Nancy – Gastric band
“I’m so much more active now. Food is no longer my main focus. I’m normal. I’m accepted. I’m not judged. If you are thinking about having a band my advice is: Just do it.”*
We’ve helped thousands of people just like you to lose weight with a gastric band and many are happy to share their before and after photos, and weight loss results. Here are just a few of their stories. When you read them, you may find that you share certain feelings or frustrations or you’ve experienced similar life events. Many patients talk about a ‘trigger’ moment or event when they realised it was time to do something about their weight and that they couldn’t do it on their own. If this is true for you, take inspiration from their success and take the next step on your own weight loss journey.

“I started my journey at 20 st 5lb and I’m now 9stone 13lb and wearing a size 10/12. I couldn’t thank the team at Healthier Weight enough for keeping me going and for the advice they give us, their 24-hour helpline is great too!”
“Her husband is extremely grateful now that he has got the girl he married back. “She is no longer miserable with herself and grumpy, but happy to be seen and even appears in family photos again”*
“The feeling of being able to wear clothes I like and feel comfortable in is worth every penny I have spent on my band, I am happier, more confident and for the first time in my life the thought of weight does not dominate my mind all the time.”
It’s definitely changed my life for the better, and given me a new lease of life*
I did a lot of research and chose Healthier Weight because they had the best reviews on their website and the best feedback in all the forums – and believe me, I read them all.
I’ve started running and competing in competitions and raising money for charities. I’ve always wanted to do those things, but before I thought my weight would slow me down.
My health has improved significantly. My back pain’s better; my hair’s better; my skin’s better and I’ve got more life and more energy.
“With what I do, I see what families go through everyday having lost a loved one. I don’t want my family going through that grief and pain over me. I was made acutely aware of my own mortality and this was another turning point for me and confirmed what I knew before – I had to make a change before it was too late.”
I got to the point where I would stop looking at the size of clothes, but then one day I woke up and went to get out of bed but couldn’t. I was stuck and had to roll off the bed. I walked across and stopped in front of the mirror for the first time in years and I thought to myself, what’s happened?
