Hi everyone
i THOUGHT i was new here, went to sign up and was told my email address was already registered from two years ago lol!
Must have forgotten about it, anyway...
I am now 34 years old, 11 stones 5 overweight, diabetic, have PCOS,high blood pressure, mild liver n kidney damage from my diabetes, asthma, probable sleep apnea (get my sleep study results at the end of this month), high cholestrole, though not being treated for it... I also haveminor other things such as depression, restless leg syndrome, hayfever, anxiety, abdominal hernia, frequent migraines, frequent chest infections, joint pains etc
I have just been referred for surgery, and have my first appointment in august ( i think it is the 8th but I would have to go dig out the letter to find out lol)
I am SO keen on this, i wasnt a few years ago when first offered a referral. But since then I have tried the prescribed diet and exercise plans, orlistat, and anything else suggested by my docotor.
I have also just had a letter today to say my gp referred me for an 8 week dietician programme, unknown to me! he said it was a dietician referral but didnt tell me it was 8 weeks of group sessions, i'm nervous about going. I find it hard to go out and meet new people.
My main support is my partner, Amie ( yes, I'm gay!!!!! LOL) and my two kids.My partner and her family have all lost lots of weight, and are really supportive.
Well I think thats all for now, so hello (AGAIN - it would seem),am off to find a localsupport group, then i can get nervous about going to that too
