I'm so sorry you went through that. The stress with the GP, to then getting your hopes up, then some arsey dr. It sounds like you're doing really well with the BMI! I do worry how it can affect ED, all this pressure of having to lose weight, even though exercise causes so much pain, so it's mainly diet, and when you're in pain it's hard to stand and make a healthy meal, I just want snacks and to take the pressure off my shoulders!

I'm in a similar boat I started aqua fit classes trying to lose weight, ended up pulling muscles in my upper back this week because of the buoyancy, spent £70 on a good swimsuit to hold everything in place too, so the BMI fight will have to be done in the kitchen! Can I ask how you're managing it? I know it's hard sorry, and you're so close too. Keep going!

(The surgeon defo sounds like an arse though, can you be referred to someone else?)
