Case Study 7 Age - 43 Location - Essex  Occupation - Lecturer Procedure - Gastric Bypass Weight Lost - 12st "I'd been a yo-yo dieter for years, I've lost five and six stone twice over in the past!" "I got to 24st at my heaviest, twice the size I was when I got married." "I wanted to be alive to draw my pension, so I had the gastric bypass. As a result I've lost 12 stone - my husband now has the women he married back!" "I no longer get stuck in seats and aisles on airplanes! I can now live a much fuller and active life." "I would recommend a gastric band/bypass to anyone who is struggling with obesity. It's great to be able to wear nice clothes again too."
