Hello GillianLing and welcome to the Weight Loss NHS Forum. It sounds as if you have had quite a journey, and have clearly done very well having lost 12 stone - absolutely brilliant.

We are not medically qualified, so cannot advise you on the particular problems you are having at the moment, so would recommend that you make an appointment to see your GP for help.

I'd like to invite you to join our Newbie Club, which we hope will be a good place for you to connect with members, who are on their own weight loss journey. If you just post a few words to introduce yourself and respond to others there, you'll soon break the ice. Here's the link.

Wishing you all the best :)

Yes I have, and now I'm finding that it's worth it long term especially where clothes are concerned. Yes I know that's not a problem re seeing my gp.

Will do, I'll do it now

Hi yep you do look a bit chunky but well done you for sticking with it and losing all that weight, where's the after shot, I know everyone imagines that the surgery is a quick fix but I know its not, my friend had it done and was doing really well but sadly day by day over two years she has gradually crept back up, I think she thought it was not possible to do that but she had to have the band removed and there not sure they can put it back till she gets a bit of weight off and shows some commitment.

I'm really glad you have perciveered with it, are you having removal surgery
