Before collect of Gemma Marmalade when she was 25st. A super slimmer has shed nearly half her body weight in just a year after she had her gastric band removed. See Masons story MNLOSS; Gemma Marmalade, 37, signed up to Weightwatchers on December 28 last year because she knew something needed to change in her life. After years of unsuccessful dieting the university lecturer weighed a dangerously unhealthy 25 stone. It was causing her blood pressure to skyrocket and she knew it was only a matter of time before her health seriously deteriorated. She had previously had a gastric band fitted in 2008 on the NHS after her GP referred her. But she didn't find it effective and after putting on three stone in the 12 months following the procedure she had it removed in early 2010.
