So my surgeons secretary just called me, I have a date for sleeve gastrectomy, 3rd of February!! Start of my new lease on life! Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Think I'm gonna stick with unflavoured too, and maybe order some samples x Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

I'm 14 months into the process now, will be around 16 months come surgery. I'm totally blessed to have it done via NHS, my GP said I met the criteria and referred me and it has steam rolled from there ???? Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Wishing you the very best of luck for your conversion surgery. I love the way you write, so open and honest with humour thrown in. I'm pre op, sleeve surgery is in around 8 weeks. It's so different over here in the UK, obviously we have the NHS so if you meet the strict criteria then your op is paid for. Then you just have to jump through whatever hoops the surgeon requires. Sounds like you have really been through the mill! Following your progress x Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

I'm researching various Proteins now, but struggling. Lots of different info from various sources. It would be so much easier if there were universal guidelines lol x Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for all the info! Wouldn't it be so much easier if every surgeon had the same guidelines for post op lol x Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Hope all goes well for you! I have been told to look into Protein shakes, and also slim fast. I guess different areas have different aftercare maybe? X Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Congrats! We have similar stats I'm currently 319 and 5ft 6". Surgery is in 8 weeks. Wishing u a speedy recovery x Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Hey! I'm new to the app and due for surgery in around 8 weeks. Trying to get everything together for post op but really struggling with which Protein to get? I see most people across the pond tend to go with Premier Protein, but that's not available over here. So what are our options? Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

My surgery is in around 8 weeks and this list pretty much answered all of my questions and fears. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App
