Hi there, I have mine on Monday in Cardiff, getting anxious now. Good to hear you are pleased you had it done, I'm worried about the first few weeks but am certain it's the best decision for the longer term. Be good to keep in touch

Almost finished second week of puree.
It's been an interesting learning curve......... Or is that a learning vertical line????

Hi meet I'm in Wales and was sleeved July 2015 in Carmarthen. Best thing I ever did in my life.

Hi everyone, just incase people didn't see the earlier comment, there are two fb groups with similar names, one has stopped accepting new members but the other, 2016 November Sleevers, is welcoming everyone (it's still a closed group but just send a request) It's full of lovely folk so far

Sounds like you're doing well, getting up and about, the pain sounds awful, how long are you thinking you'll need to/want to stay in hospital? My op is due end Nov, excited but scared. Sending good wishes.

I would not be able to go back to work in a week. I spent 4 days in the hospital. Working on getting in fluids and Protein is a full-time job right now.

I don't have a physically demanding job either, and I went back after one week. I don't recommend it though. I had to leave early three times in a week due to pure fatigue. I would come home straight into bed for a nap.
Week two I was much better and more suited for work.

Totally understand! I did a vlcd with shakes etc once and went to bed very early most nights. Can you do the same diet pre op? Did you get a very detailed/specific diet?
