hi beverlie/jacqui, it was about august when i was referrd to the specialist dietician, she said there was no point in my trying to do the 6 months weight loss programme, as mr ross had already verified that i had been trying to lose weight for almost 10 yrs since my first op, it was him who suggested wls. so i think because of that i probably gained a little of time and didnt wait for as long. i was told by mr ammori i would be in for about the end of feb, but the waiting list was longer than they realised, so i had it at end of april in the end. beverlie when did you have your hysterctomy hun, mine was round about 5 years ago. i seem to have had a few ops in the last few years, its weird cos up until being 40 id never had one at all, now im held together with stitches i think. i hope you both dont have to wait long, its an amazing feeling knowing that this is the start of a new life. i look forward to meeting you both, soon hopefully, hugs

You dont get an invite to the meetings, I was told about it by the first doctor I saw way back last year sometime. After that I saw a poster about it outside one of the lifts at Salford Royal. You dont have to wait to be asked, you just turn up. You can take someone with you for support if you like, I took half the family lol. I will let you know before the next one is due. Take care both of you

xthanks jacqui, i remember the support group being mentioned to me at one point, but didnt take much notice 'cos i knew id have a problem getting there. i cant believe that even though i registered on here last year. id still like to know when the meetings are though, especially if you are gonna be there, and hopefully if beverlie could somehow get there too. thanks huni, x
hi beverlie huni, i meant to ask you, the inejectionsyou have in your spine, are they the caudal epidural ones, i used to have them, and they eased it slightly, but the damage is really bad now, and he wont give me anymore cos the more active i am the quicker the degeneration, so im on morphine which gives me enough relief that i can mooch around the house and do things in short bursts, but not enough that i will aggravate everything too much. i cant wait till i can do a bit more, weird innit, we really do have a few things in common, lol. see ya later chuck, hugs
We do love and I was only just thinking of you (telepathy)... my injections are epidurals with a cortisone every three months... my lower discs have already crumbled and my neck and shoulders have the spondylitis pain and slope... the weight is unbearable... but the insulin I am taking is also the only one I can have just at the moment because of the cancer treatment and as such, the insulin makes me gain weight too... ever felt like the whole world is loaded against you... I am sure you have... but we aren't going to get beaten... it's onward and upwards for us Dawn! Hope you are doing ok today, hugs and love to you xxx
wow, mine is in lower back too, im lucky in that. i have discs there that are just non existant now, plus spondylolisthesis, and about another 3 conditions including nerve damage thats irriversable, they all have their own type of pain, and now i cant take anti inflammatories its actually going worse cos of the permanent inflammation. but im lucky, thats all i have to worry about, i dont know how u cope with your other conditions hun, but like you say, the weight coming off can only help with everything, and will make us feel better into the bargain. fingers crossed for your dates to hurry up. hugs
I couldn't agree more... the weight is an absolute burden... I can hardly get out of bed in a morning with my spine problem and I am independent, not wanting to burden my family. I am living in hope of a fitter life and returning to work... problem is having been turned down and waited for my doc for two years to reapply... I'll be in my mid fifties before I get off the starting post... not had my first letter yet... but I'm determined and that keeps us strong... xxx
it certainly is a roller coaster jacqui although i was lucky and was fastracked to a certain extent, i didnt have to do the 6 months with the dietician, she didnt think there was any point, and with the other surgery that i need she decided to refer me straight to mr ammori. it was her that recommended this site to me, so i registered, but for some reason, i just didnt come on very much. it was only after my bypass that i came on a lot, and even then i didnt post straight away, but i did gain valuable advice. im so glad i fell upon you two lovely ladies, it gave me the confidence to start posting properly, thank you. bev im so glad i can be here for you, i think we're a similar age too arnt we, i am 52, but feel a lot older sometimes, like you say, the weight dosnt help, how old are you jacqui, i know im a nosy sod, lol, sorry. anyway ive waffled on enough now, speak to you both soon. hugs n snugs. x
