This is my story
Hi I'm Cynda I have Mild Cerebal palsy
I had a hystrectomy in 1995
I had a mild stroke in 2002
Ummm let's see..I've had cancer scares , I've had my back go out, I gained about 8 stone and ballooned up to 21 stone 9. and had a heital hernia and was told bascially YOUR too fat no body will operate on you... I said OH YEA watch me...and I fought for 18 months but I WON the battle....I got the surgery..I had an intestinal tear, and a hernia up under my stomack for 8 months...post op surgery..I went to the local hospital 15 times in and out in and out....they didnt know anything about bypass surgery ..real confident when you go into A&E and say I had gastric bypass surgery and they look at you and go YOU DID WOT?? WOT'S THAT?? SOOOOO After being put in an ambulance and sent back to Leeds..to lovely Mr Dexter...sorry dunno if I can mention him but I did.. anyway..he patched me up...then I had sevear eating issues..See everytime I ate anything before the 2nd surgery I barfed/Vomited. and mind said YOu eat your gonna be sick..and body said OH NO..don't eat..so I went as far down as 7stone..and they doctors threatned me EAT or have a feeding tube..OK ...so they told me go home ..go back to OHIO USA and see your mom and family and recoup. which I did..and came back with the idea OK..if you can't get to a support group..MAKE ONE..so I did.. but ..My group is diffrent a touch..IT is not a surgery support group..it is an Obesity Support group. I help people to inform them of HEALTHY OPTIONS to lose weight and give them courage to talk to their GP'S or try to anyway...Our group is a SELF HELP group. everyone brings their experiances..No matter if they have had surgery or not. weightwatchers, slimming world what have you..YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME.
I MUST stress I am not medically trained......but I DO CARE... I am OBSESSED with the idea of getting Obesity awareness KNOWN.. and I allow spouces and children and families of big people to come to my group I encourage it ... I also am happy to support anyone..doing anything saftely to lose weight.... means GO TO THE DOCTOR and get advice before doing any sort of lifestyle changes.... DO NOT say DIET no no no no no no no! !!!! Diet is a naughty word...I forbid it !!!!! Lifestyle Change !! Diets do not work !!! LIfestyle changes do.
