I think I am addicted too! I am in UK no support groups here where I live in Wales so its Bariatric Pal to the rescue. Some posts make me laugh out loud, others make me want to weep they are so sad. So thanks to all the people who I read about and their messages, far too many to mention individually but please everyone, keep on posting!

Yes the old big bras have got to go! I started out at 42 DD and surgery date 16 th July 2015, got measured professionally 23 October and now a 36 g or double g depending on make and style of bra. Am I happy yes and no, but my three new bras are beautiful and tho I say it myself I look good in them !

Well done looking rather lovely in that suit sir

Well done on your weight loss and your upbeat mood ! Totally agree about the target weight just go at your own speed and you will get there . It's 15 weeks today for me and I've lost over 4 stone and I feel great . The sleeve certainly lets me know if I am eating too much . If I am away from home I do my best to make a healthy choice and to date no alcohol has passed my lips !

Well done

Well done on reaching onederland

Well done it's a fabulous feeling

Thanks wing fan it came off quite quickly at the start now I'm around 2 or 3 lb a week. Just so happy it's coming off !

OOOh don't know not a rugby fan, but I will be cheering on for Wales if they do !!

Hey well done on the shorts. I am m in Pembrokeshire West Wales and its pretty cold here. Went to Oz 4 years ago and motor homed from Darwin down to Sydney, what a trip!

Thank you everybody. Looking at the stats we are all doing well. Maybe this time next year it will be 100lbs for me!

Apologies to any Simply Red fans out there! Reached the fabled Onederland today, so very very happy to say that, and also have lost over 50 lbs too. Im a slow loser had my op 16th July 2015 but Im so glad I'm a sleever. Good Luck to us all

No it's not the same hospital or doctor but I think that you will be in good hands. I found all the staff and surgeon to be kind considerate and competent at the job. I only had a bit of gas pain and on mentioning this I was given pain relief. Would I recommend them yes I would. Good luck to you x

That is just how I weigh, you must have a camera in my bathroom, you will see some sights there!

Well done you!

Hi no milk today where abouts are you. I'm in Pembrokeshire paid privately . Haven't found anyone remotely near me yet . Had my op 16 July this year so plodding on slowly but surely . This is a great website

Elide That's a brilliant comment!

I tried eating with my left hand this morning, it's slower bust quite frustrating. The wetabix never tasted so good as when I got it to my mouth. A good tip indeed.

Oh that's a good tip about eating with the non dominant hand. Will try that today

Hi back from holiday in Cyprus and happy to say I lost weight whilst there ! Three stone thinner than when I visited in May too. So glad I had this surgery. It's great to see that you are flying along with your weight loss. I am slow but steady so I'm hoping this will continue. Dined out last night but took a container with me and brought home what I did not eat. Might as well get the value as you are paying for it! So far I have stayed away from sweet stuff and no alcohol has passed my lips since early July. Never thought I would say it but not bothered if I ever have it again. All the best to you and any other UK sleeves reading this

You will have to keep busy and just focus on a date in November. A real pain having that cancellation as I think you gear yourself up for a certain date, I know I did. Hope you get your date very soon

Good luck to you . I was sleeved back in July and I can honestly say it's the best thing I ever did. Whereabouts in Ireland are you, I am Pembrokeshire right by where the ferry comes in from Rosslare Keep us posted you have found a great website in bariatric pal

I would deffo take a kindle and a chapstick. loose pants for going home and a pillow for when you are coming home so that you dont jerk your stomache and new sleeve around too much!

Well done you must be so pleased ! Will think of you as I do my best to swim away some pounds in Cyprus next week

Hi great blog glad u have put a toe in the water for the forum ! The sleeve will be the best thing u ever did . You have fantastic support from your hussyband so you will walk it ! All the best Chris in Pembrokeshire west Wales
