This is my story
For all my life I have struggled with my weight, at school beacuse I did sports I managed to keep a fairly stable size 14, but since leaving nearly 20 years ago I have yo-yo'd - going to slimming clubs, losing weight, putting more back on! I got married in 1996 and was at my lowest weight of 10 1/2 stone, but after that I think I managed to put on a stone a year until I got to 16 stone.
In January 2004 I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and had to have a hysterectomy. Since then I have found it even harder to lose weight. I started running, going to weight watchers AGAIN and I managed to lose about 18lbs, then I went on holiday for 2 weeks and put on 12lbs! It's so disheartening when you've struggled so hard to get some weight off and all it takes is to eat like everyone else for 2 weeks.
Anyway I decided to go for a gastric band - I had my operation on 18th Aug in Belgium and I'll keep updating my progress on my diary.
