Hi Everyone
I'm Jeanette, and I live in Glastonbury in England.
I've been lurking here for a week or so, and have now decided to jump in, as you all seem so supportive.
I am pre-op and the funding for the operation has not been comfirmed yet, but my consultant says he thinks I have a very good chance of getting the go ahead, as I'm young, tick all the right boxes and have the right attitude. I have an appointment with the surgeon and dietition on 31st Jan, and once that meeting is over, they will petition my local health authority for the money to procede.
I'm undecided yet as whether to have the lap band or the Gastric bypass. Hopefully this forum will give me opinions, so I can make an informed decision.
I'm 35 at the moment, and have been overweight since I was 7 years old. I have got to the point now where I see this operation as my only option. I'm so desperate to proceed!
I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!
