Hi, my names Bev. I am 51 years old. I've been big all of my life, but fit and busy, until stopped in my tracks by adult onset diabeties. As a consequence I found myself on insulin 5 times a day, tired, run down, putting on even more weight. Life seemed hard.
Then after a visit to my diabetic consultant at the hospital, my doctor suggested that I had a gastric bypass which would cure my diabeties and into the bargain I'd lose weight off my 22 stone frame.
So, I went for it. And here I am, 2 and a half weeks post op, I've lost one and 3 quarters of a stone, and I'm not really sure weather I've done the right thing. Cause its hard. Emotionally, physically, every which way really. I hope somebody speaks to me cause I think I need a bit of help. Someone to stand by me.
