spencertravers is on a distinguished road


hi just found this site banded 5 years ago lost 18 stone good luck on your journey !!

we its taken me 5 years now and i have finally had some time to look up on the internet of fellow gastric banders i live in sussex and i had a band fitted by nick boyle at tunbridge wells at the time the largest (in sussex ) for sure weighing in at a very embarressing 32 stone !!!!!! yes 32 stone i went to see nick 16 months ago ano and now weigh a tiny 14.5 stone its a long hard battle as i am sure most of you know i am not saying that i know the answers to every problem you all might have but if i can offer any support to you guys then let me know ? one of the most funny things that happened to me was meeting nick again after three and a half years and he did not know who i was and thought that i was in the wrong room lol will post some photos soon al the best and good luck on your journey spence !!!

Fantastic weight loss Spence

Did you have the band all the time, or had you 'upgraded' for want of a better word ?

Hi Spence, congratulations on your fantastic weight loss! I met Nick Boyle on Wednesday at Spire Tun Wells & we're working towards me having a gastric band fitted 21st March. Just wondered if you've got any advice for pre & post op? Did you still need to have a lot of will power after the op? Thanks, Becky in Eastbourne xx
