Five Years With The Band

  • Popular Post

Hello all,

It's now five years since I had my lap band. Seems strange to think it's that long. It's true to say it's been a great move and one that changed my life.

I've maintained my weight loss because of a changed lifestyle. Gone are the days of failure to understand my own body. Exercise and good eating are just parts of my natural day. It wasn't always like that.

So to all of you perhaps just setting out on your lapband journey, good luck and best wishes. The effort and work is worth it, not just for you but your loved ones too.

KIng regards,

Steve
