hIYA I'M DEBZ AND IV JUST JOINED THIS SITE,

HAS ANYONE BOOKED THEIR SURGERY WITH WGA, I'M DUE TO BE BANDED ON THE 15TH NOV, AT BROMSGROVE AT THE COST OF £4950.

JUST WONDERED WHAT YOUR EXPERIENCES WHERE LIKE? AND I'M REALLY SCARED THAT LIKE SOO MANY OTHER DIETS THIS WON'T WORK. THE SURGEON ASSURED ME THAT IT WILL AND I AM GOING TO GIVE IT

100%. AS I SEE THIS AS MY LAST CHANCE. I'M 5'6 WITH A BMI OF 47 AND HAVE TO LOSE A STONE BEFORE AND ALSO 7 DAYS BEFORE SURGERY HAVE TO GO ON A MILK DIET TO SHRINK THE LIVER, IM TRYING TO DIET NOW BUT AM FINDING IT EXTREMELY HARD AS I FEEL UNDER SO MUCH PRESSURE. IF I DONT LOSE THE WEIGHT THEY WILL CANCELL THE SURGERY AND I WILL LOSE ALL THE MONEY. ANYONE BEEN THROUGH THE SAME.

THANKS FOR READING, DEBZ.

hi Debz

I'm Joanne and i was banded on the 14th may and i would never turn the clock back i love the band and shes a great best friend always their for you even when you have a few ups and downs , as long has you work with the band its a very good tool to have to help with weight loss and remember that your weight didn't go on over night so don't expect it to come off over night . My mum and 2 aunties and cousin have also had the band done and not one of them regret having the band done .

good luck Debz with your banding journey you will never regret it .

joanne xx

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
