I had weightloss surgery abroad

[penguinkisses]

Ask me anything 😊

@AnneLovesGilbert also... the other added benefit (equal to clothes!) is that food no longer dictates my life. I didn't realise how much of an emotional crutch food was for me. Now I eat to survive and don't overeat, nor is it something I give much thought to...

I did really struggle with it in the first few weeks post surgery as I was tired and sore and food would have ordinarily been my comfort... it's a big mind shift.

Well you haven't met me then !,

@awfullytricky well done you!!! What fabulous results for you, both weightloss and quality of life x x x

Have you suffered with loose skin after the weight loss?

@Name99 Yes I have some. Tummy and upper thighs are the worst part. Surgery is an option but I'm going to see what I can do with exercise first.
