Sorry to leave folks hanging. Surgery went well but I've been conked out since yesterday afternoon. I'm sore and very tired but I've managed drink quite a bit of water and keep it down, which is a good thing.

Im about a 2-3 on the pain scale and since yesterday I've managed to drink nearly 3 of the 750ml jugs they put bear your bed. I'm wondering if I had a transfusion though. I've got a cannula that I didn't have before as well as two in my left. Guess I'll find out later what that's about.
Hi all. Back at home and doing well. I've just had some soup and felt full after 5 spoonfuls. At least I think I was. It's hard to tell. Still trying to keep up my fluid intake which seems harder to do at home, which is weird. Tiredness comes and goes quite frequently, so I'm pacing myself .
Good evening ladies and gents, I’m in West Yorkshire so I understand all the processes are different, I’ve gone through the weight management for 12 weeks, ive then seen a consultant, then I was referred to a weight seminar at dewsbury hospital, there after I saw my dietician and bariatric nurse, had my physiologist’s assessment and was told I would be discussed in April’s MDT meets... I recieved a letter a few days ago that said I had been discussed in the MDT meeting and I appointment to see a surgeon will follow.... now I’m trying not to get my hopes up but that’s sounds positive to me... any input would be appreciated x
Thank you guys! I’m looking forward to getting better. Feeling sick on and off and hurts a little bit to drink but hopefully it gets better once the swellings gone down x
You know the '18 weeks referral - surgery' guideline (whatever the wording is) does that actually mean anything or is it just put out there as a false sense of hope!? Lol!!!! x

It does sound very positive but like you said all hospitals are different. The first time I met my surgeon was to basically discuss which surgery and was meant to get my date (it came in the post the following week). Some people meet their surgeon before more test etc so I imagine unless someone from the same trust has the answer, you may just have to see what the appointment brings x

Different trusts have different processes. My trust also have two education sessions (which I assume is like your seminars). Which hospital are you under?
