Hi I'm awaiting surgery at aintree hospital too. I was at a support group there yesterday, I found that a lot of people I spoke to said the pre-op diet was easier than they expected. Hope this helps x
 
Same here my pre op appointment is on the 28th of this month see what happens after that it's a 4-6 weeks wait after that at the aintree hospital that's where I will be having my procedure done
 
Nope didn't go to the support group Hayley1121 What stage are u at I have a pre op appointment on the 28th I normally went to Salford for my dietician appointments but they want me to have my opp at aintree never been there before a bit nervous

Hiya Zara, don't be never out about going to Aintree hun, I live in Cumbria and have been going to Aintree for 12 months now. I cannot fault the staff at all, they have all been fantastic & so supportive. ? I have been approved I'm just waiting for my pre-op but been told it should be end of August & then it's just another waiting game x seems all we do is wait.... All worth it in the end tho xx
 
Yes definitely I have waited for my pre op for 4 months now :( thanks for telling me about the staff there I really appreciate it it has helped me so much as I said it will be the first time I'm going to go to that hospital I hope they don't say lose more weight at Salford they said that's enough what I've lost just sooooo many questions and soooo much waiting lol I just wish it could get done asap lol I'm asking for to much now

I had a gastric band fitted, I was very lucky as I didn't suffer with any wind pain so after surgery I was tender but it was bearable, I had day surgery I didn't go down till 3.30pm as I was last on the list and I was back home by 7pm. The hardest thing after surgery was the boredom as my GP signed me off work for 4 weeks due to having a heavy lifting job. I was like you nervous and excited and everything went through my mind but once the day of surgery and I got to the hospital I relaxed and I was fine. My daughter is 13 so she was able to look after herself I didn't have to worry about small children. What surgery are you having? x
