Hi all. I had my op at Derby hospital on Dec 16th 2005 and have since lost 13 stone. I have been on a support group training course with BOSPA and with the support of Derby City Hospital am starting a support group for us Lincolnshire peeps! It starts on Sunday 1st November and is at Louth county Hospital at Thoresby Suite - 2pm - 4pm. EVERYONE welcome - friends, family, pre and post op patients. All the GPS in Lincolnshire (72) have been written to and had a poster so they should also have the information. Derby are also passing on my info. I presently "buddy" a large no of people and even though I am no expert and I still too am fighting my demons, have been and talked at Support Group at Derby a couple of times. I have had an abdominoplasty and just been put forward for my legs to be done too. I hope to have lots of pre, post bandees and family to come on 1st - please - come and meet new friends and family for help and giggles!!! NO SCALES I promise X
