Mel I couldn't agree more!!! It's sad others can't see the good from it! And watch us grow and flourish and get excited for us! On the inside we are still the same person! Xxx

I like reading these and value everyone's in put! My surgery is on the 22/6 so 16 days time, I am scared but also very excited! I was a slim child to my late teens! So I do remember vaguely! I have every size hanging in my cupboard! Nothing at this moment in time would put me of, I want to feel healthy and not struggle to go anywhere! Worry if a chair is going to break! Getting something nice to wear! In all honesty I would not worry what others think of me, it has been my hard choice and journey, people are narrow minded weather your big or small it's just in some people to be nasty! Be thankful that you have had the opportunity to do something about it! Life is to short for regrets! People are beautiful inside and out (some) I like people on what I meet not what there body weight is!!! Everybody is different on how they feel about the surgery! I just want to feel good about me, I don't expect it to be easy or a walk in the park. I expect it to be hard and emotional and strange!! Plus I need to keep it together for my family!! I have 4 kid and I want to see there kids and there kids after... Well done to you all embrace your new life and enjoy!! Much love to you all xxx

Hi All, I am new to this and i think i have some how found my way on to a USA site oops!! hope you dont mind having me? I am from Rayleigh,Essex in England.

I have finally been approved by the nhs for my surgery which will be taking place on the 22/06/12. I am very excited and nervous all in one go.i Have had to pack my kids of to my parents in Spain for a few weeks to give me a chance to recover as you can imagine having a 10,6,4,3 year old i am on the go all the time! I really want to meet like minded people and be supported and be a supporter!!! If you dont mind me being over the pond? Much love to you all and hope all is well xxxxx

How very true. So where are you in the cycle of surgery I have 31 days till surgery for a rny gastric bypass. I am learning things every day but looking forward to feeling so much better about me and being able to do more! I am lucky my husband is very supportive or I wouldn't be able to do this alone. And now pleased to be meeting people who feel the same x

Hi Melissa, my surgery date is the 22/ June and I am too getting ready! I have been tuning myself in to thinking no cheating! I think I would be mortified if they started surgery then didn't finish because my liver was still so big!! I am very nervouse excited but I guess this is the feeling we all feel?? I love reading all your threads it keeps me inspired! Love and luck to you all Melissa xc )missy160) xxx
