Hello to everyone.

My name as u can see is Yiannis. I used to weight 192 kgs(abt 427 lbs). On the 18th of January, i had my lap band surgery. Also, i did a gastric bypass and a cosmetic surgery as my tummy was quite...big !

Till today I have lost 55 kilos(abt 122 lbs) and every week i am loosing some weight.

I am very happy that i did that surgery, because i am already starting feeling much better !

Best regards

Yiannis

Actually I had 4 operations in one day...The bypass, the lapband, the cosmetic & some liposuction. I was in the operation theatre for 9 hours !

I know a lot of Greek people that hv done lap band. I am a member to a similar forum called www.eatingdisorders.gr ! Relly usefull, as i had many help from people !

Kalispera Yiannis!

Welcome to the site! I had my surgery on March 20th by Dr.Gavriil in Athens. I had the lapband. I am English but married a Greek and live in Korydallos.

Your weight loss has been great.I've lost 18kg so far and now seem to be losing about 1kg a week which is fine by me

Great to hear. I had the operation(s) done by Mr Gavrihl as well and his brother who is a cosmetic surgeon.

Nice coincidence...My mother is English and married to my father (Greek!)
