Thread: Awaiting News re a TT on the NHS!

It looks like my TT is being done this March, phoning Friday for confirmation. I was approved even though my BMI was not 25, and even now, its actually higher than last year - oops! I shall be dieting between now and March, and may go back to the cambridge diet.

My apron is quite bad, I'm 24, 1 child. A lot to do with genetics sadly.

My belly is gonna be in a book *beams* lol.....

I've been approved too, last summer, and I've gained about 7lbs since. I don't think that's too bad considering I've had a tough time with depression the last few months but I've been very worried about it. Would they refuse once it's been approved because of a small gain I wonder???

I actually reached my personal target early last year and was left with excess skin, I hated the look of me and think that is why i put most of my weight back on. I am back on sw and thinking I will look into surgery when I reach target again.Well done to those who have lost the weight and good luck to all awaiting surgery x

I'm doing really well, the most pain I've had is when they took the drains out on Tues before I came home which has surprised me! I've got to wear 2 double layers of wrappings like the support tubes you wear for injured knees etc and this is making it very awkward to move and sleep and even wear clothes. But it's done, over with, I'm home able to walk and potter around so I'm happy!

Good to hear your doing well, are you pleased with the result? X

I'm so happy with the results so far although it will take time for swelling to go down and tissue to settle into place. I wasn't so prepared for the mental side of it though, I've been very up and down since the operation and I never quite know what mood each day will find me in. I had to take time away from my job to recover and since found out that my hours have been given away (off the books so not a legal leg to stand on there!) so financially I'm on my bum and that's not helping. Hopefully if I can pull myself together I'll appreciate the results more.
