I have only got about another five or six more weeks till my op, I will try to be more activie on here. I just love reading your messages and dont have much to add to your tales xx

I am going to get some pics of pre op and then hopefully every mth or so i will try to update them. Hopefully I will beable to share these with you. xxx

Thanks for the info, I must remember to print all the messages off, so that I dont forget all your great advise that you have all given me and everyone else on here. Thanks peeps ur great. x:smile2:

Hi every1, hope your all well. I was referred to my local NHS hossi in manchester Nov last year, to be told in Jan that there was no funding, my doc has since refered me to another hossi in manchester and yet again, no funding, the nhs funding for the op is defently post coded. If you are lucky enought to get the funding and a NHS hossi that will do the op, you will prob have to be put on the waiting list, which is between 1 to 2 years wait. I have now booked my app with doc chris in belguim, my operation is booked for may and I am realy excited, how we are going to pay for the op i dont know, but we will find the money some how. I have always looked after my kids and hubby and now is the time I look after my self. NB, I need to lose about 7 to 8 stone xxx

your messages are ace to read, loads of insperation to each of us, everything is so interesting, I realy enjoy reading your messages, your all doing so well. Please would 1 of you explain what a sweet spot is, lol I am getting more and more excited about my op each time I log on to here and read your stories.

How long did has it taken you to lose so much weight, your doing soooo well, well done, bet your so chuffed with yourself, keep it upxx

Hi, freckels, i gave up some around the 23rd of jan, I was on those tabs from the doc, chaponick or something like that, I had 4 weeks supply of then, and have not had a fag since,I wake up most mornings and feel like a smoke, I have been smoking for about 30 years, about 20 a day. I do find it hard, but I realy dont want to be a smoker, mainly because of the cost of smoking, I am so glad that I had the help of the tablets. You just keep up the good work, if you do have a smoke, just start again, you will do it good luc x Mandy

Hi, I am due to be banded 8th May by doc chris, I had looked and price in the uk, even tryed for NHS, but no luck, I got some info on Dr Chris then came on this site, got loads of realy good info and advise and booked direct with doc Chris, the best thing I did, I am realy looking forward to being banded x Good luck with your research.

Fatpants, So glad to see that you are back and feeling not 2 bad. When you are feeling a little better, you will have to fill us in on your op, step by step, what was the worse part, what was the best, what was the best advise that was given to you. Glad to hear your ok and making a good recovery Mandy xx

So chuffed re all the girls that have come home after being banded, all your weight losses are fanctastic. Glad that infills went well for the rest of you peeps.

P.S, Hope all goes well for every1s fills and operations, docs meeting, etc coming up xxxxxxx

Hi every1, so glad to hear all your good news re weight loss, etc. You are all doing so well, I am going to print off some of your messages off at work 2moz, if my boss goes out for an hour or 2, cause if he catches me on the internet he has a face on and starts to moan. Your info about what you all eat, the medican you take, the little things that you lot just take as chatting, is so helpfull to the likes of me, who is waiting for her op. I realy enjoy reading what everyone wrights and the information is so helpfull, thatnk you to each and every1 of you xx

Hi all, hope everyone is fine and well, Only 8 weeks to go for me, am all excited. Only 6 weeks before my pre op diet. Hopefully will be slimmer for exmas.

fatpants, you sound like you all sorted, try and chill with the kids and your hubby for the rest of the day. Have you got some reading material, some one mentioned that you may have some spare time but not beable to move about to much. x Hope all is well for your op, look forward to hearing from you as soon as you are well enought to post your mess on here x tc x

here's to the guy's who have kindly replyed to the mess should i be mad at my hussy for looking at porn, Your input was ace and educational, even though we know what you would all say !!!!!!!!!! thanks for your help and advice. Why bother what your hubby watches. Us women can walk into any ann summers shop, look on the web and there is always some form of sexual help, advicse for us, that is not looked upon as porny etc. That will give us the full satifaction that a man may not :thumbup:

Hi fatpants, I will be the same as you when my turn comes around. The problem with us women, is that we feel realy guilty that we are doing something for ourselfs, we are so use to looking after every1 around us, If we have a spare couple of quid, we think what we can get the kids, does anyone need anything, should I get the hubby a new jumper, we women always come last. I have decided that I have looked after the kids and hubby, my youngest is 14, and now it it me time. I want something for me and this time I am going to get it and that is what I keep thiniking. Yes I still feel guilty, but I am not going to let it pass me again, I am going for it this time. Hopeing all is well for you next week Mandy x

Hi all, Hope everyone,s well. Good luck fatpants for next week, thinking of you, MMM, yes booked direct, felt happer doing it that way, Booked the wrong airport though, lol, think me and hubby got over excited last nite with the thought of having the op, lol, will be taking hubby with me, he says he needs a weekend away !!! with all the stress I have been giving to him. He has been a star and has really suported me through all this. He is the best. I will now be mithering and going on about what I have to do to get ready for my op, there is no let down for you guys. Thanks again to all of you for your help and advise
