No i dont have it , but my mum does and i no she is considering surgery cus im having it and i think the reason she is doubting is cus she is 56 and has A Fib so i was just wondering if anyone has any advise really :-) Thanks Lucy x

Hello everyone, just wondered if any of you have had the sleeve and also have AF? abnd what your experiance is/was? Thanks x

Sorry if i sound silly with this, but if we/you could stick with weight watchers why have the sleeve? x

When i read your post i actually wanted to cry because i feel just like you...scared of everything, scared to move forward and scared oto stay as i am, but i really think by what you have said your ready for this, you just need the support and confidance to get though it. i weigh 377 and am female so very near your weight and i want to live and have a healthy future and having this op will give us our life back...so i say embrase it your/our feeling mean we no what were doing and have not made this decion on a whim!!!!!!!!!! I really do wish you all the luck in the world and im excited you hear your journey...my surgery wont be till early next year. stay positve

Hi everyone Now im not a big drinker at all infact i have only had one drink this year ( red wine) at my sisters wedding but im wondering after the sleeve whats the rules regarding alcohol? i woud just like to know if, now and again when i go out i can have alcohol or is having the sleeve taking that ability away?

what a fantastic post...thank you so much :-) stories like this inspire me and make me beleive this is the way for me

Yep i realise that its a tool, if only we could wave a magic wand :-) i do eat healthy now but to much of it, which is why im over weight. i do eat wrong things to but thats because i get hungry. i have no doubt that i can choose healthy, eat my vits and drink Water i just need to not be hungry as often. has the sleeve ever failed?

Hello everyone I have read on this site and many that lots and lots of people can loose weight but keeping it off is the problem....well i think this may not work for me if its the case of helping us maintain once we have lost the weight. I have been on and off diets for over 16 years and weigh 10 stone more than i did when i started..i cant stick to a diet long enough, yes i can do a week, 2 at most and i give up as i am hungry or crave something thats not allowed on a diet plan im following. does this mean the sleeve wont work for me...i have no will power what so ever and im worried now

Awww bless ya, i have read that diahrea is common after the sleeve...not really sure why, but im sure i could live with that to if it meant i was going to loose weight Im glad to hear your nausea is getting better ...to be honest having nausea is one thing im dreading, but i dont do feeing ill very well at all lol again well done your an inspiration x

well done you thats fab Sorry to focus on the negative but you said your having a few issues can i ask what they are? Lucyx

Thanks for all your reply everyone..............i think the coffee has to go then but its a small price to pay so i wil get over it im sure. Maybe i should start to ween now and get it out the way. Im presuming tea is a no no to then. x

Hello everyone, i was wondering if we can have coffee after the op, i understand that maybe not right away but i have a strong cup of coffee as soon as i get up and was hoping i would eventually be able to have that? I have it blck without sugar

Ummmmmm not really sure what happening there then, but im guessing your body doesnt like the shakes. maybe good if you find somthing that does agree with you b4 your have sleeve x

so have you had your sleeve or are you on the pre-op diet?

Could you not have water?

Hi ya sorry to hear you have had a rough time....lets hope things are looking up for you now Can i ask you a question? do you feel hungry like you did pre-sleeve? that is a big concern....also do you have an regret having the sleeve? Thanks Lucy x

Yeh your right I just get im a panic at times...do you ever feel nauseous? x x x

Kermit...Thanks for your story and i to have come to the conclusion that this is right for me, i just want it "NOW" Im sorry you had such a rubish time before your surgery what with your comorbs but that is just fantatstic that many of these things are resolving themselves in this short space of time...the world is now your oyster Im not overly worried about the surgery at this stage its just learning to change my life and loosing my best friend (food) because it wont be able to be my comfort anymore. ..which i no is a good thing!! I do worry about things like what if i feel sick or have heartburn for the rest of my life, or my hair falls out etc etc or im that percentage that dies and ii leave my daughter but i guess everyone worries x x

I will be having mine done at LRI as well as i live in Leicestershire...i was refered back in 2010 and got as far as the sleep apnea appointement got scared and pulled out, as at that point i was considering the bypass or the band and nether thrilled me to be honest in fact they scared me to death :-( i have done so much research on the sleeve i think its best for me and im slowing starting to think it may be the answer to my life long weight problem. How long was your wait ? You have done so well :clap2: Lucy

Thank you ...im really glad you have no regrets and are doing well. I just want my turn to hurry up x

Thanks for letting us no how your getting on, its seems your recovery is going well and im glad your feeling ok. I dont think there is many people on these boards from the uk which is a shame cus i love to follow peoples progress as im still playing the waiting game. I do read and follow people from the US :-) i very impresed keep us posted x

Can i ask when you say you had issues in the beggining but all is ok now what were those issues? im so concerned about feeling ill for the rest of my life if i have this op that its causing me to have insomnia and i have only just been starting out. Thanks x
