that I might share my story with you all. This month marks the 2 year anniversary of being banded. My life has changed in more ways than just the weightloss. I managed to lose 51kg (approx 112 pounds) and over 2 metres from my body. The weightloss encouraged me to leave an unhappy marriage and try my hand at a career that I didn't think I was smart enough to do. 2 years later and I am in a relationship with my soulmate ( who I might add is 10 years my junior) and am getting paid to do my dream job. I am still trying to get my head around the weightloss and to see myself in a new light. I love shopping for new clothes, knowing that I can walk into any shop and find clothes that fit. My mind is just taking a little bit to catch up, but I'm working on it.

I love reading the stories from other bandees. Thanks for reading my story

WOW !! Awesome thank you for sharing.the new found confidence seems to be a recurring theme.! :-)

Love to read stories like yours! I am not banded yet but seeing how well people like you are doing is very inspiring to me!

Would love to see your before and after pics, and know what your dream job is! My surgery was about a year ago, and I also left an unhappy relationship! I haven't gone into faze two like you yet (finding my soulmate!), but hope springs eternal! Thanks for the 2-year inspiration! I can so relate with you how fun it is to go shopping for clothes now! Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing!
