[Islay]

Due to having a few issues I had to go back to the Surgeon's office today for a short check up, it has only been 12 days since my last weigh in!!
Well stone the crows I have lost another 6lbs!! taking my total to 111.32lbs!!!
I am in shock!

congrats, Islay, hope that you don't need any cosmetic as to skin etc...but wow...do you feel better, more energy etc etc??

[Islay]

My NHS trust does not carry out any bariatric surgery.
DTC I will need further surgery but I may go to Poland for that as it is a lot cheaper but just as good - so much more energy walk several times a week, swim twice a week 50 lengths a time.

Well done you ❦

Islay, you cannot end up weighing less than me!

No chips for me tonight. :-)

I bet it's like a new lease of life. You are doing amazing. Let us know when you reach your target weight Islay x

Thanks Islay, didn't realise it was a postcode lottery thing with weight loss surgery.
//some will say it should not be available at all on the NHS//
It most certainly should be. I struggle with my own weight issues (not enough to warrant surgery though) but people need to realise that certain conditions arnt always 'self inflicted' and as you say, they often save millions in the long run.
Enjoy your new 'you' Islay. I'm pleased for you :-)

I am already looking so different as some of my face book friends will have seen - loving my new life - thanks all

Woohoooo! Well done, you. Have you got much more to lose?

Are you eating proper meals?

[Islay]

Oh dear what happened there - how can an answer be removed on this type of thread?
Baldric thank you for your kind words.
HC no - 1 fish finger and half a floret of cauli with a teaspoon of cheese sauce fills me up totally.
