Hi Everyone,
I just want to say this site is a wealth of knowledge, I have been looking at the forum for the last couple of months i thought its now time to say hello!!
My bypass is booked for the 28th August with Basil Ammouri but not sure if this is going to be put back as recently been in hospital with gastilitus for a week and I have to have a camera down on the 14th of August, fingers crossed if its ok I will have my bypass on the 28th. I opted to go privately after my doctor suggested a band or bypass but then once I thought about it she said I wouldn't be able to have it on the NHS because there wasn't enough wrong with me ( I have severe PCOS and fertility problems) and BMI is 40 but still wasn't sufficient. I originally wanted the band as it wasn't as i felt that a bypass was quite drastic but after talking to Dr Ammouri and him suggesting the bypass as it would suit me better thats what I am going for.
The reason I am having the surgery is me and my husband would love to have a second child ( Rhys is 2 and was conceived on clomid) my periods have gone away and the tablets doctors previously prescribed me when we was trying for Rhys didn't work this time so as always weight is why they aren't working.
I carn't wait for my new lease of life and really hope it doesn't get put back. As most of you I have tried every diet on the earth and I lost the weight really slowly and eventually put it all back on.
I look forward to chatting with all soon x
