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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
