Please god. Don’t leave me with a big nose and earlobes!!!

Hi. Thanks for replying! At last - someone I can talk to! I’m having the gastric sleeve on 11th January. I’m currently about 230 pounds. Had enough of being depressed about weight and not being able to stick to a diet. I’m 55 and want to change my life forever! How about you?

So glad I found this forum. I can now sound off a bit and speak to likeminded people.

Hi Leanne, I’m in Kent. I have got my surgery 11th January. Giving myself plenty of time to absorb what I’m about to do to myself. It’s certainly a roller coaster of emotions and I worry about how I will deal with not being able to eat and drink after, but then that’s why I am here in the first place. So it’s about trying to balance the positives with the negatives. I’m not worried about having the surgery at all -it’s just the after and the total change of lifestyle that I’m going to have to let go of! Anybody else had or have the same feelings? How do i get through this bit?
