I
researched the operation for over a year before it was done. I also
spoke to others who had the lapband, and had talks with my doctor,
dietician and physiotherapist before I went ahead.
I beleive that it is very important to talk to others who have had
this operations and to also research and find a doctor your are comfortable
with before making any decisions.
I am very happy with my operation even though I'm still in the during
process. I can now walk without gasping for air and my hips and knees
are no longer giving me pain.
I have recently joined a gym and have dropped three dress sizes. I
can now go shopping without having to rest every 20-30 minutes, life
is so much better! |
