- Errr I mean the plot thickens.After two years, and recently being removed from the gbs, waiting list today I have a date for my surgery! Who'd have thunk it.....I mean thought it. All that angst and stuff I've gone through may have been for nothing...
- I MAY have GBS in October, I repeat MAY.I've noticed that many post surgery people still claim to see themselves as the fat person they once were, and are shocked by their own reflection. This seems to be a huge thing to adjust to.I have a very...
- During a recent hospital visit I met a handsome, athletic 27 year old male, "Jason".He is sooo distressed after having a colostomy about eight weeks ago. He has a therapist, a nurse or visitor with him almost 24/7 (almost a suicide watch). He can't...

- The growth they found is a precurseor to cancer. I know it could be far worse. I'm having another colonoscopy soon to check again for even the tiniest sign of anything else, a two day prep for this one. I'm meeting with the bypass surgeon on 23rd to...
- I'm writing a book about stuff. I have experienced. I thought I'd share a bit with you, If it makes just one person smile I'll be happy.I recently purchased a lovely blue Pilates ball. I progressed through the movements day by day until day eight,...
- My surgery may be canceled!!!!!They've found a nasty growth in my colon.They are investigating further later this week.I can't believe it, after jumping through all the hoops I may be screwed just a few weeks away from my potential surgery date AND...
- We've all seen the pictures of excess skin after rapid weight loss. Does this happen to everyone? Anyone had the plastic surgery yet?
- I'm due to have Gastric Bypass Surgery in August. I have a dumb question but as there's no going back once it's done here's my question..........Does anyone feel that they miss out on social events that involve meals and drinks?What kind of coping...
