I had my surgery 2 weeks after the referral

I have PCOS and it was the reason for my weight gain, I tried everything including eating air and I still couldn't lose weight, I am coming In to my ninth month post surgery and I am 4 kilos to goal weight yay, I still don't get my period though only had it once since surgery, but planning on baby number two hopefully it doesn't take 7 years to fall this time with the added help of the weight loss.

Hi and welcome all newbies, this site has been a god sent for me and I hope you find it just as helpful

It's so close I can smell it and for ones it's doesn't smell like yummy food I want to pig out on lol, I am feeling so much better and loving the fact I can go in to a "normal" size shop, although my husband is mourning the loss of my boobs lol

Thanks it really sunk in when I came across old photos I say looking at them and though wow that used to be me, then I forget about it for a while till I see someone who has not been me since before surgery and then it hits me again, maintenance is going to be a whole new challenge, did you adjust well to that side of things? Lilly

Hi all a bit of an update today I hit a loss of 40.1 kilos current weight is 73.8 I am 4.8 kilos away from my surgeons goal and 8.8 away from my goal yay! as always it's great to see everyone's success. Lilly

I didn't even know there was a "mans cave"

Well done you look great Lilly

Best of luck,

Best of luck you'll be fine Lilly

They tell you not to eat crackers for your own safety, stick to your dietitians plan, you can cause serious damage so early on, having liquid is a small price to pay when you potentially can cause damage to your new pouch, don't risk it.

Hi there, I am coming up to 7 months out and have lost most of my thickness and length, it's like fairy floss and still snapping, my surgeon said to take silica and I spend a fortune on hair products and Vitamins but my surgeon said if its going to happen its going to happen but it will grow back. In my pic I have a hair piece in and it does the trick. Lilly
