hello one more newbie

[gman]

ive been overweight for all of my adult life i was very active as a child so i think that kept my weight down ive always loved most sports and played football and rugby up until 23 then since that ive tried every diet going and the same as most people here never managed to keep going.about 8 years ago i started a new job as a taxi driver and my weight just kept going up in five years i put on 8 stones.i then got myself a personal trainer and managed to lose half of that in 6 months due to cost and new job was unable to keep it up and it just went back on again.i have now booked in to see about gastric bypass and change my life forever

Hi gman,

Welcome to MiniMins!

I moved your post to the Surgical Weight Loss Forum as I am sure someone will be along shortly to say hello and perhaps be able to tell you about their experience.

If you need any help Please ask.

Hi gman welcome to a fellow Glasgwegian. This is a great place to be for advice and support. I had my bypass 9 weeks ago and it really has been life changing in such a short time all for the good. Where in Glasgow are you and are you hoping to get surgery on nhs xx

 

[gman]

thanks to everyone for the warm welcome i met with dr stuart at ross hall hospital 10 days ago with the intention of getting a band as have not even considered a bypass but after going over the pros and cons i think the bypass is for me.He wants me to lose 2 1/2 stone first so met with dietician last week and very confident that it is possible so hopefully can get bypass before christmas.I meet up with dr stuart again end of october so fingers crossed i can keep up the exercise and diet
