I tell people what im doing ie healthy eating and cut down on portions, no carbs,chocolate crisps or snacks etc and exercise. all of which is true. i do feel guilty however not metioning my band especially when they say things like youve really inspired me to lose weight, but im a private person and the band is my business.

The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

I have nothing to be ashamed of and I don't want to tell lies to anyone!

People generally respond knowing how serious an operation it is and how 'brave' they think I must be!
