Hi purple hope you are ok, you sound great just after your op hope all is well with the diet, may i ask if you have to do a lot of exercise, because you are a bit lder than most on here. and they say exercise is the key? but we all carn't just jump on the treadmill etc so i woundered what else we could do to aid the weight coming off without keeling over lol ha ha i have bad arthritis all over my body and i am in lot of pain but i know the op will help so my op is for health reasons and learn to eat small and sensible meals, also you mentioned you live up north, but had op done at leeds, i live at Morecambe having my at manchester spire hospital but i need to find a fill docter nearer to me you don't happen to know anyone local to me, do you? i am very nervous but can't wait to get on with my new life. kind regards li33y
