Losing hope with lost mobility.. any insight would be helpful
I am pursuing
gastric
bypass
but even if everything goes perfectly it is going to be about 6 months before I can have the operation. Then of course there is the time involved to drop the weight. I am extremely depressed. I can't walk.

Feeling desperate..
Right.. Apologies, this is difficult to know where to start..! I'm desperate to lose weight, it's making me depressed to the point where I don't even want to leave the house. I've always been a 'big' girl but after having my children the weight has just crept up and up, I've tried every diet going, pills

Feeling Better
My dad used this method before he had his
gastric
bypass
3 years ago and he lost loads. On that note what's people's thoughts and opinions on any gastric surgery?

Thyroid problems after gastric bypass
I had bypass 1992, had first thyroid surgery 2004. Only 1/2 was removed. In 2010 had other 1/2 removed, both times due to cancer. In 2011 I had gastric revision. I am finding now I am having trouble with leveling out tsh level. Did some research myself and found it could be due to not absorbing synthtoid

Struggling with my partner.
I had to have a
gastric
bypass
4 weeks ago because my acid reflux was so high. I own 3 pubs and between myself and my girlfriend (9 years now) we have 6 children (5 living with us) I found myself back to work in the pubs straight away doing basic stuff but a lot of driving around and repairs.

Dieting
I had a gastric band fitted 8 yrs ago and lost 7 stone. Brilliant. But after a couple of years the band caused problems ie vomiting all the time and I had it loosened and gained weight so had it tightened. Vomited but weight stayed so loosened and gained weight. It Is now loosened a little so I still

Determination
Just completed first week of the NHS diet plan. Found the plan very helpful and ( as usual) I have got off to a flying start, already shed 6 Lbs. By keeping to the plan and taking every aspect seriously I'm very pleased with the results. I spend ages searching for interesting low calorie meal plans
