Thought I may as well start one of these as I'm due into the charnel house on the 8th Sep and would like to record my journey and learn from the rest of you wonderful people.
I have struggled with my weight all my life and was 26 stone at my heaviest. I got down to 13st around 7 years ago using lipotrim but began to put the weight back on. When my regain got to 16 stone around 5 yrs ago I got the band, initially I did ok but I have never got in with it and now I sit at just over 20 stone.
After lots of chats with the peeps at Belgium Surgery Services and much soul searching I have decided to go for the MGB as I think it is better suited to my personality.
I am considering seeing some sort of counsellor to deal with the issues of why I overeat rather than just dealing with the symptoms, I am nervous taking this path though and it is not the sort of thing blokes do?
Has anyone else done this, did it help?
