Oh no I’m sorry to hear that, hopefully it will come round quickly for you xxx

Oh no, that sucks. At least it's not a massive delay but still annoying.

Hi @Teresa Smith. This group is great for support. I had my op at Walsall Manor so please feel free to ask any questions. X

Hi @Mollypop,

Thank you for message, finding it all overwhelming tbh, had my first weigh in Wednesday, not as much as o would have wanted, only 5lb, but I have dropped two dress size on top.

Also struggling at deciding which operation to choose, can I ask what you decided on and why?
