Hi ya I loved slimming world I found it easier to follow than weight watchers fitting in with everyday life and the things I could cook for all the family, any things worth a go, ild only disclose u r banded if u feel the need too, remember some ppl can b very jealous and wen u start loosing the weight bcus u r following the plan the others may say things like well it's cus she got a band she's cheating, we know as fellow Wls ppl that this isn't true and u will need to work just as hard especially at the start to get the weight moving again but I don't think u need to tell them as they may use this against u!! I know I wouldn't feel the need to tell ppl if I was to join not bcus I'm embarrassed I had surgery but for the fact that it's no one else's business!!!
Good luck hun and well done for taking the decision to go bk ti a slimming class ppl often forget the band/ bypass/ sleeve is just a tool and anything we can do to help it along is great, iv joined the gym today to try and get my last few stone off, I had a bypass April 2011 iv lost 10 stone 11lb which I'm ecstatic about but iv still a few stone to shift so going gym and if that don't work I'll b joining u at slimming world ;-) hold ur head high and know ur there to help urself and ur do it I wish u all the best xx
