So I'm a size 24, I'm over weight and been trying to lose weight and live a healthy life style for the last month and have lost a stone. I went to the doctors today (new doctor as recently moved to the area) to tell her me and my bf are trying to conceive and she told me that it was not sensible and I wouldn't be around to see my children grow up. After asking me to list the things i could die of and then to step on her scales and not brake them I was devastated and came home and cried! She has told me I need a gastric band and has put me forward for one. I have phoned tonight a local slimming world consultant who chatted and reassured me that attending a class is not as scary as I think it's going to be. And that I will be ok and she will help me every step of the way. I am going tomorrow at 11:30 and I'm really nervous, I have a lot to lose and I know no one as I'm new to the area. Feeling upset tonight but hoping this is a journey I will enjoy, hope to make some new friends here xxxx
