This is my story
I`m a stay at home mum - enforced due to back problems which are the result of choosing nursing as a career. I`v has had a weight problem since puberty.
I`v been there done it bought the diet book and could write a book of my own.
The only thing is I take it off and put even more back on.
I got married to my childhood first love - at the age of 33yrs and after having always felt that I wouldn`t have kids my biological time clock started ticking.
I had two children in my mid to late 30`s and kept the weight with each pregnancy and added more afterwards and of course this has made my back problem worse. #
I have the two healthiest kids, with a very healthy diet, outlook on diet and health and who are really well informed about food choices and facts - told you I could write a book!!
I haven`t worked since I had Megan, now 9yrs old and I occasionally do voluntary work at a local charity my best friend and her mum established for people with life limiting illnesses in our rural area. I answer the phone, give out information, arrange appointments etc., nothing to taxing as long as I`m able to be mobile!! which is not always possible.
I am at the moment, looking at the facts about gastric lap bands with a view to perhaps going down the self funding route - I know my GP would agree in principle but the funding won`t be available. Our nearest big cities are Glasgow and Edinburgh both 28 to 30 miles away, there are clinics there - but the cost!! My husband would do anything for me, he also has a weight problem, but can manage it better than me, when he sets his mind to it. But it`s the cost - although I have spent, I`m sure, this on more, in diet club fees, fad diets and allsorts in the past.
I would love to hear from anyone in a similar situation, to give and perhaps get support, and anyone who can help with info about their Gastric Bands.
that`s my story!! so far.

And going slowly but surely
