Al drove me into Belfast to go to the WLS support group meeting. It was great to see everyone. Eileen was there and she has just got her date through to be the 2nd ever open RNY patient to have her op done in Northern Ireland. I am over the moon for her !!! She goes into the Royal to have her op on the 29th of this month, not long now !!! I am sure she is excited having waited 5 years for it, but anxious all the same because it's major surgery all the same. It was great to see her, and Marg, and JayJay too. JayJay was very complementary about my state of health, saying I hardly looked like someone who was just 1 1/2 weeks post op !! I really don't feel like I am only just post op either !! I feel great. I took the dressings off today and the wounds are looking really good. I am so pleased.
There were a few new faces at the meeting too, and it was good to get to chat to them about things.
