Hello I'm having a gastric sleeve operation on 5th July and needed to talk to others about it - hence finally finding this group and joining. I wondered if there are any others from the UK in the group? Mind you, as I'm quite happy to chat to anyone from anywhere, location isn't that important. Currently on the clear liquids only and if I'm honest, I'm not finding it difficult. Got weighed at my pre-op today and I've lost 17lbs in just over a week! I had an emotional wobble yesterday, I felt unsure if this is the right route or not, but have now decided it was just cold feet and can't wait to get the operation over and done with. I'd love to hear from anyone - especially if they're positive and pleasant. :-D

Hi Like you, I'm a newbie too. My surgery is planned for next Tues. I've never been 'slim', I've lost weight in the past only to regain it and always with another couple of stones. I'm hoping to be back at work a week after surgery, although I know realise I might not be well enough. Have you got a date set?
