Hi there

My name is Lou short for Lucille (my Sunday name, lol). I am almost 1 year post op and had my bypass with the gorgeous Shaw Somers in Chichester, UK.

On Op day I weighed 293kgs and today I weighed 195kgs so I am really pleased with my weightloss, particularly as I have plateaued for the last three months. I suppose it helped having the sickness bug during Christmas

.

I live in Maidenhead, Berkshire UK and was introduced to the forum by another member who lives close to me.

I am married to Keith and have been for 19years. Have a daughter, Lyndsay who is 18 this year, so big party coming up in May and of course I shall share with her my 40th.

So you are a night hawk as well?

Oh hell, you must be feeling dreadful. Just think though, with your new body you can go on the pull, lol

Have you got any decent painkillers?
