Hello I'm Richard from Cheltenham Gloucestershire and my surgery is 9 th of October .. Be string and we are all in this with you ..

hi there i am Richard from the uk and i have my surgery for the 9th of October..nervous as hell as never been in hospital before...

hi all i am a 49 year old man in the UK (cheltenham Gloucestershire) with very little support and this website forum is a godsend..i have been on this battle all my life and at my heaviest was around 38 stone..i lost big chunks of weight and it always started to creep back on so 3 years ago after a relationship break up it was a lightbulb above the head moment and i decided i had had enough of being the fat bloke every one stared at and decided on wls and after 3 years struggle i have at last got my surgery date of October the 9th 2013 !!.. i have been on an 800 calorie a day diet for the last 2 weeks and have lost another 17lb but would not break that diet as too scared to eat as the nerves are beginning to creep in and yes a little doubt but i know without the vsg barrier the weight would return..i will be going into hospital on my own and have my pre op on the 2nd October..i have never had an operation or broke a bone or had a stitch and for a man of my size ( now around 26 stone) i am reasonably fit ..so any support from fellow strugglers or sleevers would be great as as i said im pretty much on my own ..thanks all Richard xxx
