Had my surgery yesterday, still in hospital, didn't think I would have pain like this x

Hi canjam, that was a very quick referral, from dec 13 to April 14. Was it NHS? which consultant if you don't mind me asking. Why did you choose a sleeve against something else? sorry for the questions, i'm just at the beginning of my journey x

Hi Kentlisa
Yes I'm NHS, it has been very quick from referral to surgery but I have undertaken a weight management programme since Sept 2012 so I think that went in my favour!
I thought long and hard about which surgery and most people are undertaking the bypass. I'm not against the bypass but for me it's a bit too much plumbing around down there! I feel a sleeve has less complications and I would still like to have a bit of variety in my diet!
Talk to many people as possible to help you come to the best decision for yourself, wls forum meetings are a good place to meet people who have undertaken wls.
Good luck with your journey.

Hi

So I'm a day out of surgery in very little pain and feeling ok. Still in hospital and just sipping water. Quite an odd feeling in my stomach where the ring is sitting but I'm sure that will pass.

I'm hoping this is third time lucky for me.

Hi. Well I'm allowed to go home today, just had an iron infusion as my iron levels are shot again.

I've had my rny pouch "fixed" as it had dilated and I've had a fobi ring put in. So I'm hoping this is it for me now.

I'm having my sleeve at Leeds Nuffield through THG on the 29 April. Would be good to keep in touch xx

Yes definately! It's a shame we are not the same week. I will be discharged on 25th April. Good luck for your surgery. Will keep you posted on how mine goes. I started my preop diet today, although my dietician advised to start it one week before! Just thought I'd see how I get on with it. Take care. M x

Started my LSD yesterday, its hard but I survived day 1 & most of day 2 so far

My op date is 24th April, not sure its all sunk in yet what i'm doing, time seems to have flown by, keep getting little jitters now.

Good luck to all you April op'ers & look forward to your updates xXx
