Joy Peagram-
        Gastric Banding procedure

At the beginning of 2005 I had given up with my weight. I resolved never again to make a
New Year’s resolution to lose weight because every year I failed and ended up weighing
more at the end of the year than the beginning.

I had my operation in June 2005 and, for myself, I resolved to go hard with the subsequent
dieting. To date I have lost 45 kg, I have gone from a size 24 to size 12. About two months
after the operation, I began to feel restless and, for the first time in my life, actually wanted
to do some exercise. This began very slowly because at first, I could not even walk the 200m
up my street without stopping 2-3 times to get my breath.

My advice to anyone considering the operation – go for it, you have the rest of your life to
really look forward to. I have never been happier in my whole life. It is a joy to get up every morning.

Kylie-
       Lap Band Procedure

I was Gastric Band surgery ed on the 31st of may 2005. To date I have lost 56kg and now weigh 82kg.
With one leap of faith, at the hands of one gifted surgeon, my life began its transformation.

Dr Fris is just Brilliant. I was surprised at how approachable and easy to talk to he was. The
equation works like this. He will fix the technical stuff and then you re-program your mind
and body to live with it. He will not lie to you, it will require effort and you will have to put in
the hard yards.

       Sleeve Gastrectomy

I am a woman who had the gastric sleeve procedure done at the end of November 2005
at 60 years old. This was a last resort after trying unsuccessfully for years to lose weight.
Ten months later I have lost 24 kgs without the benefit of exercise. As a child I had polio
and in later life was diagnosed with “post polio syndrome”, which seriously affects my
mobility. Since the operation I am now able to sit, stand and move around more easily
and have improved health and quality of life. I would recommend this procedure to
anyone considering it.
