You just keep thinking postively. Don't stop until you get where you want to be. Sleep well x

Hi Chrissylynn80 Its been many years since I have posted on here, but your post has just hit out at me. I'm sitting up, in the middle of the night in Scotland UK. You have a massive family here at Bariatricpal - and I'm pretty sure that each one of us can relate to how you are feeling at this moment! You simply can not give up - and as the other lady said, you must get a second, even a third opinion if you come up against a door that first appointment you have. DO NOT GIVE UP! I thought that it would never happen to me - they put me on new diets - meal packets - that they were using as a trial, I truly felt like a guinea pig - but I did it. It took me a full 6 years to get the sleeve done, from going to my doctor in the first instance, to going through those theatre doors. 6 years is a long time when you are struggling with weight issues and 3 young kids, to me it did feel like a lifetime, but sticking with it was what had to be done - and I got there in the end. Thinking of you - and virtually throwing all my available willpower your way. Please don't be giving up - you owe this to yourself x

Thanks, this is really interesting. Much appreciated

When was your surgery Angela? Well done on feeling so good
