I weighed around 125 kg due to which my life was very miserable and uncomfortable. In addition I had osteoarthritis in my back which used to give me constant grief. I wouldn’t even go to swim with my kids because I feel very ashamed and inferior because of my weight. I tried lots of things in order to reduce my weight but never lost more than 10 kg of my weight. In Aug 2008, one of my friends has suggested me about Gastric Band Surgery and on Oct 2008 I had the surgery and within six-eight months I had reduced more that 40 kg of weight
