Mr Super

[claire36uk]

I am having a Gastric Band op end of September by Mr Super and i was just wondering, does he use glue or stitches? I have never had stitches before and would just like to get prepared incase he does use stiches, when i had my gall bladder out via keyhole they used glue. Any info would be great X

Thanks Liz, i really hope he isnt like he was on that programme, did you have glue or stitches? X

 

[j.u.s.t.l.i.z.]

i was glued both times x dont think about the programme, hes a good surgeon and thats what counts ok xxx

 

[claire36uk]

Thanks liz for that, yeah i know he is a good surgeon i have read loads on here, i will put the programme to the back of my head and just go and get the job done lol, i am just petrified of stitches which is why i asked the question xxx

Found this on an old post when I was looking for something else, and thought it might reassure you

"I have the neatest scars and he glued them so I could shower and bath the same day as he doesn't use dressings."

That sounds like good news!

I had mr super and the below quote sound very much like something I would have said. He is excellent and lovely as well, you will see. He uses glue yes and he advises you have a shower asap.

Claire, I didn't ask them your question the other day when I was at the hospital as no one was there that had had wls. I will ask them on the 19th though. xx

Hi Claire, I had Mr Super, I found him to be really lovely, he sat for about 15 minutes talking cars etc with my hubby (he was going to buy a new car the next day) He was very calming, explained what would happen at the op etc

He used glue which was great and my scars have healed brilliantly, he's a very tidy surgeon!

I didn't see the programme but heard different views about him on here, no-one knows what goes on in theatre when ur out cold, personally I dont care, as long as he does a good job that should all you should be worried about

Good luck

Thank you Kate, thats very true no one knows what goes on when your out cold, just cant believe i have been given this opportunity he seemed very friendly when i went for my first appointment, although i seen one of his registrars which i was a bit gutted about, but at least he said YES to me which was what i was hoping for . I had glue when i had my gall bladder out, i have just one scar underneath my chest that i had a problem with it keep protruding and was really itchy for about a year but i was reassured it was ok, its not itching now but you can still see it. Was you daycase or overnight? I am going with a open mind that it could be overnight. X

I am so excited but very apprehensive at the same time which i suppose is to be expected, i had my head in the right place and then lost it for a while so now getting it back into that place again lol. Do you have msn? if you have, message me your addy and we can chat on there if you like X
