we its taken me 5 years now and i have finally had some time to look up on the internet of fellow gastric banders i live in sussex and i had a band fitted by nick boyle at tunbridge wells at the time the largest (in sussex ) for sure weighing in at a very embarressing 32 stone !!!!!! :wave_cry: yes 32 stone i went to see nick 16 months ago ano and now weigh a tiny 14.5 stone its a long hard battle as i am sure most of you know i am not saying that i know the answers to every problem you all might have but if i can offer any support to you guys then let me know ? one of the most funny things that happened to me was meeting nick again after three and a half years and he did not know who i was and thought that i was in the wrong room lol will post some photos soon al the best and good luck on your journey spence !!!
 
hi and welcome! I was also banded by Nick Boyle in Tunbridge Wells and you're the only other person I've ever 'met' who I have that in common with. What an amazing weight loss, no wonder he didn't recognise you! my weight loss is very slow but that's really down to me rather than anything else. How many fills did it take in your band to get you to a really good weight loss place?
