Well I have been getting a lot of pain and discomfort from the hernia repair and all the twelve inch long scar across my stomach and also pain by my liver from my original operation so was referred to the weight loss clinic at gloster hospital.
The reason for this as those of you I have met know I'm not a size 30 inch waist so my stomach muscles have given way causing the bottom half of my stomach to drop quite dramatically which is causing all the pain.

So the outcome was a crash diet the a free tummy tuck later on on the NHS as the consultant was sure that the pain would still be there in the skin that's going to be left and will still have some weight to it.

So the reason I'm in hospital is the consultant wanted to have a good look down my throat into with a camera and found I also have a hiatus hernia which is why I was struggling to swallow certain foods and getting a lot of discomfort and being sick which I assumed was down to having my gallbladder out. Also I had several scans and they found there was something odd looking on my liver which turned out to be a bit of gallbladder left over which was also giving me quite a lot of pain at times.

So here I am wafling on as its 1am and I'm wide awake and bored and very sore.

I had my operation at 9.15 this morning and was in the recovery room for 1ish where I remained for 6 hours due to the worst pain I have ever experienced which they couldn't get on top of even with the maximum amount of fentanal and morphine mixed in with a load of other drugs which I can't remember as I was as high as a kite.

I'm now on a ward hooked up to a pump that has yet another pain killer in it which seems to be working thankfully.

So as long as I can keep loosing weight like I have done on my month long liver reducing diet I was on I should look a bit thinner as in the month of just being on slimfast black coffee and bovril drink I managed to loose just short of three stones.

OK I'm really sorry for wafling on so long and probably making no sense as I'm still buzzing from all the drugs.
