61 year old Juliana Heron from Sunderland is half the woman she was. After struggling with her weight for most of her life she decided it was time to take action when she topped the scales at 23 stones.
A typical yo-yo dieter, she ate big meals and had a passion for chocolate. She would diet, lose weight and then put it back on. She has arthritis and her extra weight was just too much for her knees.
Making the decision to go ahead with a gastric band was one of the best choices of Juliana’s life. She now weighs 10 stones, after a massive weight loss of 13 stones. She said “The gastric band surgery has changed my life. The obvious effects are the weight loss but what people don’t see are the changes I have made. I only eat small meals now and the thought of chocolate makes me feel sick. I would recommend a gastric band to anyone in my position.”
