Laparoscopic Gastric Banding Surgery - Andy's Story
Andy Spalding is a guest-speaker for our practice and has given us some information on his Lapband Operation.
At 156 kilos I had been trying for 7 years to do something about it. Diets and exercise programs even prescription drugs. You name it I tried It! I would always lose 5 kilo
s and after 6 weeks lose motivation with the slow results and put the weight back on. In August 2005 I decided I needed help to lose weight. I went along to a information night on Lap Banding. It should have been called a life changing information night. 18 months later I had lost 56 kilos and my life was transformed.
What I love about the Band is that I have a weight loss consultant with me 24/7. The Lap Band stopped my hunger. I have never felt hungry since getting the Lap Band. With my hunger taken care of I was able to enjoy healthy food, an active lifestyle and once and for all lose weight.
I have now left a 10 year career in an office job to become personal trainer. Every day I get to help others with their weight loss journey.
The Lap Band stops you eating too much and feeling hungry. However the wonderful effects it has on your life are endless.
