had my intial weight loss appointment

[charlie_pops]

was in there for 2 hours with the clincal psychologist. bet she wanted a cup of tea after me. filled in some questionnaires, she says i have a touch of depression but nothing to worry about as its related to my weight and thats what i was there for. she said im very head strong and was impressed that i had done research. i mention this forum and she was very impressed with all the support everyone gives each other. she said that i was a good candidate for wls and i would have to see how the 8 weeks go and there would be a seminar with a surgeon after the 8 weeks.

there was a few tears as well.

but all in all it was good to talk. now im just waiting for a walking shuttle test on the 15th then i will start my 8 weeks

Sounds like you are on your way, Charlie honey Hope all goes well with your walking test ... not heard of that one before, is there a specific reason for it? Are you asthmatic or something? Good luck, sugar xxx

 

[charlie_pops]

hi twinkle, no not asthmatic at all, she said its to test my fitness. seems abit silly as all i do is walk around nightclubs in my night job lol. i said i dont think my doctor likes the idea of me having wls and she said not to worry as her and the team will be behind me with a recommendation

 

[Fuffs]

I think it would be interesting to see how much your fitness increases. I like it lol

Ah well, just another hoop to jump through, that the powers that be deem fit to impose upon us (well you actually, lol) Guess as tests go its a pretty innocuous one, lol. I know my fitness has increased 10fold in the past 2 months so you should be pleasantly surprised. xxx
