My motivation to feel & look ok in my clothes I've been thinking about it for over 10 years. I'm really feeling excited more than anything, I can't wait I'm a bit worried about the recovery and how long it will be before I can exercise, I have learned so much on this forum it's become quite addictive it's so great to hear other stories.

Hi Andrea are u having your surgery in the UK. I had mine done on the 10 th best decision I ever made . I did have messed up dreams but not about the surgery itself . Think the mind just over things things when it's getting close .

Not long now booked in for 29th oct I can't wait I'm scared and excited .
trying to get everything ready, I have waited so long for this i had 3 kids in 4 years and my weight went up and down with each, my kids are 13 14 & 17 and after being overweight most of my life i'm only 37 now, I have lost about 7 & a half stone over the last 10 years I've be able to maintain this and after losing weight I started exercising and it became a way of life I am addicted, but its so frustrating when your super fit doing 8 - 10 hours a week exercise a week and you can't get rid of the belly, I have a lot of excess skin and although my lower abs are not too bad all the rest are trashed so I'm having fleur di lis with full muscle repair its costing me £5225 and will be worth every single penny,
I'm going to try and post some pics on here this week.

Hi Andrea, counting down??!! Did you find my profile? If you have any other questions for me, please don't hesitate. [RS bleep]

Just thought I would add I lost weight with slimming world and for the last 2 & a half years I've been a consultant and now run 2 very successful groups and help nearly 300 men & women achieve there weight loss goals. I absolutely love my job but it is hard to stand confidently in front of up to 50 people at a time ( mainly women) and talk about weight issues, I told my groups this week what I was doing and had some great feedback I could have cried, I knew they would understand I was very open and honest as I always am with my members but still felt obliged to justify why I was doing it,
I stressed I really would not spend over £5000 on surgery, that I will be in theatre for 5 & a half hours if I diddn't need it ,
So I'm on countdown everyone's advice and tips have been fantastic I don't go for my pre op till 23 rd so I'm bursting with questions.
