A yr ago today I went gastric band to bypass after a few yrs of mulling it over. Gas for enough stuff and it probably makes you think about things a bit more, you can basically set up a trip advisor equivalent.

I corrected someone on here a few wks ago who called it a quick fix, I know unlike me to have an opinion
. I’d say it’s anything but. More about recognising that there is a scary permanent option that involves not being morbidly obese.

It remains one of the hardest but best things I’ve done. Quick fix? Fuck. Off.
Anyway, if you’re bored, here are some of my ‘one yr on’ reflections.

Biggest lesson:
Turns out if you’re not a knob and actually tell ‘your people’ it’s much easier and less stressful. Who’da thunk it?
No doubt it’s not for everyone but it’s been a great decision for me so far and MUCH easier than the band ever was.

40kg down since last June and 60kg(!) down since Jan 2013, so here’s an obligatory few yrs ago and now.

Given recent months I think it’s fair to say we all have things that scare us, it’s how we deal with them that matters. Reading back my difficult bits and observations over the past yr, mine mostly involve anxiety about other folks perceptions and opinions.
Perhaps something for us all to consider in future for life in general. So fuck everyone else and do what is right for you. 
Right, I think that’s all the fluff folk can cope with from me for the next 10yrs so #ForbesOut
