Thank you everybody! Your support is so importaint! About operation knows just my mum and my husband, so it is importaint for me to share and have all your support:grouphugg:


I def will let you know how I am doing once I back! At the moment it is a bit surreal... Is it really happening? I think I won't believe that it is really happening until I'll be in recovery!

Am imagining silly things - what if surgery will be cancelled or if something goes wrong and it won't be done or I die.... I know everything will be fine, but after my last c-section (bled a lot, almoust died) I have that stupid scare, not of dying, but of leaving my kids without their mum...
But I know Ill be just fine

Hi

I also went to Belgium for a gastric bypass back in April.
Where are you going and who is your surgeon?
I stayed there for eight days and was discharged back to my hotel after 4 days. Everything was fine and I was so well looked after.
I took my laptop with me which I had downloaded some films and tv programmes onto which was a god send when I got back to the hotel as there was only a couple of English tv channels to chose from! I also managed to read a couple of books as well!
Apart from that I just slept and on one day I actually went into the city shopping with a lady I made friends with from Ireland who had the op on the same day! I got tired quickly but we just pottering around admiring all the clothes we would fit into in a few months time ! Lol
food wise I just took some packet vegetable soups which I strained 'the bits' out of , some sugar free Ribena cartons and some low fat actimel. That kept me going no probs!
I travelled alone ( no other choice) and I was fine so don't worry!
Anything else u want to know - just ask !
Oh and I'm 3 months in and 3 1/2 stone lighter so far and not regretted my decision for a second - so good luck !! x
