Hello Everyone
Two event collided in my life to bring me here, I was made redundant, and then my Mum had a stroke.
I felt like the redundancy was to change my life, and then with my Mum's stroke I decided that it had given me the chance to have the funding and time away from work to have surgery.
After a couple of consultations over the last months and discussion with Sean Woodcock in Newcastle I have decided to go for the bypass and will be having it in May.
I already know that skin removal on the NHS here needs a BMI of 27 maintained for 2 years. I don't think that will be achieveable for me, so I am treating this as a two stage process. Have the surgery, lose the weight, give my body a chance to settle down, while saving for the skin removal.
I am looking forward to getting to know members here.
