Oh lordy i do hope so Mandy. Been trying ti stay positive but honestly its been getting me down this last week. A diet of actimel and juice is not what i anticipated. No weight loss is worth living like this.....its miserable.
Hope things are going well for you.................Sorry ive not been in touch, we went away for a few days and have not been up to much since our return.
How was yr last appt?

Hi all, Just wanted to fill you in and apologise for not being here.
Had a lot going on...
after 2nd 'stretch' no change, still living on tomato soup, crackers, yoghurt, and anything 'sweet' when i feel desperate to actually feel im truly eating/ie chewing as opposed to just swallowing/drinking mush.
Need to go for a 3rd stretch but have refused it for the moment as im waiting for a biopsy for skin cancer, scheduled for 18th; and really cant cope with a lot more til i get this sorted.
On the whole, im in limbo... part of me has decided if this 3rd stretch doesnt work i need to give serious thought to having this reversed. The quality of life right now is ridiculous. Im exhausted all the time, moody, impatient with the kids and depressed. I lost more weight than this on my own ..obviously after several months i didnt keep it off but loosing weight naturally i was full of energy, eating healthily, and was happy and active. If things deteriorate further than im hoping with the op reversed there will be some support to help me loose and maintain.
Im not making any decisions yet of course; i need to find out the results of the biopsy first then the 3rd stretch and go from there. But one way or the other i need some quality of life back.......................

Unbelievable!! I cant believe your still suffering.. I know the vast majority of people who have surgery do not have these struggles but it useful for pre-op people to hear what can happen. Thankfully it is not often, you have been very unlucky Leigh. Your doing the right thing facing one thing at a time and I wish you all the luck in the world xxx

Wishing you all the very best for you biopsy, and that it's found to be nothing serious.

Thanks for the kind words all. All i can say about the biopsy is OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not a good palce to have injections and/or stitches. I got a ral shock when the consultant said it would take 3 weeks to get the results. I had previously asked the GP and she expected it to be 'a few days'. I know id we were in the states it would only be a few days. It's ridiculous in this day and age to have to wait so long.
Had booked my 3rd stretch in but the after the biopsy found i had to go get the results on the same day so have postponed it until afterwards.
Hope you are all well...
