hello from Scotland

[hopefulmum]

Hey everyone, I have just stumbled across your forum and am so impressed by the community here already, I have not even posted yet! Well I guess I am now lol

I am really new to everything and looking for somewhere to speak to like minded people who have a genuine understanding and empathy for what struggles we all have.

I have recently had some health issues which have made me really want to get moving on my journey to a more content healthier me and have been to see my GP last week who has referred me to the Weight Management Clinic I believe in Glasgow. Thats really about as much information as i have thus far and hoping there maybe some folks here from Scotland that can shed some light on how it all works, as far as I know it works very differently here than in England.

That aside, i am 30 and a mum to one. Just have a major enthusiasm now for a healthier life, one where I can enjoy anything I want to do and not be held back by my weight. I want to live and experience all that life has to offer.

I hope you are all well and cannot wait to hear from you and get involved in what seems to be the ideal place for me

Hi there,
Welcome to the forum, there's lots of helpful advice to be found here if you look around, and if you don't find what you're looking for there's almost always someone on hand to advise you.
There are plenty of folk at different stages of the WLS process including a lot of post oppers who are all happy to share their experiences, both good and bad with everyone.
Lots of luck on your WLS journey
Em xxxx
