Well I guess you will have read this a thousand times before but here goes.
I have been dieting all my life, well that's how it feels anyway. I have tried all the diets out there but I am still fat.
Last year I went on xenicol and lost 4 stone, it was hard going, by that I mean the oil problem but I stuck to it UNTIL I had problems with my disabled 4 yr old and then I just stopped and yep I put all the weight back on and a little bit more.
I have had an incisional hernia since I had my son by c section and it has been getting worse, the hospital refuse to operate because I am so over weight.
Anyway I went to the docs to see if they could help me with pain and I broke down in the docs room. I ended up telling her how unwell and unfit I was and that I was going to look into gastric bypass. The doc said she would look into it on the NHS as my hernia needed fixing asap.
I go back to docs tomorrow and hopefully she will have heard from the hosptial, Please keep your fingers crossed for me as I am desperate to get rid of this weight once and for all.

hiya, im sorry that you are going through so much.
its not easy when the weight simply wont go, although im not huge, im not comfortable with my weight which means i can understand.
I think that you should stay calm as much as you can until you know what the docs say. Its going to be a life changing thing.
when you feel ready, send us a message. its hard work losing weight, it involves dedication and attention and the only reason that i can do this is cus i dont have kids and i dont have an awful lot else in my life to takeover....but honestly i feel for you, its hard...

Well I went to the docs and they still haven't heard from the surgeon so hopefully any day now, in the meantime I am off work with my hernia which is great as I was really struggling.
