Hi luv there just happy if you have been on your machine i had to take mine down to surgery with me as they said i had to have it on straight after surgery but they didn't put it on me as i was on oxygen, but to be honest I think they all do different with each person, its all up to the anesthetist as he is the one that put you to sleep if he happy it goes ahead I saw mine the morning of the op and he wasn't concerned about it, try not to worry love if they said its march it will be fingers crossed. Oh and I didn't use my machine once while in hospital as i was on oxygen. I would ring up the sleep clinic where you went and ask them if they know roughly when you will get your machine then at least you have an idea, i remember DR Raj chasing things up for me. Good luck and please ask me anything you want if i can answer i will lol I'm still new to all this xxxxxxxxx

Hi luv,
A stone is so good I'm only 5'3 and i weighed 23 stones i think Ive lost about 3 stones now since op 17th December but i see Vicki next week so i will know for defo. I didn't have severe sleep apnea but they wanted me to have the machine as i had all the effects from it. Dr Raj i found really nice must of been having a bad day when he saw you i had a good laugh with him but i have a good laugh with everyone lol . I know what you mean about starting living again i wont lie to you I found the first month really hard I still am a few tears at the beginning as i was in pain and really down but it was over Xmas, I'm getting there slowly cant eat hardly anything and meat cant tolerate it chicken if soft but just a little cheese i love and can handle that i get my protein from that and milk at the moment Ive just started to be able to have a slice of wholemeal toast with peanut butter but have to chew ever so well. I still cant get used to leaving food on my plate but my head is catching up. I have so much to look forward to this year and I'm looking forward to getting some nice outfits for my grandsons christening before I would have dreaded going to do s but I'm so looking forward to it now and its in June so hopefully will have lost more xxxxxxxxx

Hi Luv I think its coming off dint know how fast as i dint weigh myself I'm not going to get into been obsessed about how much i weigh any more, i feel really full quite easy but today I have felt a little hungrier than usual think it coming up to time of month, but just because my head says I'm hungry body says no to food lol really weird it is, but I'm sure I will get my head around it eventually. I am just happy to lose whatever my body wants to get rid off I feel the benefit already I'm not in as much pain and I'm moving allot better so roll on end of year when I am smaller and can do much more thats what I'm looking forward to, I know its weird but to take all my curtains down wash all windows all in one day instead of one curtain then I'm knacked lol xxxxx
