He said, l must lose weight and funded me to go to Weight Watchers, where l lost over a stone.
Yeah, that was great but l feel dieting might be good for you in one way but bad for you in another way!

I had never had any tummy trouble in my life and then it started, bloating, reflux and pain in my right side. The doctor, prescribed PPIs and thank goodness l read a thread on here that Azz started as l am sure l would still be on them now. (I only took one tablet!)

It was diagnosed that l had gallstones and l had to have the first operation and stitches of my life. I read, dieting can contribute to gallstones forming.
I must correct this as l wasn’t funded to go to Weight Watchers at all. It was Slimming World!

Re: How many operations have you had?

I had a pain in my back so they took out my gall bladder....still have the pain now and then so suspect it wasn't my gall bladder at all ...but there you go what can you do we just trust they know what they are doing which isn't always the case....no other ops here..

And, do you have any pending, that you just keep putting off because you can't stand the thoughts of going under the knife again?

I'll tell you mine later, I don't feel like thinking about it right now, as I am in such a good mood, the sun is shining and I don't have a care in the world.......

Pneumothorax,hernia,Prostectomy.
