This is my story
I ahve always been overweight as a young boy,7stones at six years old, and have always been combatting obesity. I regularly exercise in the gym, golfing, cycling, walking, but gradually have been unable to maintain a healthy weight. I have even tried pills from the doctor, Reductil, again giving initial results but nothing lasting and easy to maintain. I joined the Police in 1979, still 3 stones overweight, but able to complete the relevant fitness tests and six and twelve mile runs. However, in Sept 2006 I contracted pneumonia, and was very ill. I piled on loads of weight, and am now at my heaviest ever, and have decided to have lap band surgery on 14/4/07 at Alexandra hospital, Cheadle. HOPE IT WORKS!!!
Well seven months on and after the surgery, I have now lost six stones and feel really good. I am now doing bike a fit classes, aqua fit classes, and playing golf much better, and having another tweak of my band just to decrease my portion size when eating to assist in further weight loss. so, if you are thinking of having lap band surgery, just ask me!!! i will keep you updated after Christmas.
Well, I am now 22 stones 5lbs, and bmi down by ten to 42, so a lot happier and healthier. I have had several band tweaks, and the weight at moment has plateaued and getting a little dispondent, but hopefully the band will help me out there. At least, I am not gaining weight.My starting weight was 400 pounds, bloody hell!! and now nearly lost 90 pounds, so it is working, just need to stay focused. Hope to hear from you all soon!Just need to keep off the biscuits and alcohol!! |
