Hi all,I am extremely upset as i post this update,anyone who has followed my posts on here,will know that I've been trying for just over 2 years or maybe longer,to get my umbilical hernia fixed with an operation,I honestly thought that this was it,that I was finally getting an operation to fix it,well today I suddenly got a phone call from the hospital,saying that they now won't do my operation,same reason as it was the 1st time the hospital rejected the operation last minute,cos of my weight,the risk for infection is too high,I can't help being overweight,I have serious mental health,the medication I'm on contributes to the weight gain too,I know the hospital are probably right not to operate due to health risks,but to put me the whole process,promising that I was getting the operation,I literally got a text confirmation 2 days,confirming the operation is still going ahead,then bam being told on the phone today,that actually no we're not doing the operation now
