This is my story
Me, my babble, my hopes, my fears, my moans, my cheers.
My story? well lets start at the begining....I don't honestly think there is a single photo of me where I am not overweight, even before I could walk. I blame the parents ;-P
But seriously, it has just gone on and on. I decided dieticians werent for me at the age of 12 I think, when I was told not to go on a diet, but to grow instead. I don't really feel that they have said anything anymore help ever since (sorry, should't tar everyone with the same brush).
Anyway, got out of control and at a whopping 23stone I finally managed to get my GP to help me. In fairness the consultant at my hospital was great and referred me to his colleague who is a bariatic specialist. To cut a long story short, a year later I lost year 2 stone and now I HAVE A DATE for my bypass op, fully paid for by the NHS so that is one worry gone.
The next worry is the op itself. I am as scared as I am excited about what is to come. It's all or nothing now. This coincides with my divorce so this really is all about me! woohoo! Predictably though I am piling the weight back on, 600 times the speed it came off. If nothing else it convinces me I need this op. But the practicalities, like time off work (my boss and I do not get on, we have one of those relationships where if someone else does something then it's ok, but if it's me, then it's not), dealing with this on my own, facing the reality of being stuck in hospital longer than necessary cos they might not let me out as I live alone and have no family within 200miles and the thought of leaving my cats - ohhhhh help! Where's the gin???
But then what?
The gorgeous and I hasten to add skinny, salsha68 talked to me about all her achievements and knowledge of the whole thing, recommended this website, and here I am! I figured I can prop you up and you can prop me up, preferably with cookies ;-)
