[Laura b]

I was blown away when I saw these on my news feed yesterday. A true inspiration and WLS success story. You're a beautiful young lady inside and out and I am so proud of you. If anyone has any doubts as to the effectiveness of surgical intervention coupled with the determination and effort of the individual, they need only look at your pictures to have those doubts blasted away. Well done young un you're a star a chuffin gorgeous star

Arrrrrr Karl bless u this is so nice of u to say, iv learnt from the best and with the support of u, sam (sambucca) and all the others iv done it iv acually got to a healthy size/weight (well healthyish) lol.... Wen I first had this I thought great I don't need to work hard this will just happen from having the op how wrong was I ok at first it did drop of but wat was I learning then? I was still eating crisps wen I fancied them, chocolate followed by being sick wen I wanted I thought wat the heck am I doing, knuckled down, concentrated on making healthy choices and exercised hard like I still do, bcus I know the most successful bypasses like urself and Sam have also done this and that's wat make it a success..... So thank you for it support/kick up the arse wen needed, ur honesty, and advice because I think I can spk for many wen I say this ur fab love having u as a friend Karl my weight loss family u all r xxxx

You look fabulous! If it is not too cheeky, what do you weigh now? I am finally into the 14's (stones) but only just...been a hard slog working out what calories to eat, how much exercise etc if I rock the boat I stall, for weeks and months even but think I am getting somewhere. Two months to I am a bridesmaid, fingers crossed I can get into the 13's by then!

Said it before and will say it again Laura, you are my inspiration! You were always beautiful anyway but what a figure you now have!! Congrats on your success and your one year mark. x

Oh, meant to ask...what is the Facebook group called ?

I mean every word Laura!

I found you on Facebook...looking beautiful with your partner and two lovely boys? It is not giving me the add as friend option.

I hardly use Facebook now but on my main account is a bunch of nosey people who do not know about my op...remembered my old account in name of Em Lm (White dog profile pic).don't ask me why I chose that! Going to use that and start adding people and weight loss surgery groups...can say what I like there without being judged! Will try and get some pics up when I get near my laptop. Maybe you can find me on Facebook?
