{slider So we just wanted to get some insights into how the gastric banding procedure has changed your life for the better hopefully. Can you tell me a little bit what life was like before the procedure, what encounters you had and so on.}
Okay. Well before I had the procedure I was quite fit in my early days, used to do a lot of surfing …

I always had a very happy life but I always struggled with my weight. I've done virtually every weight loss solution you can possibly try, every pill, every potion and everything and I just got to the point where I just needed to make a change and do something new and set a good example for my daughter.

My experience food wise, slow cooked meals have been the best ones for me, particularly consuming meats that are traditionally a bit tougher. My wife makes a lot of slow cooked meals now, but that's not the only thing I eat but it is the easiest.
Gastric banding has helped me make healthier choices in my food choices. I find having gastric banding that I have to be a bit smart about what I eat, so I tend to eat a lot more healthier than I did before anyway.
The decision of the lap band …
The decision of the lap band was a long decision for me. It took me roughly two years. From when I did it it took me weeks to go in and have the surgery and it's just been perfect. I have no complaints. My health has improved and I would recommend anyone who's thinking of doing it to go and do it.

Before I had the gastric banding I was very unhappy. I was putting on weight and just putting on weight and weight and weight all the time. I couldn't, this is not happening.
I was very unhappy because I was constantly putting on weight, I couldn't stop it and it doesn't matter, I tried things, I tried lots of different ways of taking off the weight, all the different procedures and nothing worked, absolutely nothing.
