Hello Laura and welcome to the site. Lovely to have you here.


I've found keeping a diary really helpful, so I'm glad to see you plan to do the same.

You'll find lots of help, support, tips and advice on here, + a few laughs and the odd kick up the bum (in a nice way! LOL) when needed.

Best wishes with your journey honey.:welcome2::welcome2::welcome2::welcome::welcome::welcome::welcome:

Laura welcome! Congratulations on being brave enough to ask your gp for the advice, seems you're very lucky to have a supportive doctor

Hmm i don't want to burst your bubble but i think maybe your gp means it will be 2 - 3 months for your first appointment as there are people on this site who are at Heartlands and have been waiting for a bit longer than that...

However this isn't a bad thing (well okay it will be for you, i know how awful it is when you decide to take this step and are waiting..) as it will give you time to do all the research about the various surgeries on offer. It seems like you know what you want (which is a good step) and having a successful bypasser in the family will be a godsend to you. When you see Mr Super be completely honest about your eating habits and he will guide you in the right direction.

Wishing you so much luck and speed on your journey, i hope it's not long till you get 'your new life' and please keep us updated with all of your steps along the way. Diaries are so good for those who follow behind us to help them xx
