    Default Anyone in the UK?

    I've had a look through some of the forum threads and found some UK-based users but haven't been able to find anyone who's recently been online.

    Is there anyone out there?

    Hi Catherine, I'm in the uk and have only just registered with this site. I know what you're saying, in that it definitely seems very US based lol. How have you found things after your op? Looks as though you have had a great start. I'm soooo looking forward to my op on the 4th March .

    Great Thanks, It was just the seminar and weigh in but they told us apparently we were the last to be referred by GP and in future it would be a specialist weight loss clinic, of which there are 0 in Co. Durham, Typical isn't it! So I have three months to lose 5kg or more, then appointment with Surgeon to discuss and we are off! Still waiting for the appointment date in the post. Bet you are getting excited/nervous now Geordie Lass. not long to go.
    keep us up to date!!
