Topic: RE: op cancelled gutted
How com you can't lose more than a stone I wonder. Anyhow it'll be nice to lose weight a little slower without the pressure being on so much. Can you imagine the disappointment if you were turned away on the day - it doesn't bear thinking about.
I know it probably seems really nosey, but would you consider going on the thread at the top of the board to tell us just a little bit more about yourself - I'm not being pushy (lol, some may disagree hahaha) but it can be really disconcerting not knowing at least a little, for instance I talk on these boards to people from teens to retirees, from students to professionals ....... but of course if you like the anonymity don't let me change your mind, I was just wondering :-)
I'm feeling really well - I'm going through the stage of absolutely everyone noticing my weight loss, when I take the kids to school in the mornings there are always comments and people looking me up and down. It partly gives me a massive boost of course, but there is also the part of me that still feels like the fat girl trying to hide from being looked at and I'm a little uncomfortable being the centre of attention - it'll be nice when it all dies down and I can disappear into being just normal slim old me - well thats the dream, lol!

That's such a shame. But as Binty says, it is only short time out of the rest of your life!
No wonder you weren't feeling well. Hope it clears up soon.

Topic: RE: new
He seems to have made a marvelous job of my RNY, I have had no problems, and he got my restriciton spot on and I have no problems with getting things stuck - I've always kinda credited his work for that. I really thought a lot of him pre-op, he gave me faith in him and explained things really well. I have to say though, he is a very busy man, and does a hell of a lot of these ops, so I found that on the op day and afterwards you get very little in the way of his time or attention - I was shipped in and out pretty quick.
I kinda wanted a little more hand holding from him than that, but I guess thats the price you pay for his experience. The staff on the phone at dolan park are great and really helpful, and I'd be happy to recommend him.

That is so miserable, no wonder you were feeling so poorly, you must be so disappointed.
I usually try not to use cliches, but think of all the years you have been overweight, and think that this op will be forever - waiting 4 weeks is the absolute pits, but its nothing in the grand scheme of the rest of your life. Use your time to do lots of reading on this site to get yourself nice and ready, take really good care of yourself starting now - you have to get used to putting yourself and your health first because you are the only one who can.
Hope you feel better really soon

Don't worry about the moaning - dieting can be miserable in the early days.
Yes i went to dolan park for my RNY, the support staff have been great.
I love love love my surgery, it was the best decision I've made. I never realised that everyday life was difficult, but since I lost weight everything (and I mean almost everything) is easier in some way shape or form. I am now in a dress size 16, something I never thought would happen, even with the surgery.
There are times when I still have to battle with my eating demons, but in the main, this has been an easy journey so far. I'm one of those people who just tend to get on with whatever it is I have to do - and it seems to be working. Stick with it, and let yourself have hope, because for me it has been really worth it to feel like me again.
