This is my story
Have always been chubby since the age of twelve but since having children at the age of 28 then again at 30 just cannot shift the weight, infact it doesn't matter what i do the weight just keeps going on. I admit my will power is almost non existant but i have given up trying as im fed up with always failing. I know i could eat less but i sometimes feel whats the point as it won't make a differance. I am a busy lady but so is everyone, walking my dogs 2-4 miles a day, working full time as a nurse and all the things that go with running a home with my husband and the 2 children and my husband truly does love me whatever shape or size i am. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 2 years ago and thought that i had finally found the answer to my problems but unfortunatly not as the weight carried on coming. I have spent the last 2 years having test with an endocrinologist to see if there was something being missed but all test were negative. After the last test was negative i had really had enough and went to speak to my GP who has always been very good, she asked what did i want to do now and i said i felt weight loss surgery was my last option and amazingly she agreed. She referred me to the PCT who very quickly agreed my funding. I have been refferred to the Ashford and St. Peters hospital under mr Horner. I have had my first meeting with a surgeon and i am now awaitng appointments for dietician, endocrinologist and psycotherapist. Hopefully when all is done they will agree this is the way forward for me but that won't be until sometime next year. In the meantime it would be helpful to spaek to people either going through the same process or who have done it already for support and advice
