Wow thats amazing how r u coming with life after ur bypass and a big well done xx

I have been really lucky tbh I've sailed thru, no pain at all, apart from a bit of tiredness in the 2-3 weeks post op you'd not know I'd had anything done, food wise I know what I can and can't eat, and best of all I have my life back and I can shop in "normal" cheap shops I can walk for ages without pain

Hi Talia and welcome. I had a bypass done just nearly 2 weeks ago and I feel great, have lost 14.5 lbs in the last 2 weeks, which is just great. I haven't really felt any pain, just a bit tired half way through the day. Definitely glad I did it. Don't feel like I've had anything done at all yet apart from that I'm not interested in food at all. xx

 

[talia88]

Hi thanks wow well done thats great news how long did u hav to wait from ur per op to ur op date thts great tht ur nt intrested in food thats my big worry that im gonna be stuck in my same ways as I am not I no not to this extent but still worrys me xx

Ours wasn't that way round. My pre-op was the week before the op. I started my journey in April last year, saw the Dietician and Psychologist a few times and the Surgeon once. Was put on the waiting list in January, got my date at the beginning of April for the surgery on 15th May. Everywhere seems to have a different process.
