  • Hi Booklean,

I too had my surgery with Cosmetic Bliss in Czech Rep. I am 2 weeks post surgery and I feel good. I am managing to get in my Protein (using Protein powder) and fluids. Tomorrow I move on to sloppy food and I can't wait. The reason I chose CB was

  • I had a BMI of 46 and so did not meet the criteria for the NHS (has to be 50 in my area or 40 with health issues)
  • The surgeon has vast experience of sleeve surgery. Sleeve surgery is not that common in the UK yet though it is increasing, surgeons usually recommend band or bypass.
  • cost

Hi Booklean and anyone else from Ireland. Forgot about this site but got some email notifications so decided to update on here.

I had my op on 22nd of September 2010. I've had no real complications since and everything has gone well. So far I have lost approx 12 stone and am now expecting a baby this coming September!

Still losing very slowly during pregnancy but have been assured baby is getting all it needs. Would love to hear how everyone is doing.

Hi coops,

Thanks for your kind words. I'm feeling great. No complications so far. I had very bad morning sickness and my gallstones started acting up 4 weeks ago. Ended up in hospital for two weeks but all fine since then thank god. Have to remove gallbladder after the baby.

I still have about 6 stone to lose and a lit of excess skin but fingers crossed ill get there :-)

It has been the best decision I have ever made to be honest and I hope reading this thread helps people out there to get the courage to go for it.

It changed my life. I was 32 stone and could barely walk. I'm now 20 and feel like a new person.

I hope your doing good and feeling fab x

Emma

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
