My sister, after many years of being morbidly obese is off for gastric band surgery in Lithuania next week.

She was on the waiting list for it here in the UK for two years, but because she made no attempt to lose weight or exercise or ANYTHING with a dieticians help they kept putting her name back, and eventually she went moping off to my father who has paid for her to have private treatment abroad as he is scared she will die otherwise.

I love my sister, but I also know her well enough to know that she is too dependent on this surgery as a quick fix. Gastric bands are great when you are in the right mindset, but they can be dangerous when taken so lightly...

Rant over

    Yes, I agree. I hope your sister can quickly see that you have to drastically change your eating habits for that to be safe and effective!

    Sending you and your sister good thoughts.

    Oh no, that is such a shame :( Especially when she has you near her to set such a good example! Still, people have to want to change, right?

    Best wishes to her for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery...and to you too, at what must be a very worrying time xxx
