This is my story
I have always been overweight, learned behaviour I think from my overweight mother. I have tried, weight watchers, slimmingworld, cambridge diet, orlistat, sibutamine, phentermine and hypnosis. I am very enthusiastic when I start a diet but have no staying power. In all I must have lost and regained 20 stone and dieted for 30 of my 38 years on and off. I have recently contacted the weight loss surgery group and although my BMI is between 31/32 they will still consider me as it has a huge impact on my self esteem. I honestly think that I have just become so sick of my weight and diet taking over my life, its the first thing I think of on waking. My husband says there is nothing wrong with me but will support me in any decision I make. I have researched the gastric band and really hope that it will be appropriate for me. I know a lot of people will say BMI 31 what is her problem.... but it is to me and makes me feel miserable and self consious. I have an intial consultation on 4th November 2010 and hope to move forward from that to enable me to receive surgical treatment. My mother is also going with me her BMI is 42 so we hope to embark on this together.
