Graham's Real Success Story

Name: Graham Age: 60  Date operated: October 12th, 2007 Pre-surgery weight: 137 kg Current weight: 80 kg

In November 2006, I went on a fishing trip to Darwin & weighed in at 140 Kg. For some years, I had hovered between 130 – 140 Kg & had tried everything from soup diets to weight watchers. Whatever I took off, I put back on!

In May 2007, I was referred to Dr. Reza Adib to have a hernia removed. It was after this minor operation that Dr. Adib asked if I had ever considered “Lap Banding”. My immediate reaction was along the lines of “I’m not real keen on having my guts stapled together”.

Dr. Adib gave me some material & suggested I check out the website & come back with any questions. I did & after discussing the pros & cons with my family, I decided to have the operation.

This was probably the greatest decision I have ever made & in the past three & a half years I  have dropped to approx. 78 Kg. For the past 6 months, I have stabilised between 78 – 80 Kg & I seriously believe if I had not gone ahead with the Lap Banding, I might not be here today.

Thank you Dr. Adib! I exercise regularly & enjoy it, I still enjoy my cold beers on a hot day & I still eat many of the “wrong” foods – especially cappuccino!

I have no scars from the operation & the regular exercise certainly helps to alleviate much of the ‘flabby skin”.

My advice – “Go for it, if you want to change your life forever”. I really can’t imagine carrying around those extra 60+ kgs at this stage of my life!

Do you have any additional comments?

People need to realise that they too can get the same results as I have had simply by having the dedication & want that I did. I highly recommend the procedure as long as you are willing to make it work.
