[Mark01/05/2009]

Morning all,

My names Mark, I am 21 and from Manchester. I had my bypass on 1st May 2009 and weighed in at 26 stone 2 llbs. I now with 19 stone 2 llbs and have gone from BMI of 47.0 to 34.4 so far.

I have read through alot of your posts before becoming a member and I think the advice and help you all give people both pre and post op is fantastic and I would now like to help others aswell.

I look forward to getting to know you all soon.

Hi MARK
welcome to minis, congratulations on your fantastic weight loss so far. I live in Glasgow but i had my op done privately at Spire Manchester by Mr Ammori, in fact i'm back down there on the 30th Sept for my check up. It's lovely to have you on board and nice of you to offer your support too xx

I had my op done by Mr Ammori at the Spire aswell.

I am finding life great since my op. The first few months were the hardest but now lifes amazing.

I still enjoy food and probably enjoy it even more than I did pre op because I eat better foods.

I still drink coffee which I couldnt live without and the odd glass of wine. The only thing that gets to be is all the tablets.

Hi and welcome Mark, fantastic progress so far. It just keeps getting better, I promise you. You will get used to the tablets, I actually take less than I did pre-op if you can imagine that! I was able to ditch my diabetes meds, my blood pressure meds & most of my pain meds. It is a joy to know each day I get healthier! Best of luck for the rest your journey. Happy to add you to our little family, your youth and gender add to our under-represented population!
