Hi,
I have finally summoned up the courage to join after reading many of your diaries and messages and thinking that maybe surgery would be the best thing I could ever do. I am thinking seriously about a sleeve and have already had an appointment with Mr Manuur, consultant.
The only thing that worries me is the 'staples' and what will happen to them over the next 40 years or so ( hoping to still be here then!! Am in my thirties)
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.
I have been on every diet you can imagine only to gain it back with a few extra pounds. Really want to start my life now and not let my weight control me forever!
Thanks everyone,
xx
