I'll be there around that time too then. Give me your number and I'll meet you with some dietary information - some print outs. We'll have a chat and take it from there. Can you get there a little earlier? My appointment is 1.5hrs earlier than yours.

Hey Tranquil..

I know you've had a rough time.. from start to finish..

I also know that this choice of surgery wasn't what you wanted..

But just so you know.. we're all here to help in anyway we can..

I have my first post-op appointment tomorrow.. to be quite honest i dot know what to expect as our previous knowledge of Walsall Manor, we should'nt have high expectations.. right?

But my appointment is at 3pm.. So hopefully i will see you there.. Ermm.. Ill be the one looking nervous with my son (having to take him out of nursery for silly appointment time, but we know never to turn down a appointment at Walsall manor, it only leads to back log!) and partner!

I feel as after-care from Walsall Manor.. there is lack of it..

&& I live by that booklet and peoples experience on here..

So im looking forward to this appointment hopefully shedding some light on my experience to come..

If you ever need to chat to a fellow bander.. Im free any time..

I know I am not a bander by choice. However it is in me now - further surgery is out of the question and I am going to make it work for me. Like the bypass I know it is a tool and it is down to me. I value the support of you and the other banders. I know from reading the threads on here that it is going to be hard going but I am now ready for it.

Hi Tranquil,

I've not been on the forum much lately so forgive me if you've already explained this elsewhere. Have you got a band over a failed bypass or were you never bypassed at all? If it's a BOB (band over bypass) then you still have the benefit of shortened intestines.

I am assuming that nothing was actually cut although I really do not know as I have yet to receive an explanation as to what did happen exactly. I have my first pot op appointment tomorrow when I hope it will be explained. Otherwise I will be requesting a meeting with Mr Khan to discuss it.

Tranquil,

So it was your first surgery and not a revision (which what I initially thought). I hope you get to the bottom of what happened in surgery. I'm just surprised that the surgeon or his team did not fully explain what happened to you before you were discharged. You are quite right to say all surgeries are just tools. It's what you do with the tool that leads to success. You sound like you have your head in a good space even in the face of what happened in surgery. Wishing you great success.
