I have mixed reviews I loved seeing Louise the dietician before she left but I don't get on greatly with the male one. But I really like all the nurses and the doctor last month was lovely. I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of the L&D team xx

I refuse to see Tom as he is rubbish. Heather is amazing so if you can get appts with her I would totally recommend it.
Thank you
It is not easy, but has been an incredible journey

Oh I'm not the only one then that makes me feel better I was at L&D in October and was speaking to a lady who wasn't every impressed by him either. I feel very unmotivated by him like he cannot be bothered give me a sheet and says follow that bye! If you don't mind me asking what procedure did you have? How long have you had it for? Was it extremely painful? What was the hardest part xxx

No, pretty much anyone I've spoken to isn't impressed with Tom. I complained though so I now never have to see him
He just gives off a cba attitude - it really is just a day job for him.I had the RNY gastric bypass. I am now 2 and a half years out. It wasn't painful, just uncomfortable really - gas pain mostly. My worry was coming out the other side, but they are so very skilled at luton. My surgeon was Mr Whitelaw who is just amazing. There are two really difficult bits - the first is liquids and sticking to it, and the emotional low after the op. THe second is actually at about 2 years out where losses are much slower and you have to work much harder to keep losing.

Yep that's the same way I feel, I was seeing Louise last year but she moved on to mental health :-( she was great xx
Oh that's good I was looking at the bypass but I'm thinking maybe the sleeve? I think I'll be ok with the fluids as I did Cambridge for a few months and that wasn't too bad.
I'm just looking forward to dropping enough to hit the gym. I used to be a size 14 but I used to work out at the gym 6 days a week but I put on 9 stone between having my children :-(.
I'm so hoping I'm accepted for surgery the more I read here the more I learn but I also get so confused :-s xx
thank you xx
