A Patient's Story

Rebecca's Story

Read Rebeccas’s story about her new found energy and happiness after beating obesity.

At 12 I weighed 13 stone!

"I have always struggled with my weight. At 12 I weighed a staggering 13 stone and suffered from severe depression leading to an attempted suicide."

I tried every form of dieting

"As an adult I have tried every form of dieting from diet pills to hypnotherapy. Obesity affected my confidence and ability to interact in the community – in fact so low was my confidence that I tended to stay in and comfort eat. I would research job opportunities but failed to apply due to my state of mind."

I have now lost 8 Stone so far

"After years of dieting, losing weight and then putting it back on (usually even more than before) I decided to have a gastric band fitted by The Hospital Group in September 05. As a result of having the Gastric Band, I have now lost 8 stone so far and my weight is being managed. Finally my food addiction is being controlled for the first time in my life."

I now have much more energy

"I've got so much more energy and I no longer get out of breath. Having the Band allows me to eat what I enjoy, just less of it to satisfy my appetitie!"

I have much more quality time with my daughter

"I now love the fact that I am so much more involved with my daughter as a result of losing weight. I now have the energy to take my daughter out a lot more – we go swimming and walking and visit the Zoo. It has enabled me to have much more quality time with her, she loves it and so do I!"
