Miss Flump

This is such a good thread. I'm getting banded on 23rd December and the things I won't miss about being obese include: * Being mistaken for being pregnant * Being given dieting advice from slim people * Having a bigger appetite than most people I know * Eating very quickly and people commenting on it * Having three wardrobes full of clothes but only wearing the same three pairs of trousers, because everything else is plus size, but too small!!!! * Shying away from heels, because they hurt the balls of my feet. * Walking down the street, having people stare at my stomach and then unconsciously rearranging their clothes. (anyone else notice this one?) * Sweating * Not liking what I see in the mirror, especially in my bra and knickers * Heavy periods * Snoring * Sore hips and knees * Not having to shop in Evans all the time and pay their bloody expensive prices. I'm sure there's more. xx

Hi there Alfie, I am a 31 year old female from UK who is flying to Brussels on 22 December to get banded. I fly home on Christmas Eve!! I am nervous but excited. I can't wait to start this new journey. I've never been slim, so am extremely curious about what the future holds after being banded. It would be sooo nice to be in a healthy weight range for the first time in my life. Hope you're well. Miss Flump x

Hello everyone, I'm Miss Flump and I am getting banded by Dr De Bruyne on 23rd December. Only problem is that I have to fly home the next day, rather than stay in the hotel for an extra day, because of Christmas. I must be mad. Is anyone else getting banded around the same time? Would love to get chatting if you are. I'm looking forward to shedding some of the 6 to 7 stone I need to lose, but not looking forward to making my way back to the airport if I'm in a lot of pain. Hope to speak to you all soon. Flumpy x x
