Case Study 5 Age - 39 Location - Derby  Occupation - Retired Nurse Procedure - Gastric Band Weight Lost - 4st 1lb so far "I was compulsive in many ways, this included eating and having 19 cats, dogs and other pets." "I yo-yo dieted for years, trying every diet there is. When I was heavier I wouldn't go out with friends, I'd stay at home and binge." "I've gone from a size 24 to a size 16 and I hope to lose more weight." "The gastric band and the weight loss has given me new found confidence - I'm now applying for jobs, going out, enjoying life, feeling fitter, happier and enjoying my life again with more confidence."
