Julie, 44, Shepparton

Past patient JulieJulie After

Julie knows first hand how obesity can affect your health. At her peak, Julie weighed 132kg and suffered from several health problems including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, lower back pain and reflux.

Frustrated with her ailing health, Julie researched her weight loss options and has since had great success with laparoscopic gastric banding.

“My weight has been a big issue for most of my life but within the first six months of having the surgery I lost 31kgs.

“My health has improved dramatically. I no longer have diabetes or suffer from back pain or reflux,” says Julie.

“Even my son is proud of me. He doesn’t mind going out with his Mum now!”
