Carol

In 1999 my husband and I moved 2 hours north east of Toronto to cottage country and opened a fine dining restaurant. Being an accomplished chef, my husband had always worked outside the home. However, the restaurant was now our business and our home, so I found myself around food constantly. I had to sell it, serve it, help prep it, and clean up after it. Being in this environment and trying to adjust to a country lifestyle, I quickly gained 140 pounds. I was overwhelmed. I felt like the battle to lose all this weight was beyond me and my health was in great jeopardy.

In June of 2006, I decided to get Slimband. Outside of marrying my husband, being banded was the best thing that ever happened to me. I lost all my excess weight at a safe pace with very little complication, and I have maintained that loss for more than 2 years. Now, at age 58, I feel fantastic in my new body, healthy and extremely happy. If I had to do this over again, I would in a heartbeat!
