(I am only 5ft 2inches so 70lb was a lot to lose for me) I feel absolutley fantastic, I love wearing nice cloths that I know will fit from one year to the next.

Well today is my 20 week anniversary and I have lost a grand total of 60lbs (4st 4lbs for us English). I know others have lost a great deal more, but I am so happy with this.

Hi, I am now 9 days post surgery, feeling great, no pain and I am tolerating my fluids well and I have not been sick. I have to continue on fluids for another 2 -3 weeks - no problem there!!

I am brushing my teeth regularly and using mouth wash, What else can I do?? I cannot suck mints or chew chewing gum. Is any one else having this trouble?? If so how
