Personal story till surgery
I've always struggled with my weight, but reaching th 300 pounds mark as really the turning point in my life, I had no will to do anything, was always tired, and working for 13 hours a day left me completly dead at the end of the day. My days off were spending sleeping to recover my energies.

Your diet experiences
Tried everything from tablets, to Rosemary Conley, Weight Watchers, milkshake diet u name it I've done it, it would work for a while and the the weight was back on plus the extras.

What is your reason for surgery?
My reason for surgery is have better quality life with my husband, being able to do things that normal people do, my husband is very fit and I felt I was always holding him back. My health was a important factor I'm newly wed and I want to spend the rest of my life with my husband being happy and enjoying ourselves ( we love holidays abroad and he would love to go to a aqua park but I was mortified I would get stuck in one of the rides, plus the seat belt extension what a nightmare.

Personal experiences in Belgium
I loved belgium, everyone looked after me and Marc and Dr Dillemans were outstanding. St jan is a very big hospital but I only had to share my room with an old lady for a day and for the rest of my stay noone was with me, I had private toilet, and nurses were realy caring. They allowed my husband to stay past visiting time what was really great.
