"I got rid of the type 2 diabetes within 2 months of the operation"

Janice's Story

My life and  health prior to discovering Lapband® surgery was a mish mash of yoyo dieting coping with type 2 diabetes,high blood pressure and sleep apnea.

I would diet and lose a few kilos only to put it back on plus a bit more. This I saw as going on forever and my health getting worse. One thing I didn't want was going in to older age with this burden, I wanted to be fit and healthy so that I was able to keep up with grandchildren.

I then heard about an information evening for Lapsurgery Australia and thought I would attend, this was in my mind the last hope. This information session for me was like a light being switched on, it was definitely the answer.

Six weeks later I had my operation and have not looked back, sure there have been a couple of times when I have had difficulty with some food but re-educating myself (as to eating slower) has allieviated that problem.

I was 103kg and over a three year period have lost 51kg, I got rid of the type 2 diabetes within 2 months of the operation, the high blood pressure within 5 months and the sleep apnea took 8 months, I am now happy, healthy and enjoying life to its fullest.
