Hi Baby Blues and Pammie

Go back to your Doctors and demand to see a specalist as my friend has just had this operation within 6 weeks she has lost 2 stone and feels so much more fitter. Due to medication i have gone from a size 14 to a size 20-22 and i am now thinking i want a gastric band fitted!

 You do have to push for a gastric bypass as Doctors dont sugest them for you,  If you have dieted and lost weight and gained it again it back it pushes you in to a depression, i dont know why doctors are not suggesting these operations to people who have tried to lose weight???

This is the right time to try and have this operation as April is the end of the year for the hospital so they have funding

Good Luck to anyone who has it done, as i hate being FAT and I hate the fact that thin people think over weight people are lazy and eat loads and  we aren't Lazy and i dont each anything like my size 6 sister :O(

hi, i am the same as you,i am also morbidly obease due to a medical reason.i asked my doctor if i could go for weight loss surgery and he said 'because it is so expensive i have to try every method going of losing weight' so here i am taking weight loss pills, this is the 2nd weight loss tablet i have tried and it has helped a little,but i am still morbidly over weight.my health is suffering because of it and they will dont do nothing about it.i turned round and said to my mother.... i would probably have to be dying before they let me go for surgery.i am really limited to what i can do and i have chronic athsma also which is a massive strain.i am bordering 30 stone and i really do not want to put on any more weight.if i go over 35 stone i have told everybody i willtake my own life,people do not realise how hard it is for us,and more so for the people who have a medical condition.i really want the surgery so bad and i have read up on it and understand the risks... but its a chance you have to take. i lose so much weight then put it all back on again,you do not have to pay for the surgery if it is on the nhs.
