Hi, I'm new on here too. Not due for opp till 20th March. However, I saw a book on Amazon that I think can help you. Read the reviews, and maybe this could have some answers for you.
Hope this helps.

I'm from Manchester UK. Due 20th March!

I'll be your buddy! I'm booked for 20th March. I've not had an appointment to see the Dietitian yet, so haven't been given the pre-op diet yet! I'm in the UK.
The nearer I get to my date, the slower the days are going!

Hi all,
I'm very new to the site, just joined this evening. So a big hello to everyone. I'm going to be having my gastric sleeve operation next month, here in the UK. I have done a lot of research on the main areas of the diet and the op, and have of course discussed this with my surgeon. I just wondered if anyone had any extra advice they wanted to throw in? Anything I won't have thought of/anticipated?
Any advice on things to buy in preparation, or that I should take to the hospital with me would be particularly helpful. I've read some people saying to wear really loose clothing, and others suggesting some sort of control-wear to support the tummy area after. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

My husband knows, and my brother. I thought my brother would talk me out of it, so I was pleasantly surprised when he was really okay about it. My husband just keeps asking me if I'm scared, or what I'll do about excess skin, so not overly supportive. I have a friend who had it done, she's the one that told me about it, and although I haven't yet told her I'm following in her footsteps, I know she'll be there for me when/if I decide to. I'd love to tell her, but if I do, then everyone else will know, and I'm just not ready to tell yet. Maybe I'll let people know afterwards, but for the moment, I'm happy to keep it to my self. I've got a couple of weeks to go now, and each day is going slower and slower. X
