Hi I didn't have to maintain or anything for a year, I think it does depend on your pct. As for only getting one go I know a lass that was turned down and she asked to be referred to another consultant and the next consultant agreed to do her tummy tuck so I would keep trying. I think I have...

It should not affect your weight loss at all, you are doing well, at least you know now it makes you feel dissapointed when you think how far you have come, put it behind you and continue your journey and before you know it you will arrive at your destination x x x

Well done Pete I did LL over 2 year ago best thing I ever did, keep up with your journey x

It does work as others have said, take each day as it comes and before you know it you will be slim and you will look back and think, omg hasn't the weeks as in my case 6 month flew by, and you will be so glad you stuck to it. I done an AI holiday 7 weeks into ss but stayed focused because I...

Hi Looby, I know its hard but it is so worth it, I done LL 2 year ago and lost 7 stone in 6 month and the time flew by. I found the first 2 weeks the hardest but once the weight started coming off I got into the swing of things. I went on an AI holiday 7 weeks into the diet and stayed on SS as I...

You should still try, my friend saw the consultant and she was in the next week because of a cancellation. You have to get your doctor to refer you, but it is possible to have it done quick depending on pct, but good luck whatever you decide, its worth it :)

Thanks cd for your advice I'm sure it will also help others who are awaiting operations.

It is 3 month after surgery because I had breast uplift and was told no ss after surgery. But not sure about before so I need help on that one please.

Hi does anyone know how long you can ss before an operation, I am due for a circumferential tummy tuck in 3 weeks and have been away and put on a bit weight which I would like off before my op and just wondered if it was safe and if so how long before my op would I stop ss. thanks x

My next op is tummy tuck. It is a post code lottery with the nhs. I live in Sunderland surgery is done in Durham but I have heard that they have plenty cash for surgery, wether that is true I don't know, but I know a few people I met at LL have been offered surgery. I was offered the surgery...

I used the same LL councellor as Kerrie and agree with what she says. I did stay with her until I completed management. I was going to go and see her next week as I have put on about half a stone in the last few month (have packed in my 30 a day smoking habit though) but as Kerrie has said she...
