I LOVE hearing how excited you all are. I was exactly the same! I was also scared to bits. However, I knew I had the best team in the world and that they would do everything they could to make me safe and comfortable. Despite having an open bypass and my gall bladder removed, AND having a BMI of 64 and loads of health problems, I was home sat in my own chair within 3 days!

I wish the same for you. This is going to be the most exhilarating journey of your life. It’s like being re-born. We are all so fortunate to have been given a second chance at a normal life. I get chills every time I read how happy people are when they have lost their excess weight and are out and about LIVING life to the full again. I have the best job in the world as I’m lucky enough to meet many of you too. I am never prepared for the change in people so quickly though, even though I see it all the time. My colleagues feel exactly the same way – it never fails to be absolutely thrilling. You guys make us all proud all the time 😉
