Well I did my little bit and happy and sad

[Mixman]

I was a bit nervous today when I did my little presentation at Sheffield. I thoroughly enjoyed it though and hope I made a little difference.

I was sad though as well. There was a 16 year old girl there with her mum and her nan and you could tell she was upset.

Also there was a lady that didn't look that old but was pushed in on a chair with oxygen and kept falling to sleep. So so sad to see! :cry:

Good on ya, I bet you HAVE made a difference.
God bless those folks there that are in a bad place, may they get to the place that they want to be soon xxx

Well done mate i think its very important what you have done today esp for the men (not being sexist) who want to have the Surgery has most of the people there i would imagine are women, if i was asked to do a presentation or answer any questions at my hospital, Salford i would not hesitate has its changed my life and we have the experience's to tell everybody what to expect, again congrats on your achievements and if anybody can show what a success surgery is YOU CAN.

Well done Mixxie glad it went well for you! I'm sure you will have inspired those people you mentioned in particular and lets hope they too get the chance we have been given xx

Well done Mixxy, Im sure the poeple there felt better after seeing what can be achieved by having the surgery x

Well done Mixy. Was it recorded for posterity? I'm sure you were brilliant, an inspiration and gave a lot of much needed hope to people feeling pretty desperate. A good job done!

 

[Rebirth]

Well done, Let's hope that those who were in a bad way, were able to take something inspirational home with them.

[ravelling]

You've done a grand job!

I hope all the people who heard you take inspiration from your success and work hard at making it work for them.

I was saddened too, at first, by your mention of the very young girl. Then I thought of the misery I experienced in my younger days (chubby child+ first diet age 6= chubby teenager=no confidence=no self esteem and lots of missed opportunities). Hopefully, successful surgery will mean she has a really full and diet-free life.

Phew - you have done it and you can now sit back and relax.

Well done Mixxy.

Well done Mixy. Believe me you will have helped and though they were sad today I'm sure you will have provided them with the ray of sunshine at the end of the long, long tunnel that they need. You have been a constant source of inspiration ( and awe!) to me since I started my long wait and joined this forum ( along with more than a few other incredible people on here) and for them to have had the benefit of seeing the real you and hearing you in person can only have helped them.

User Tickety Boo was there supporting a friend so perhaps she can give her thoughts on it too
