Hello everybody, I haven't logged in here for months so I hope everyone is doing well, plus I am sure there are a lot of new faces now!
I hit a milestone this morning, over 5 stone lost!! It's 11 months since my op and the amazing thing is I have just spent 2 weeks in Florida!! I went 3 years ago (pre band) and gained a stone, this time I lost 1lb!! I think I can now say I'm at that stage where I love my band, it just took me a little bit longer to get to grips with it. The adjustments are still hard, they even talked about another op to move my port but after a full under x-Ray, which was fascinating by the way, they realised its just a bit skew and we can get it done now.
I still have a bit of a way to go but I feel so much better than I used to, more confidence and something else which I don't know if other people find, I don't get sick half as often. I used to get every cough, cold and big going round but now I think I am so much happier and healthier in myself instead of being run down and unhealthy.
So anyway, if anyone browses through my diary they can see I've had my ups and downs, but the bottom line is try and stay positive, stick with it and it'll all fall into place. I've still got nearly 3 stone to go but i know I'll get there. Good luck everyone fighting the same battles as me xx

Hi everyone, just a quick check in from me. Just over the 2 year mark now and 6st4lbs lost now.
It becomes just a way of life so for me daily updates etc just don't seem necessary anymore but i know how much I struggled at the beginning and like to pop back to let people know it's worth hanging in there and putting in the hard work needed.
I still would like to lose another stone or so but it is a lot slower now, I do have to make a conscious effort to lose now but I also do 2-3 bootcamps a week which really makes a difference.
I'm going to be a bridesmaid soon and love the dress, will see if I can upload a pic of me trying it on so you can see my progress!
I also went to Cape Town in March, and climbed table mountain. This was an incredible achievement for me since last time we went I'm sure I struggled enough making the walk from the car park to the cable car!
Anyway I hope everyone is still doing well and all newcomers, they you're struggling, hang on in there! It's worth it! x

Sorry for the bump. Just wanted to post to say that I've just had mine done at the same place by the same guy as you. Streamline, BMI Clementine Churchill and the Sudbury Clinic, by Guy Slater and his team. It's reassuring to hear of your success, I hope I've had the same success in a couple years too.
Congrats on your success!
