Hello everyone,

My name is Bunny and I am from England.

I was banded on 14th February 2007 by Dr. Dillemans in Brugge, Belgium.

My surgery was elective and I paid for it myself without my doctor knowing as I didnt want him to put me off the idea.

I was 252lbs and have lost 15lbs since surgery 3 weeks ago. :clap2:

I have been overweight for the last 10 years since breaking my leg, tried numerous diets and the last ditch attempt was with Slimmingworld, where I attended meetings for 2 years. I initally lost 30lbs, but it gradually krept up yo-yoing up and down a pound here and there, until I had regained 16lbs of my original loss.

My final straw came when I was making a irish coffee cheesecake.

I made it in line with my diet plan, and put it in the fridge to chill.

When I took the first bite of it, it was so foul and unappetising that i slid down onto the floor and cried for about an hour. It was then that I got on the internet and put the plans that had been at the back of my mind for months into operation.

I was banded 3 weeks later.

My doctor, after delivering the letter about my operation 10 days after the event, was very supportive, and I was so pleased. He told me that I had made a valuable investment in my future, and if I needed anything at all, just let him know.

So thats me. I have been married for 10 years and have an 8 year old son who we home school. We are all adjusting to my new regime as it seems to make an impact on the family as well.

Anyway,

I look forward to getting to know some of you better.

Bunny
