Hi Emma,

Welcome to Minis. You will find all of the support and help here that you need. I am hoping to have my op in July as well, so hopefully we will have lots of stories to share.

Keep us all posted on your news.

hi and thanks for the replies,i must admit to be a little scared of the op but im also so excited i wish it was now now now but i guess we all feel like that.ive read some great diaries on here of people progress and also the tv show on home & health is great....its on tonight at 9pm so unless your sqeamish do watch it cause its a great incite into what we will all be having done.i have researched alot about the gastric bypass and have to say i do feel like this is going to be the very strict discipline i need to lose the weight,i have such a lot to lose and i know im way past doing it through diet alone.this site is great for encouragement and also to hear others perspectives on different problems and successes.im so glad i swollowed my pride and returned,even if it was as a failure i wont be for much longer thankfully.im looking forward to sharing my experiences with you all and hearing all about yours.thanks again for the replies it has made my day

well on monday nights at 9pm on sky channel 252 which is home &health is a programme called fat doctor,its a surgeon who specialises in gastric bypass in the uk and his patients and how they get on before and after,im lucky enough for that to be my surgeon can you believe that !!! my very own tv star doctor he is very good and i enjoy watching the show as well if you have that then try and watch it as its only about the gastric bypass and its very informative
ive got alot of weight to lose so im guessing its going to take over 12 months to lose it,its going to be a long road im looking forward to the journey im looking forward to letting out the slim sexy me :missing:
thanks for reading love for now

Hi Emma,

Wishing you all the best for getting ur date thru soon. theres no shame in falling off the lipotrim plan or any other plan. none of us are here because we found losing weight easy! we all need help and encouragement. as far as im concerned...u are still working on losing the weight so u havent failed at anything. look forward to seeing how u get on. xxxxxxx

Hi Emma
I meant me being online more than I ever had not you LOL, made me smile that one.

And I don't want to hear you saying about being a failure Mrs because your not ok, we've all been there and "failed" but it doesn't make us failures it just means that the diet wasn't right for us thats all.

I'm good thanks hun xx

hi karen,in kent the pct has a rule you have to wait 5 months from seeing consultant to having your op...although i was very frustrated at first im nearing the end of the wait now and expect to have my op the end of july or being of august at the latest.i had my consultation on the 29th feb so end of july is 5 months and surgeon said expect to hear towards end of june for appointment in july.arty0023:
