Hi Julie and:welcome2: to minis. Why not start a new thread and introduce yourself on there. Which area are you in and which surgery are you considering?
hiya,
i went to the doctor about my infertility and i no that if i lost weight my chances of becoming pregnant would increase dramatically....
i said i keep trying with diff diets, works for a few weeks then i give up...he suggested WLS!

i went to see bariatric nurse, and i decided to go away and try dieting on my own.........went to dietician at GP's , she gave me xenical.... after two months it really wasnt working so went back to nurse.....now iv got my appt on weds with consultant...hopeful to have a band fitted in Nov!!

I decided upon having surgery after getting to a point where I was too big to exercise, I was starting to want to stay in all the time, all I was doing with the kids was taking them somewhere and sitting down and letting them amuse themselves. School friends were starting to take the pee out of the kids. I was struggling to go anywhere and feel comfy. I don't want to go to peoples houses and take my shoes off because I couldn't get them back on without a struggle!
I also wasn't getting any younger. 38, the mind of a 25 year old, the body of, well, forget that bit!
Plus, for once, being blissfully happy with my partner and life in general!
I had never had a long term relationship until I had met my present girlfriend. I'd gone through life living by myself, loads of failed relationships etc. I've now being with my present girlfriend over 4 years. You know when you're with someone, you know they are the one don't you? There's just something about it. Contentment! Anyway she has 3 children. I know I talk about them as mine, but that's because I treat them as my own. The girls, aged 13 and 11, their father has them once a week at his for tea, he's never paid a penny and never takes them anywhere. Stephen, 6, lost his dad when he was about 6 months old. He knows his dad is up in heaven, so I'm the father figure in his life. I don't ask them to call me dad, or even say I am their step-dad. Although they have taken it upon themselves to call me that! We don't live together, but we spend a lot of time together.
When we first got serious, I told them I would take them around the country as they had never been taken far. So far we have done Scotland, Wales, Cornwall including Lands End, London, Norfolk and all the places in between. We go camping. Off for weekends here and there. But getting the tent up and down was getting hard work. My better half had to get the pegs in and out as I couldn't bend down comfortably!
So I'm going on here!!
Anyway, I suppose the main reason I went for the op is that I want to live, I want to have more and more fun with the family!!! I was under no pressure from my girlfriend, she loves me as I am/was (at least that's what she said) but I made the decision myself. Although if it wasn't for my girlfriend and kids, I probably wouldn't have done.

Arrrrrrr mixman what a lovely story. You deserve to be happy. I go camping myself in whitby "not far from you" as many times as i can. No kids they have grown up and left home. Hubby has to put the tent pegs in too, but i intend helping him next year.
