hi , im kym, this is my first time writing on a forum. ive been overweight all of my life. but as time as gone on ive got bigger and bigger. after years of trying all diets and remedys, i manage to get a appointment to see a consultant to see what procedure would be best for me. my consultant was mr super who agreed to do a lapband for me, i had to wait for a few months for the surgery but i swear it was the best decision ive ever made. my surgery was done the end of september 2006 and since then ive lost the weight slowly . so far ive lost 161 lbs and have just had my second refill , so im on fluids for a while . id like to talk to other people who have had the same surgery, cause they know what my going through. (the wanting to be normal what ever that may be).
