Re-Introducing Myself

[nikshikari]

Hi....... I am Nic. Been a while since i have been on here properly so i am doing what my title said.

I live in Bradford and am a funded pre-opper. Luckily i didnt have any trouble getting funding.

I am due in for surgery within the next 6 weeks at Bradford Royal Infirmary. Do not have an exact date as yet.

As of today i weigh 22stone 2lbs. This is my heaviest (i think)

I have started a pre op diet-diet lol. Want to try an loose a few pounds to lessen the risk of the ol' complicationie.

Thanks for reading my rambling post.

Welcome back to the forum!!!

[nikshikari]

I have been on waiting list since April '11. I haven't had to wait as long as some people which i am very thankful for.

Getting sooooo excited. Not once have i had the feeling of dread. No matter what people say I know i will never regret making this decision. My family and friends are behind me 100% its the outsiders who are the ones who are all like BLAH. Haters gonna Hate lol.

Does anybody use Youtube to do Video Dairys?xx
