Hi! Know just how nervous you feel, saturday just two weeks ago it was me waiting to go down to theatre. Any questions about the actual op or very early days recovery I'm happy to answer although by reading other posts it sounds like everyone's provider does different things, prescribes different drugs for varying lengths of time postoperatively and recommend different post op diets! Still I can tell you about my experience if it helps at all.
For background I'm 38, female, young baby (15 months) and husband, im a midwife, and started my journey at 333lbs on jan 2nd 2013 with the pre-op diet (if I ignore the previous 28 years efforts to lose weight!) i went private after the NHS route proved tortuous and patronising. Im now 300lbs - really happy with the weight loss preop 14lbs and post op 19lbs in a fortnight!

You must be getting excited! Xx

Hi Kim. Good luck with your forhcoming op. I'm 2 weeks post surgery (sleeve with fobi ring at Spire Southampton) and have already lost 2st 2lbs in toal since starting the pre diet on 10th January. I haven't had an complications but have always had difficulty with anaesthetics and opiate pain relief so I didn't sail through the hospital bit like lots of people seem to. However, I was discharged 4 days later and have got better and stronger by the day until I now just feel damned excited for my future and very grateful that I was able to go ahead within a relatively short time of making my decision. I haven't had any sickness since coming home which I attribute to being able to when I am "full". Good luck gain. : )

 

[Kimboski]

Thanks for all the support

Um, what's a fobi ring when it's at home?

 

[Paula Garner]

I think it's a ring they use in revision surgery, to reduce the size of an over stretched pouch.
