Why did you have to declare it? surely now you're not morbidly obese your health is better! Mine is!

Hi Kate, I had my gall bladder out a week ago and it sounds like it to me! Mine never showed up on an CT scan or xray but they did on a ultrasound scan, I had "well over 20" stones!! I ate a coctail sausage roll last night and the same pain flared up again! I thought it would be gone for good :(...

Hi sorry taking so long to reply. Yes I had it out laprascopically, I went back to work as a window cleaner yesterday, i had it done a week ago today. My recovery has been very quick, all my wounds are well healed just a bit of discomfort from the bruising. Hope you'res goes as well.

Yes, surely you aren't taking ibuprofen? It's only ok very short term along with a ppi like lansoprazole to protect your gut. You need to get that looked at. I am allergic to loads of pain meds so cant take anything useful now except codeine, which makes me feel drunk! Having no choice but to...

for me it was 6 weeks, 2 on fluids, 2 on purée, 2 on mashed then normal.

You can increase the amount or type of food you eat, but generally, weightloss slows anyway and the last few lbs are hard to shift.

A great one is, did it work!!! Well, I am over 10 st lighter, what do you think? And Chrisa, I think you'll find that a band is not a "Short term thing" The difference is that they can be removed if necessary, and they are adjustable. They were not intended as a short term measure.

Woweee!! Look at you!!! Sexy biatch!!! You look amazing!! xxx

I believe that as long as you are usingf the cpap you can go ahead with surgery, also it's classed as a co-morbidity so you are more likely to qualify!

Not immediate family as i am the only one who was big, but my cousin is on her journey through the system now, she and I have always battled together with our weight. Also a friend who has severe health problems is due to see the surgeon soon, and another lady I have known since I was a child...

Well done Caren, you really had to work for this and I am so pleased for you xxx

I just wore leggings from Matalan, they are really long in the body so fit bigger sizes, with a baggy top. Also they were comfy to travel home in. In fact I lived in leggings for the first few months as everything got so big, so fast! GL xx

mine was 4 days before my op, got both dates together with 19 days notice!

Well done Kate, you look fab too. I had my op 3 days before you and I am only 4lb from target too. What a great year this has been xxxx

I know it isn't for everyone, It scared me too, but in a year I have gone from size 30 to 12/14. Lost over 10st, come off all meds for pain, high blood pressure, GERD etc, cut down to one metformin a day, can run, sit on any chair I want, dance with everyone else, go into any shop and buy...

Unfortunately it's a side effect of weight loss! I don't think many people get to keep nice firm boobies! Mine went from a 46/48G to 36 F/G so while the cup size isn't much different , they have no substance, if I cup them they slip through my fingers lol. I would still rather have saggy girls...
