Just wondered if any members have ever considered surgery for weight loss, and if so, did you have it or did you chicken out/not have it done for another reason.
The reason I ask, is that Mr Bone has had a laparoscopic band (also called 'lap band' or 'gastric band') fitted about 18 months ago, and its the best thing he has ever done.
It was done via keyhole surgery, and he was in and out of hospital in 24 hours, and is much, much safer that gastric stapling or gastric bypass.
His reason to have it done was a health issue and not a vanity one......his own father died at the age of 46 from an MI, andit was when he hit the 25 stone mark that we decided enough was enough and he needed to do it for his kids if no-one else. So far he has lost just over 6 stones, and in doing so his health has vastly improved too.
If anyone wants to know anything or wants any info, I would be only to glad to share it, either on the thread, or in private via pm.
