Meet the lovely Katy
35 years old
had band fitted 18/10/21 after hitting her highest weight and admitting that she needed help
Had Nic as her nurse originally - lost 5 stone - great progress!
A few personal bereavements early on in Katy’s journey set her off track regaining 2 stone
Back feeling mentally and physically fit, well and stronger than ever, seen Nic advertised on Facebook and reached out

2nd Assessment
No issues since our last assessment. Great to see band now helping with portions and hunger more.
Katy was glowing and feels like she has regained control again, almost like when she had the band - accepted mentally that she has to work with it and not against it
Taken on board all what was discussed and excited by the possibilities that the future holds
Weight today 170kg
Portions, less that what there were but still over side plate, hunger variable
Great to see the efforts in challenging snacking, being consistent with meals and batch cooking
Reporting more energy, up earlier, restarted gardening again, walks
Small adjustment today advised 0.5ml added taking band to 7ml
Fluids observed - 2 days fluids then soft diet before weaning back to textures
To continue to work and progress with 20+ rule, monitoring portions and hunger, to continue to set realistic goals, take small steps and enjoy the ride
Review in 1 month planned - keep up great work !
Keep tuned in to see next months progress :-D
