Hi. After years of struggling with my weight and going from losing 50lbs with weightwatchers then putting it all back on and more finally plucked up the courage last april to see GP and ask for help. Referred me to UCLH in london and after few appts with the bariatric team I have been approved for surgery. I have my pre op assessment on wed 7th Dec and will hopefully come away with a date for surgery. Am having a gastric sleeve. I know its going to be hard but am going to make this work. Anyone else have the sleeve and how are you doing?

Hope all went well with the pre op.

I got sleeved in October and i'll be honest, the first few weeks were challenging but now I'm on normal food life is easier. Still learning how little I need to eat and body still changing but its getting simpler every day.

Morning. Never wanted the phone to ring as much as I do right now lol. No date yet. Am finding it hard to sleep as always thinking about it. Am excited, nervous and little bit scared but so hopeful. Keep thinking of what the surgeon said "its a tool and it will reset your weight to what it should be".

I think it will be hard but am going to run with this and make it work.

Is it normal to have little niggles (like, should i have gone for the bypass and hope i lose the weight and it stays off as i dont want to go back to the way I ate before)

Have you made the progress you wanted? X

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
