Patel is hot! Fuck I woke up from my surgery and tried to put my stoner paw in his pocket. I stole his mobile in slow motion like a randy sloth on a metric fuck tonne of fentanyl. I just knew he'd do right by you.
Love that man! Love him! Make sure you tell him I was asking after him. Also I'm looking for a plastics man for a body lift. Send me details girl.

I'm dying to tell people but have been reluctant to post on my FB due to UK WLS peeps drama. I have such great news! I really hope none of those drama llamas have access to this board, but I will find out soon enough!
I am getting a hip! My left hip has collapsed to the point that I do not have a hip. Sept 11th is my day !
Now for the juicy stuff! haha. My surgeon was so impressed with my progress that he felt kinda bad that the long wait for my DS meant I was kicked off the list for my apronectomy that was due to happen when I hit a BMI of 50. I also have a cluster of hernias where I was ripped open to stop my post op bleed that need to be repaired sooner rather than later. Cue Professor Patel saying "I have a mate downstairs in plastics, we can double up and I will do your hernia and he can do the apronectomy!". I said great! I will get my GP to write for funding. His words: "naw, don't worry about funding, this needs doing and if we do it all at the same time it will be fine!"
OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!
So in the next 6 months I will have a hip! Hopefully allowing me to stand up straight for the first time since before my DS, and soon after, be able to walk without any cripple aides! Then, my hernia issue will be fixed....it's likely the reason my acid reflux is sooooooo much worse post DS than it was post VSG. Also, I puke a lot. Even after 2 bites. The restriction has been nice, but damn, nothing classy about leaving the table at a restaurant after 3 bites to go hurl. Will be nice! And this belly hang with be gone!!!!
It it not a tummy tuck and will not be pretty. I will have frankenbelly, but don't even give 2 shits.
I might actually feel human by my 2 year surgiversary. I feel really hopeful for the first time since, well, since forever!
My first goal is to lose 20lbs by my hip op, this will bring me below my surgeons goal weight for me, and then learning to walk again like a normal person! I would love to lose maybe another 10-15lbs after hip op, pre apronectomy....and the plastic man (holy hell the man is GORGEOUS!) estimates my belly hang is about 10kg (about 22lbs) in a none swollen state (I have lymphodema in the right side of the hang).
So yeah, things look good for my future, and I've been dying to tell people, but unsure of who to trust, so this seems like a good place to share my excitement!

Patel is uber hot and Cavale is SOOOOOO much hotter!!!! Both of them are going to work on me at once! Such a shame they have to see all the mess lol. See Cavale again in Nov, mike stalked him a bit and he does private plastics too so I might just sign up with him for the rest of my bits than I will need to fork over mulah for.

YES!!!! And I am crapping myself! lol. I am not a fan of pain and this pain, whilst hopefully reliving pain in the long run, is self inflicted lol.
So scared!!!! All the what-ifs are starting to go through my head!
BUT! I am feeling so insanely positive and Im actually planning for the future....for the first time since I was a teenager!
Life is good!

So now that I've swore like sailor on my fb and cried like a baby, I can finally update here that my hip op has been postponed til the 23....for now. Not getting my hopes up this time until the surgeon makes the first cut.
As I said on FB, I am sorry for the delay and sending big hugs to you.
