hi - I had weight loss surgery in July last year - this was a revision from a band to the bypass - I honestly cant believe how embarrassed I was by admitting this - but I think its just because of the shame of not being able to do this my self! 8stone lost now and I am a different person and I am free of diabetes and physically able - its the best thing I ever done - so forget the weight loss shaming and lets encourage people to do what ever is needed to get where we need to be please xxx
