Hi All

I am just starting on my journey, I had my 1st consultation with Dr Ashton at the healthier weight centre on Sunday. My partner was very hesitant about me having surgery he thought it was mind over matter and that I should just go back on a diet take regular exercise and start taking Reductil again, all that changed after talking to Dr Ashton & has agreed to support me in my decision (yey)! I am definately ready but I am also feeling really nervous not sure how i will cope without food lol.
