18/04/08 After much soul searching and bags of crisps, lbs of butter and cakes I've finally realised that I'm not doing very well at deiting on my own. I lose on every diet I've ever tried - a good 1 -2 stone very quickly (I'm very big) and then the demons come back and it all goes down hill. I've now decided (with my doctors blessing) to look at bariatric sugery, probably a bypass.
I've been referred (August 2008) to our clinician at the local hospital who puts patients forward for NHS funding but as yet I haven't seen him. So I've took matters into my own hands, done loads and loads of reseach and have now booked a private consultation in Manchester. I have a large and painful stomach hernia that requires an operation to fix, but because my BMI is so high (64), I have to get my BMI to 40 (around 7stones). I need to know if it will be possible to have a bypass with my tummy in the state its in. At the moment I'm clinging to the hope of a bypass...
My new appt is for Friday 8th May.
I've started all about W8 again (yesterday) to prove to myself that I can lose weight and I need to be healthier for any op!
Notes to self: keep positive!
