I am Joanne I live in Cheshire I have 2 boys both still at school one high school the infants...I am five feet 3 and weigh ugly 24 stone.
I have diabetes type 2..high cholesterol.. sleep apnoea.. ostio arthritis both knees and hip.. numerous other niggles that make me have to take 27 tablets a day in total.
The facelessness of here is letting me totally blunt about myself, for years I have jumped thru hoops dieticians.. weigh loss clubs.. fad diets...tablets shakes and all sorts.
Without this surgery I see myself slowly dying I need the help of it to enable me to get a life so to speak as right now I have non.. I don't go out or like to be in public as I know I am getting "that" look...I have no real friends as I wont and don't socialise. I know I am not a bad person but I also know I am not first on the list to be a choice to be with people do judge.
ANYHOW moved to be near my parent's so they could help me with my care and went to the doctors and told them of all the appointments all the lifestyle clinics all the dieticians ..so yes I get sent to a IAPT person for my mental well being and a another dietician who I have to say ahs been great. Lo n behold the rules change 6 months down the line and I am back at step one the doctors BUT that's not such a bad thing apparently the countess have received my request matt butcher is forwarding to phoenix healthcare and according to his lovely secretary Helen I should hear of them within 2 weeks or less.
I just pray to god they say yes I am a bag of nerves right now.
So now I am going to overload on information from here and find out as much as I can.
