5' 3" Height: |  Hi I am new Hi everyone, I have been searching for a chat site for this operation and how it has affected people in general. I am from Hull in East Yorkshire, England. I have been wanting to lose weight for ages and tried all sorts but no good. A friend of my had the surgery last year and shes about 6 stone light now and looks great. I spoke to her later last year and she asked me to think about it. I made an appointment to see the specialist and has put my name forward. I have now received a letter to see the dietician on 13th May 2008. The waiting list is 6 mths here and I spoke to the doc in January, so hopefully it may be soon. I havent had chance to chat to many so would like to. At the moment I tend to stay in a lot while all my mates go out enjoying themselves , but I dont feel right and I need to get some confidence back and start afresh. Does this change your life drastically, if so, tell me about it. Very nice to meet you all. |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |
