hi guys just thought id introduce myself here im a gastric bander of over 4 years and i live in the UK.
had my 1st band 3.5 years which i lost 7.5 st with but it had to be changed a year ago because of tube problems, it wasnt an issue really for me and i just seen it as part of the ups and downs that wls can bring, what happened to me was rare, so please do not worry.
i have now lost 8st 10llbs so far on my journey and i have no regrets what so ever, banding was the correct op choice for me as it suited my eating habbits/life style. my life has now changed for the better in many aspects not just physically but mentally to. wls is a life changing thing to go through but its far from an easy option to take, it can and does work with hard work and commitment, if we work hard with the tool given what ever the op maybe then the rewards are there for the taking.
i wish you all well on your own wls journeys what ever stage you may be personally at.
thanks for reading
