I have my first appointment next week at the Spire and I have gained weight since I saw my Dr at Weight Management, 6 months ago..

On top of that I am carrying a lot of excess water and have been given water tablets by my GP recently.. my legs and ankles are so swollen.. I have had to stop wearing my wedding ring its so tight.. this again is adding to my weight..

Funding is in place and surgery should be within 6 wks of my first appt.

I'm worried they will see this weight gain and say I am not commited to this

Hi love x I cant comment on the weight gain as i dont want to build your hopes or dash them as i have no idea how this all works & didn't want to read and run! lol x I hope you start to feel better soon tho and wish you every success with the appointment and following surgery xx hope your well besides xxx

Hi! I'm under Doncaster and I also put weight on. I was so cross with myself. I was entirely to blame, I thought I was going to be losing a close friend in food after the op so o wanted to enjoy as much of it as I could! The hospital were a little disappointed and I had to lose some before getting another date. Don't give up and try not to sabotage yourself like me!!!! X
