Did you get anywhere with the request? or tablets?
I had weighed alot since I was 11. Went through yo yo diets, curbing, tablets, slim fast, weight watchers, nothing worked as I have no will power .
I needed something DRASTIC and physical to stop me overeating.
I sold my house and bought another but with the quity i also bought myself a gastric band.
i had it done in march 2006. by feb 2008 I had lost 10 stone and weighed 8 stoe but was too skinny for me to accept so had the restriction loosened slightly and was able to put on about a stone or two which I felt alot better about.
I am a healthy size 10-12 now.
then i fell pregnant unbeknown to me was 16 weeks preggers whilst waiting for a tummy tuck the NHS agreed to do!
so that waited, had mylo, then in may this year had my TT.
It leaves ALOT of skin.. and even though you are leaving the struggle to find nice clothes to fit behind you, then you have a new dilemma.. how do I hide all my hanging skin in the smaller clothes.
It isnt a quick fix.. but was the only option for me. I dont regret it one bit. I cant eat as much as others and sometimes I get a build up of chewed food in my throat that I have to quickly'get rid of'
sick
or I feel overwhelming pain.
My sister had one too but hers was doe differntly to mine and it failed two years ago. she piled on all her weight again then saved for the new op.. the 'sleeve'.
If I were you.. I would ask for the sleeve or save for that instead as there are no risks of it breaking cos they permanently change your anatomy.. where as the gastric band they dont. the sleeve is apparently the first stage of the bypass.
Anyways.. I started a thread on cosmetic surgery, you can see before and after pics of me..
