Big hugs, this much be really upsetting for you *hug*
What have the doctors said about your loss of height? Is there anything else that can help in the meantime while you wait for you op - some kind of physiotherapy for example?
It must be really stressful being made to wait so long for an op, but it sounds like there are good health reasons for having to wait. Have the doctors given you any help or support in how you can sensibly lose the weight you need to in order to have the op?

they just said its to do with my bones crumbling im losing height.
it is really stressful as it was planned to be done in 6 weeks. i need to get my b/p down first and then they are going to put me on a strict gym plan so it doesnt affect to much on my knees and that and just go from there.
