This is my story
i had a gastric band fitted on the nhs on monday 21st January 2008. Ive not really had much support from loved ones - they think im mad/dont understand but have been miserable stuck in a body that stopped working as good as it should ages ago & left me with no self-confidence.
Im a single mum of one 13yr old son who is completely smothered/adored, I think i had my fair share of tough times and so thought this would be the first step to a newer/happier and healthier life - suppose i convinced myself it would be the easy way out, and how wrong was I?!!!!
The last 18 months have been the toughest i have ever gone through having to address weight-related issues that i chose not admit to before surgery and am curently having CBT with my obesity tems psycologist which is brilliant, and much better communications with the dieticians (whom until three months ago i waited nine months to be seen which was appauling/no wonder i felt so alone in this journey) hoping that my surgeon will agree to regular fills when he see's I am making so much better effort since he last saw me/dismissed me from his consulting room like a naughty schoolgirl, so much has changed and Im so greatful Im almost on the right track to loose the excess weight/get back on my weight loss journey as you all have/will do.
