    Private barium swallow or endoscopy

My surgery was in Turkey and they've said they will do the tests and any 'fixes' there if I want and I'm...

    Slow start

    They didn't comment on it being good or bad... Ive lost another 3lb so I can see that it's coming off, I think we all probably worry that we will be the one that it doesn't work for!

    James cook seminars

    I have a friend who emailed them and they said there must have been an administration error, so think I may do the same as she got an appointment through for end of March. I've lost weight but am really struggling to carry on as there is no end in sight as of yet.

    James Cook help?

    No I haven't, will order it now I think! I did have a look at some books but they all seemed to focus on the surgery itself, head hunger is going to be the struggle.

    James Cook help?
