My two sisters-in-law got that done. One of them lost a lot of weight and gain it all back, the other one haven't lost anything. First, keep in mind that you'll still have to exercise. Second, once you stop refilling you'll start gaining weight again. My suggestion would be to learn how to eat healthy and exercise regularly, otherwise the surgery won't work for you. Good luck!!

Hi, I've had it done - a year ago and it's not a walk in the park, but I wouldn't be without it. I've only lost two stone since having it done, and I have to tell you my BMI was marginal for having it done in the first place, so it's been slow!! Nothing like the miracle I was expecting, that's for sure. I also found it tremendously painful post-op, worse than abdominoplasty and caesarean!! The key is to get the restriction right and this could take a good 5-6 gos, so whatever you do make sure you get the fills included (for the first year) in the price. Leicester BUPA do this still, I think. I see it as a positive thing - if I hadn't had it done, I would be at least 4 stone heavier, so in that way I'm very happy with it. There is an absolutely fantastic website called www.wlsinfo.org.uk or something similar, it's a forum site and will tell you everything you need to know and more before you make a decision. Good luck, whatever you do!

Always have vegetables on side. Saute a big bag involving frozen mixed vegetables in olive oil and garlic. Add some red pepper or turmeric for additional flavor in addition to separate into portion-sized containers for the fridge.

Gastric sounds drastric. Try a mantra's like, "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels"
Best of luck to you!!!

Looking for the advantages of salmon but you don't feel at ease cooking fish? Try canned salmon like a simple and affordable alternative.

People who regularly weigh themselves and record their progress in a journal will probably lose weight.

Give your protein extra low-calorie flavor by building a salsa or chutney rather then a gooey cream sauce.
