I had my op in March 2009 at Macclesfield Spire under Mr. Agwunobi.
I am amazed and absolutely delighted to have, so far, lost more than 100lbs.
I never dreamt I would lose so much weight and feel so much better in such a relatively short time.
I was convinced that the surgery wouldn't work and I would be one of the first failures but here I am now much slimmer and, more importantly, much, much fitter.
Good luck to all you pre oppers, you will worry about taking the plunge but you will be months post op before you know it and, like me, you will not regret having the operation, it's one of the best things I've done.
