That's brill really happy for you I had my MDT on the 30th DEC the didn't refer me coz I gained some weight I was gutted as it was just from Xmas food. But finally saw them a month later and lost a stone so they sent me to anesthetist on 3rd Feb and seeing the surgeon on 16th march so trying to keep the weight off. I advise losing weight and keeping them happy or it will put you back many months I learnt the hard way. Even tho I had been 100% before Xmas I gained a little over xmas they want to see commitment. Hope all goes well. X

Wow that's amazing! She is doing great I have only lost that stone but my body struggles to maintain anything as iv got a condition that cause's issues so if he tells me off I think I may get cross lol
MDT was fine saw dietitian that's was fine saw the psychologist all was fine apart she was worried I was pushing for it to happen I said well iv been messed about for 18months and my life is non hold till iv had it so yes I'm pushing. Apart from that I was fine. Then saw the nurse and as I gained few lbs over Xmas (appointment was on 30th DEC) they wouldn't send me to the surgeon. So had to lose a stone in a month which actually turned out to be 3 weeks by the time they got back to me. But I did it.
Then saw anesthetist on 3rd Feb and spoke about things and what he will do and then got told to lose more weight if I can and so I am trying hard to.
What about yourself how are things moving for you? Xx

I've still got 4 months left of. My assessment which had to be a year unfortunately, I lost 7% on my initial milk diet and I've now lost 13% - 2 stone 3lb ..... just gotta wait until June now, have yet another appointment with dietician 30th March and she's booked for me to see physician at that appointment but she said that does mean I've been offered surgery it's just to check I'm healthy enough for anaesthetic, so again unfortunately just jumping through more hoops to reach that end goal x

Your doing amazing don't give up keep fighting. I drink cucumber,lemon and mint water you leave it in the fridge over night and drinking it the next day that helped me lose weight plus its refreshing and is nicer than plain water.
I have to lose more weight before seeing the surgeon I need to lose about 11lbs in just over two weeks its possible I just need to move more and eat less and lots of water. Keep us posted how you get on ,x
