Thread: Made my 'CENTURY'! from size 24 down to size 12! Woooohooooo! My story so far!

Everything is good Jim ta. Hows you? I have been busy getting my walks in and have been being good food wise. I am going to see my Consultant Surgeon tomorrow so will hopefully find out when he will repair my Incisional Hernia. I think he will be pleased with the 4 stone I have lost since I last saw him in November. I will post again when I know what he has to say. take care Jo x

Apt results:
I saw my Consultant surgeon today about my Incisional Hernia repair. He was very very happy with my weight loss and amazed I had lost 4 stone since November. He said he had people who he had fitted a gastric band in, who haven't lost that much weight in that time scale.

Needless to say he is now happy with my weight and happy to go ahead with the surgery. He explained it was going to be a big operation because the hole in my abdominal wall was so large, however the weight I had now lost would make the operation less risky.

The waiting list is about 18 weeks so he will add me to the list and I will get my operation as soon as a place comes up. It should be about September.

I asked if he could give me a bit of a tummy tuck at the same time and he said although he would have to put my hernia repair first he would take away what excess skin he could if I wasn't at risk during the operation. woooohoooo bonus!

I am happy with the result of todays apt and I feel it gives me a little more time to get some more weight off before my op.

I have re - set my goal to 12 stone. That means I have another 21 lbs to lose. I am not sure if that will be my final goal but it feels do-able and realistic! Jo x

Jo, good news and more good news, that's great to hear love, well done. I'm fine but exhausted after all the feeding frenzy weekends LOL, back to routine now thank god, though I do have the Army V Navy game at twickenham this weekend, that'll be a booze frenzy

Thanks hun I think it is a realistic goal and I have every intention of nail it. You will get to your goal too. I know it may seem a long way off, and I remember that feeling, but you can do this!! Jo x

Morning Jo

Morning Jim, I hope you are having good week. The weather is not so good here at the moment. I am hoping it will warm up again Jo x

we've had decent weather, but it seems it's coming to an end Jo

That's brilliant, well done !

Today was a big day, I got rid of my 'BIG KNICKERS' ! I bought new knickers and bra's. I got fed up of having to keep pulling my knickers up because they had got so big they kept slipping down lol ! I have also gone from a dd cup to a b cup so bought new bra's. This weight loss is costing me money.......... but boy its worth every penny! Oh and my size 16 jeans are now getting to big too, time to get some size 14's wooooohoooo!

Thats enough about my underwear lol, I hope everyone has a good weekend. Jo x

I have added a new pic to my profile album. It is of me showing my 'Incisional Abdominal Hernia'. It is not a pretty sight but I thought it may help others to understand why I need an operation. Jo x

Morning Jo, LOL @ the nre nickers.
