Thanks everyone
Sruggling a little today with the pre op diet
Also coming to terms with not eating normally in the future, most likely last minute nerves
Also what is the pain like after the operation, how long I am likely to be off work around two weeks I believe

Hi i had my opp last Friday, the staff are great, the 6am wake up calls are hard, they moved wards yesterday from B25 to B26 which is a mixed sex ward with side bays. one of the best things is there are so many people on the ward having the same opp as you that you get a chance to talk to someone that knows what you are going thourgh. hope it all goes well for you.xx

 

[Durhamlass14]

Thanks very much
Hope you are well and doing Ok

Good Luck Durhamlass - Hope all goes well for you hun x

I had my band 6 months ago.

It can be a bit uncomfortable after the op for 2 or 3 days, just take it easy, take any painkillers offered, and gently move around to help with the trapped wind..also take something in with you for any wind that may help.


Looking forward to welcoming you to the losers bench x









Love Kat x

Hi

Good luck for next week

B25 has just moved yesterday opposite and down corridor to B26 (in direction main reception) which is a modern ward having 4 x 5 bedded bays plus side rooms and each bay has its own shower/toilet facilities.
Although they are classed as mixed sex wards it refers to the whole ward and you will be in an all female bay.

Thanks everyone, four days to go I cannot believe it I am feeling very apprehensive
