Hi everyone , I had bmi of 30 and like similar stories have read , probably unconsciously gained last bit , as has been so frustrated and as got older , almost 54, was so disheartening . So self paid and had surgery , gastric sleeve Tuesday 4/4/2017. So now Day 3 post op . So far so good . Expected much worse as am also a. Nurse , and had looked after people years ago when only choice was banding or bypass . Enjoying reading all your posts as can relate
