I am new

[Mandz66]

Hi I am Mandy from North Tyneside. I have been researching bariatric surgery for about 12 months and eventually plucked up the courage to go to my docs in January after yo yo dieting for 20 years. I have been a member of every slimming club going. I went to the seminar last Thursday at my local hospital and go to the docs tomorrow to be referred to the weight management programme. So this is the start of my journey. It's really great to read about all your different experiences and it certainly gives me hope. Good luck to you all who have your op dates and well done to the post oppers who have succeeded. Xx

Thank you Jan and good luck with your op, not long to go x
Doctor has done my referral for the weight management and I see a nurse next Wednesday to stop smoking. I got weighed at the doctors again this morning and I've lost 1.8kg since my weigh in at the hospital last Thursday evening and I've done it by cutting out chocolate and drinking water instead of tea n coffee!! I am back at the doctors next Wednesday to be referred to the sleep clinic. Good luck to all who are having their ops soon
