Lol,dont worry those thoughts do gradually go away not saying you wont be tempted but its impossible to each anything in real bulk after the operation.Thats not to say you cant enjoy nice food when you have fully recovered just small amounts of it.Have you started a pre op diet yet?If you have not might be an idea to start cutting back gradually and look at some healthy options would make it easier for you when your asked to go on the pre op diet.

Gastric sleeve pains

- Start date
I haven't even seen doctor yet Jason but did have an app but they cancelled it because of the snow . My only concern is my bmi will be classed as 2 low its 35 almost 36 I know its supposed to be over 40 but I do have a fatty liver and disc disease in my back so will have to see what doc says. I am determined this is the year to do something and if get knocked back by nhs will try 4 a loan private. At the mo I am jusp gonna enjoy Christmas then will focus in the new yr. so will you be able to have a small Christmas or is it to early 4 you 2 eat solids ?
Hi Bev, been on antibioctics since saturday night but even though it has improved i still cant bend over or lay on my left hand side.Been in contact with the hospital today but there seems to be no one there that can give me any advice im now just going to drink water for the next 24hrs to see if that will help it.Dont fancy being laid up all over Christmas. Thanks for your kind message and your concern. Jason x

Hi Ruth. I'm no expert but I think basically the sleeve operation is purely restrictive. The stomach is drastically reduced in size, to form a tube and the excess is removed.
With the bypass, the stomach is also drastically reduced in size to form a pouch, but the excess is left in place to drain gastric fluids into the gut. The intestines are also 're-plumbed' so that a degree of mal-absorption combines with the restriction in order to aid weight loss.
In terms of practical issues, Kelly has done a thread on questions about the sleeve which should answer all your questions.
I hope this helps

Hi Ruth,i was put on the waiting list list in April and my operation was 25th November but i was lucky enough to get a cancellation and was given 2 week notice for my operation.They are a great team at the PRU,its just unfortanate for me that i have these pains still.Im seeing Mr Hasani today so hopefully they can sort it out then.I hope your operation comes around quickly for you. Have a Happy and healthy New year. Jason

It would be great if you could come to the monthly support group at Chelsfield with me & Dawn ? The next meeting is on 14 Jan.
