My name is Julie, I am 59 years old 5ft tall and have battled with a weight problem for over 30 years. (Diets just didn't work for me). I would lose weight, but always put more back on over time. I found it hard to walk and exercise as I was always out of breath. After hearing about the lap band surgery from a friend, I researched about the procedure on the internet. I decided to go ahead with the operation. Before the operation in November 2006 I weighed 97kg. Now 7 months later I weigh 75kg (a loss of 22kg). I could not have done this on my own, it has been achieved by my follow up appointments with my medical team (surgeon, Dietitian and Nurse). I have learnt from Helen the proper nutritional foods and the amounts of food to eat. I have learnt the proper way to chew my food and to really taste what I am eating. I have never felt better in my life. I still have some kilograms to lose, but with the help of my team of specialists I know I will achieve my goal weight. I now can look in the mirror and not hate the person who is looking back at me. Stay posted for my final reveal. Julie Heib VIC.
