I honestly didn't have a weight problem in my younger years, I had put weight on after settling down with my wife, I dieted and lost it, then put it back on, dieted once more and lost it again, stopped dieting and then put it back on and some more, then I did the Atkins diet lost it again and then put it back on ! Same again with the Lighter life diet and the Cambridge diet. Lost it all and put it all back on and quite a bit more..... I had my band in 2015 and have lost almost 9 stone..... Ive just turned 47 and never felt better...!!!!! Supporting others is now a huge part of my life.
