Ah thanks CC how r u doing girl long time no chat and r we ever going to meet up and girls ur making me blush

well yes i have been hiding away from the world as my health has not been 2 good, its funny as when we have our op`s we think "the weight is going to drop off us and our health is going to improve big time and its all going to be hunky dory " but boy oh boy that is so not true for so many of us.
I have now lost just under 13 stone

but my health got worse, my doc thinks its down to all the abuse my body has taken over the years and now externally my body is paying for it.
I have severe osteoarthritis of both knees and was told even a 65 yr old would not have so much wear and tear on their joints, i have torn discs and severe sciatica, this just made me so depressed and to add to it all my tummy sits half way between my thighs and knees, my boobs way past my tummy and i am disgusted when i look in the mirror as i am the person who did this to my self, and the infections are horrendous.
One good thing is that my team said i need to lose just over 3 stone to be referred for my plastics so that def put a smile on my face and was in a way a light at the end of the tunnel for me. Unfortunately when i am down i just hide away, i know its not the right thing to do but its just how i cope with things, but i am trying to rectify that and start posting and not hiding.
Its my 43rd birthday on Monday and not doing sod all lol but one thing that def put a smile on my face is that the last time i weighed in the 15`s i was about 17 so that really feels good.
Well girls off to do some housework, boy my life is sad lol, ty again CC and the rest of the crew, take care and hope u all have a good weekend xxxxx
