Thanks for the kind words ladys.Ye it has made a big diffrence to or lives im getting the kids to the park more and on the bikes and my oldest is starting to get more in to it.I dont want him growing up doing the same thing as me and learning the bad habits i have.I have also being going to the swimming with my youngest who i had to get swimming lessons last year as i was to embarresed to go in myself and teach him .But now i have a bit of confidence about myself and dont feel like a beech whale going in to the pool i have taught him how to dive .So for me the op was worth every penny and i only wish i had done it years ago.Im not going for my fill in glasgow tommorow as i dont think i need it the band is doing its job for me now.:thumbup:

Just thought i would let you know the diffrence the band has made to me yesterday .For the first time in years i went on all the rides at m&ds theme park where i live with the kids.I for years never went near them for fear of been told you dont fit and you would have to walk past everyone all embaressed.So what a feeling it was going on to the first rollercoaster and it fitting no problems with room to spare .I was like a big kid saying to the children lets go on this lets go on that.And what a diffrence it has made to the children as they have there dad to go on rides with rather than standing at the sides waveing to them and for me thats one of the reason for getting the band as i dont want my kids lives to pass me by without doing activitys that most people do .My port is a bit on the sore side right enough with all the shaking about .lol

Hi Bobo, that is such an uplifting post and thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. It's something that 'normal' people take for granted but is such a big deal for the likes of us. You thoroughly deserve the fun you had yesterday and bet your kids are thrilled having their dad participate. I have had a really rubbish day at work and then reading your words has made all the difference to my evening. Thanks again, Bigsis x

ps Anitahug (is it you who had a theme park ride 'incident' last week?) - take note, this will be you soon!

Lol, my photo! I was a little drunk there and appropriately dressed for the rock club i was at with friends lol At that time I felt much happier with the size i was, even though im aiming for a bit less now. Can't believe that was only last year. I slap on the chunk so badly and this is my attempt to stop me from overeating again

Well re the clothes, you should give me an idea of how much you'd like for them so you can go get new smaller ones! :wub: Suits arent cheap i know that and am happy to contribure to the slimmer Starsky fund.

Do you think its ok for me to have a chocolate bar before bed? It isnt tomorrow yet is it when im suppose to be starting the low fat diet :thumbup:

I haven't been out yet and got the milkthistle cos i didnt mention it on here before but im just getting over Swineflu and so havent left the house for a good while as ive been really quite ill. Id say im at 90% now and almost finished the antivirals. My doc says I should be fully recovered in a week or so - gosh i hope so given the ticking clock to Brussels now!

Bev XXXXX

Hi Bev, hope you did treat yourself to the choc bar last night?! Bigsis x

BoBo, I've just read your note and all the lovely replies from those people who have families too. I think it is fantastic that you can really enjoy your life again with your kids, I can't wait to be normal again, your story makes it so real.

P.S. Your photos look incredible, you have done so well, keep up the good work :thumbup: Want to see the next photo at 15 stone. You never know I might be able to see your ribs by then, Lol :wub:

The hotel is very clean but basic, a bit like a travel lodge, the staff are great, very friendly. Fred and Dr Chris were a lot younger than I expected, both very nice people. I would strongly recommend ayone thinking of going should book the package with Fred, it seemed to be much cheaper and we were all staying in the same hotel so we could give each other support. Shellangel stayed in another hotel and I have to say I did worry about her being all on her own. If you can you should take someone with you. One of the other girls arrived on her own but then called her husband to drive over and pick her up, you do feel week after the op. We all said that we would have liked to of stayed another night in the hospital. I've never been in such a clean hospital before. No one should be worried about the level of care you receive its the best, the staff speak english, theres no MRSA o swine flu, they dont een wear gloves when there touching you. Over her thy dont look at you without a pair of gloves on. They give you all the medication you need. I think the worst thing is the feeling of the port inside you.Its uncomfortable and hurts when you bend or sit and then get up, but it is easing today, the other wounds dont hurt at all. Dr C said the port takes about 3 weeks to heal. The ps not so bad, I'd definately go through it again. :thumbup:Hope this answers your question.

One question I have to anyone ........when does this b...dy gurgling stop. my stomache feels as though its having a party!!!!:wub:

Jackie,

Thanks for the update, sounds like a really good choice we have all made. You made it sound so easy, I dont feel anxious at all, you have made me feel quite relaxed about having the Op done, I hope I still feel that way in a few weeks time

Hope you feel better soon :smile2:

Bobo just seen your pictures they are terrific. No wonder you wanted to post them now, you look half the size you were. Well done your inspirational. Im going for my first fill today 61/2 weeks post op. I really need one but someone on this forum has advised me that as Im going on a flight which lasts over 4 hours I may not be able to get one. I really hope Wendy can put a little in just to start me off. Jx

Thanks for the kind words it is much appreciated.For me i could not really see the difference until i put the pictures up.

Thats me weighed in for the month this morning and i have lost 9lb taking me to a total of 6 stone 3lb so well chuffed with that.

So for anyone starting there journey or stuck on the same weight IT CAN BE DONE.

Never did i think last year i would start to feel so good about myself.The more weight i loose the more confident i feel.:w00t:

Good luck to Gary and the girls that are flying out for there ops tomorrow.

BoBo, your weight loss is a fantastic achievement, it gives me so much hope that one day I will lose that much weight also and feel so confident again !!

My last encounter with men was 5 months ago and I'm currenly not dating or looking for anyone because of how I feel and look, so the quicker the 11th Sept comes around the better and MAYBE after Christmas, I can go back on the market again !!!

I've signed up with Wendy at WLS for my fills. I've noticed that you have practically gone for a monthly fill. Is that by choice or was the timing right for you ? I though I could get my appointments booked in advance ? :sneaky:
