Hi hun, I am 11 months post-op and although a bit of thinning, still have lovely hair - and other benefits far outweigh a bit of thinning xx nasty jealous girl xx

Wow you look wonderful. Remember chatting last year when I was on regularly. I am up to 8 stone loss or thereabouts now - loving life and cant believe the difference a few months makes xx keep it up - and isnt it great to shop in "normal" shops!! lol xx

Hi guys - wow, cant believe I havent been on here for 5 months!! Just had a lovely hour reading through the threads and updating on how you all are. I do apologise but been a lot going on with hubby and job since Christmas which has taken over our lives xx I am now 11 months post-op - not quite...

Mmmmm? Not sure "Gary" and "Normal" should ever be in the same sentence!!!! Seriously though, you look fab, and I had the same feeling today as I shopped in Asda with my little girl and saw tops in my size for a tenner!!! Me, buying off the peg and just spending a tenner is unheard of! Not...

You have done the right thing, if you can afford it!! this is not called a life changing operation for no reason - it really does change your life!! Stay focussed on the end result!! Good luck x

Hi, I suffered from terrible back pain, and have one swollen leg from previous cellulitus which has damaged my drainage in that leg. My leg is still bigger than the other and probably always will be but is half the size it was, and I love to walk everywhere now, when before I was the one who sat...

I have been for my second follow up since op back in May. My official weight loss on their scales was 5 stone 8 which is less than my scales say but then the nurse told me I had lost 43% of my excess body fat! So why do I focus on - "still got 57% to go!" - if I had lost 5 stone 8 in 5 months...

Aw, thinking of you Bexs, and the other guys. I bypassed (pardon the pun) the puree stage - couldnt stomach it and stayed on my lovely soup (helps that my sister is a fab cook) but wishing you all the best. Will be a very distant memory in 5 months like it is for me xx

Oh that's defo me Gary - where would I be without my text buddy xx

I entirely get where you are coming from - I also have a very nosey, gossiping mother and I also didnt want many people to know. I told her in no uncertain terms that if she were to tell anyone I would never trust her again and she should respect my wish to keep my operation private if that's...

Look at all the sympathy you are getting when really its just you being bored when you are away and seeking out those poor innocent new nurses (a nurse in every town??) - got your number PG!!!!!

Hi Bexs, I can remember gagging at the puree stage - I preferred soup and stayed on soup - cant be doing with mushy food at all! Now I am on "normal" food, as they say, it does make you laugh - I do 3 dinner plates for the family and my little side plate - yesterday I had 1 fishfinger and 2...

Its a great feeling when that happens. I said Hi to someone the other day who I used to work with and he smiled politely and then as he got close he said "Ruth, is that you?" - I laughed and said "who else would it be?" and he was so lovely and complimentary - made me feel like a super model (I...

Think me and you should do a video Gary - what a laugh that would be but afraid I might end up with a couple of black eyes xx

JUST FAB!! AS ALWAYS xxxx

Cant believe PG isnt up for the challenge - come on!!!!!

Fab news Bexs - knew you would be fine xx time to start watching those pounds disappear xx lots of love x

Just PM'd you but want to say again - GOOD LUCK!! the view on this side is pretty amazing!!

Glad everything went well for you both. Take it easy over the next couple of weeks and get plenty of rest and fluids xx

I would have deleted the comment and said nothing - sometimes less is more and makes a big statement!!! You are going to begin the best journey of your life tomorrow and you wont look back!! I have had my one allowed "blip" and am back and focussed now - you have lots of friends on here who are...
