More and more questions (sorry)

[ClairGee]

So, I've been doing a lot of searching for surgeons abroad. I think I've settled on Prague Beauty.

Has anyone on here had there surgery done here?

Also for the long timers

What happens when you get to goal weight? How do you maintain it?
I mean like, I'm now 19.7 and ideally want to be 13/14 stone, that's my comfy sexy feeling weight. But my ideal weight is between 8.7-11.7 so at 13/14 stone I'll still be over weight. Will it be possible to stop loosing at that?
I hope that's not a really stoopid question lol.


Could the people that have had a bypass give me the good points and bad, just if you have time please, I like to know everything before I go ahead and book!!
How has it help and hindered your life?

Sorry for all the questions.

Hi hunni, I self funded but I had my op in the UK, I really don't have any bad points I have been really lucky and sailed through my first year (Bypass nov 21st 2013) I am still losing but it is a very slow rate now (Lost 10st 7lbs in the first year) I am losing at the rate of 1-2lbs a week which is fine by me, even if I stayed at this weight I'd be extremely happy as I fit into size 12 and sometimes size 10

Post op I had no pain at all and took no pain killers whatsoever, just really tired for a month but that soon passed. I now weigh 11st 12lbs from my start weight of 21st 7lbs

Good luck with your journey.

Do you still go out for meals and stuff? Eating out and family meals are quite a big thing for us so I'm kinda worried about that too. X

Yes I go out for meals at least 3-4 times a month, I choose carefully, depending oh where I'm eating, if its a cheap and cheerful pub meal I may just have a starter, if its somewhere a bit posher I may have a bit of grilled chicken I still only eat a quarter of of a meal but I no longer worry about what I leave so long as I enjoyed it

I had my bypass over. 4 yrs ago now,my foods are very limited,I dump very easy but it keeps me on the straight and narrow.
My start size was 24/26 I'm now 12/14 I stopped loosing at 15 months out,then you have to be very careful.
I have had a few issues with this bypass,but I can't change it now.
It is a life saving operation but for some,once the "honeymoon period" has ended.....reality sets in.
Good luck x
