[size102b]

Sorry guys didnt know where to post on here Im new :wave_cry:

I have seriouslt considered having a gastric band for 3 years now what puts me off is 1 The money no chance of NHS funding 2 Will I die as I have 3 children
BUT
I have yoyoed so much every plan going especially vlcd for 5 years leading me to be 3 stone heavier.
I am on weightwatchers plan I started 1st March and I have lost 2st 10lb I exercise 5-6 days a week and I have 5 stone more to lose ,what Im worried for is regaining again,I am enjoying ww this time have stayed on plan for 21 weeks 100% but I know I yoyo,I dont think they will let me have any gastric surgery now as my BMI is 37 from 44 I knowit has to be 40 and I dont have any medical problems that puts me in the gastric surgery area.
I have emailed streamline to see fi I am suitable but I just got an email back sayinmg ring them,I havent got the cash yet so didnt want to say ok Ill have it etc.
Anyone have any knowledege etc?

All i can possibly say is it's an incredibly lucky person who doesn't have to watch diet or exercise in order to maintain a 'normal' weight...

Good luck with your weight watchers plan, seems like you have your head in the 'zone' xx

Private providers will generally fit a band if your BMI is 30 or over, some will even fit one lower than that! So you should have no problems.
