Starting Today

[nelson99]

Hi.

Today, after some considerable perseverance on my part, my GP agreed to refer me for possible surgery. One more appointment with her, then the real work starts.

Following post natal complications, I was an extremely thin child at a time when chubby kids were expected, so I was encouraged to 'Eat Up' at every opportunity. That was fine until my late teens when I went past sensible weight, and steadily put it on at a rate of about 2kg a year.

The prospect of a band or the chop is daunting, but everything else has failed, so it's time to bite the bullet

I had to push my GP a little to get referred but yesterday I got my first letter for hospital with the Bariatric Practitioner for a group session 7th Nov I'm thinking sleeve from what I have read and from the lovely people on here I think it would suit me best. But of course i will have to go by Surgeons advice. Well hopeing you hear something soon!
