    Hi All,

    So all went really well today. I arrived and got my weight and height taken which I was 3 pounds lighters from the last time I weighed and also half and inch taller. lol

    I then saw the nurse who went few a series of questions regarding food, exercise health and mental health. It was explained that I would then have bloods and a ecg done before heading into the seminar.

    once having my test I sat and took it everything that was being said about pre op and post op relating to food, about the 3 surgery's that are usually offered and also about the new research regarding what is more useful be it the band bypass or sleeve and if you didn't mind having any of them that you could be part of the research if you wished and it is pot luck what surgery u receive.

    I need to wait till April to see the consultant and hopefully if I don't need anymore investigations into my health i will be seen by the mdt team in may to discuss my case. I hopefully will be able to get a sooner appointment but for now roll on April.

    Hey Evie

    I was sleeved by Mr Koak at The Holly Private Hospital in Epping. He is the most gentle and re-assuring surgeon. He also works on the NHS out off Cambridge Hospital. I went private as I did not qualify on the NHS even though I had a BMI of 56. And sleep apnea, high blood pressure plus a fatty non alcoholic liver disease. I've been big for over 25 years and at my biggest I was 25.st 12lb I managed to get it down to 21. St on my own but then never could get past that. I feel like I have a second chance of life! I paid a lot off money however the way I was going my family may have been spending it on my funeral! That's the reality of my story! It is tricky sometimes, my life is different however I do have one! For that I'm thankful! My food intake is good and I don't feel hungry! It's the head hunger I have to work on ., I am in counselling for help with that. That's been a god send! Hope this helps! Good luck Evie !!!

    Hi. Please may I ask you you was not able to get this on the NHS. Seems rather unfair

    Hey

    I was sleeved 6 weeks ago, in London , I can honestly say I've never been sick, my eyes have been bigger than my belly and a couple off times over Christmas, I have pushed my sleeve and felt very uncomfortable to the point where you definitely are reminded of the restriction. My problem is eating too fast , I've really had to learn to slowdown , I'm now eating sloppy food ., cottage pie, fish pie etc, all home made. I now manage 2 -3 table spoons, it depends some days I can eat 3 tablespoons and others just 2 tablespoons. I am learning to chew , chew and chew again, and put my teaspoon down after every bite. I'm in no hurry to eat "solid food" sloppy or semi blended suits me fine. I even blended my Christmas dinner concentrating on the Protein and veg, I'm learning to listen to my new stomach however it has been a working process and still is. Now I would actually say i love my sleeve as I'm 56 pounds down in 6 weeks, and thankful I made the decision !
