"Thank you for putting me on the right path"

About: Nairn Town and County Hospital / Weight Management

(as the patient),

I was referred by Raigmore hospital to visit Mairi, to talk about cholesterol problems etc. On my visit she explained things more clearly to me than what a doctor or nurse could. I learned more about what foods to avoid & what food to eat to bring cholesterol down. I learned more about eating oily fish twice a week, which is very good for you. I also know now not to avoid lunch, & always have my lunch now which helps me to be healthier & more energetic. I was on beta blockers for my heart which put weight on me quite rapidly. Now I'm off them, I feel so much more in control, as they made me tired all the time & not very much in the mood for doing anything. So my visit to Mairi was so worthwhile. I think I have one more visit to her to complete the course. So I would like to say a big thanks to her, for putting me on the right path.

Dear Bunchrew

Its good to hear that you have found your support worthwhile and you are feeling more in control. This must make such a big difference to your outlook.

I trust you completed the course and you are continuing to enjoy your new routine.

All good wishes
