Monika Nilson had difficult years to stabilize
her weight, she received a gastroplasty, a surgical technique to place a ring
around the stomach. Result: 35 pounds lighter and the desire to "bite the
life to the full." She says.
Question: What are the elements that led you to
the installation of a gastric band?
Monika: After a significant weight gain due to
a psychological shock (family drama) during my adolescence, I lived regime for
years. They have produced positive results, but I regained systematically what
I had lost, and even more. So I was a victim of the phenomenon commonly called
"yo-yo". After ten years, I became obsessed with this psychologically
overweight, which ruined my life from all points of view: the problem of
clothing, eyes of others, altered libido, inability to look in a mirror, most
want out, playing sports ?? So I decided to take extreme measures to help me
lose weight and especially not resume. The goal was simply to give me the will
to live ...
Question: How did you experience this
intervention? And its aftermath?
Monika: The idea came from me. I was very
determined to undergo this procedure. That said, like any surgery, I dreaded
the acting out. Once made, the first step was passed. So in my mind I knew that
the biggest fight of weight loss began. The harder it is the first few days
after the operation because we dare not eat lest it hurts and it is still under
the effect of general anesthesia. Three weeks later, we are made to ring the
first swelling to reduce the volume of the stomach. If we follow all the
recommendations of the surgeon, there is no problem, it is an intervention
followed with very well-defined steps and especially checks regularly.
Question: Today, what advice would you give?
Monika: To perform this procedure, you must be
highly motivated and psychologically ready to fight and fight against yourself.
It is a method that works very well, but do not imagine you get there without
food efforts. You should know that it is a regime without psychological
frustration, since learning to know what it is to no longer have the hunger. I
therefore recommends that all great eaters who do not support this obesity,
which prevents you from sink your teeth life!
