This is my story
I have dieted along the way; sensibly via WeightWatchers, Slimming World and less sensibly with fad diets and latterly Lighterlife. Yes, I have managed to lose weight: a couple of stones plus and then I've fell off the wagon so to speak. I just cannot sustain it. I then put the weight I lost back on, plus more; the old yo yo story.
I have always felt healthy, with no problems. However, it all seems to be creeping up on me recerntly. I'm so tired at the end of the day. My limbs are aching and I'm beginning to feel old and unhealthy. As I get more depressed the more I eat for comfort and on and on goes the vicious circle. I am frightened of what the future holds. My father and his siblings all have heart problems and my mother has already had one hip replaced. Fearful of going down the same route. I desperately want to break out of this cycle and lose weight for me and my family, but especially my son.
Thank you. I have found this website informative on WLS; which let's face it is a bit of a taboo subject generally. Its also been comforting to know there are other women out there like me.
Am currently looking at all options, but deep down if I'm honest I feel the lapband is for me, but I need more info; good and bad.
