Thanks!!!

So since im so excited and ready to start, and my appointment isnt till the Mar 21 i decided to start doing some healthy changes today.

Today i am 280lbs

No more sugar, bread, rice, starchy vegetables, Pasta etc.

This is huge cause there goes 3/4 of the foods i eat.

I hope so. Im so excited to start, but im afraid if i do ill screw something up and they wont do it

You weight training... A fabulous thing, but it will cause you to gain muscle... And you could be in a stall, i know you want to see more numbers on the scale, your excited to see the changes... But keep at it, maybe up your Protein you will see some changes, i figure mass is more important then weight.

Thats disheartening... Have you been tracking your inches lost... You may not see numbers on the scale but is there any inches lost, how are your clothes fitting?

You are going to do wonderful. You are a brave, and change is scary. This time next year when your flaunting your sexiness youll laugh about how anxiety almost took this away. I have it too, and its awful, but you arnt your diagnosis and you are worth it.

Congrats!!!!! Woot Woot!!!

Did you need surgery to get your stomach that flat

I guess there is only 1 surgeon at the QE2. Dr James Ellsmere

This is just the first appointment since i was referred. So other then being referred ive heard nothing. I tried to get referred to other clinics but since the wait times are so long they were refused.

The first appointment is with 50 people, a group thing. But i dont know what to expect after that.

Its not only the o2 monitoring its the fact that nail polish and tips and those things can harbour bacteria... No matter how much you clean them they arnt ever really clean... So some places wont let you do to the risk of infection... Trust me if you ever seen a staph infection in a surgical wound you'd understand where they're coming from. Where i work anything on your nails is completely banned, its simply not worth the risk to the patients or the risk to bring something home.

Im excited for you... Good luck!!!

Hey all,
