Case Study 6 Age - 38 Location - Surrey  Occupation - Client Coordinator Procedure - Gastric Band Weight Lost - 17st "At 18 I was morbidly obese and was continually bullied at school - as a result I hated school." "I married the first man who showed me any interest in me as I felt no one else would want me being the size I was. We had five children, but when I was 25st we divorced." "I was a closet eater, I would hide food and chocolate in the wardrobe, one of the kids found it and I had to pretend it was for their Christmas stockings." "I once got stuck in the turnstile when I was out with the family!" "Since losing weight I have more confidence, I'm treated with more respect, I can wear height heels again and I've even been promoted twice in six months!"
