    Has anyone started a private group on Facebook for October surgery?

    I am 12days post surgery now. Text book recovery and feeling great. Went back to work on Wednesday (9days post op) and it's great to be back into a routine. Already feeling the weightloss in my clothes.
    Long may this continue. Hope everyone is having a great weekend ♡

    Hi guys. Apologies on delay in coming on. Had bypass on the 1st October, had a remarkable recovery. No issues what so ever, very minimal pain and no gas pain... A lot of gas burps but no pain thank God. 7 little incisions across the abdomen and on a little paracetamol for pain but more muscular pain than anything else - like a day late pain after a tough session in the gym. Hopefully recovery continues this well. Was 13lbs down on the liver shrinkage diet and obviously did enough as surgeon was thrilled with my surgery. Went to theatre at 4.30pm and back in my own bed for 9.30pm... Was very sleepy for a while coming around and O2 levels kept dropping but that was it. Was up and out of bed with hair and make up done at 10am the next morning for surgeons rounds. :) I am currently on route to the Ferry (had surgery in the UK) and cannot wait to get into my own bed and surroundings. Hope everyone is doing ok x

    After a long and hard fight to get approval for my Bypass - it finally got approved and am booked in for surgery on the 1st of October.

    The nerves are kicking in already and have been a ball of emotions today! Now begins the next month of a diet to ensure I am in better shape for it.

    I keep asking myself am I doing the right thing, I know I am as I am currently on a horrible road and if I keep going down the road I am going, it's not going to end well!

    Please tell me I am doing the right thing, and that you have all felt similar emotions!

    Hi all.

    You guys are killing it with the weightloss. I am still going through the approval motions but all going well should be getting date set for early October. Which in the grand scheme of things doesn't seem so far away...

    One thing I am doing right now seems to be self sabotaging myself and eating ALL the food for fear of not being able to eat lime this again. Need to get some phsyc consults going before I do serious damage. Either that, or back to slimming world prior to surgery to get down a few lbs.

    I also have a back injury (anterior pelvic tilt)... Which makes exercising difficult. Can you all tell me how much excersise you had to do post surgery to see a difference in weight? I know the pain level will decrease once some weight is lost, but I am just scared that this will never improve. :(

    Hi there! I’m from Ireland too! Dublin! I just had my Sleeve, but I travelled abroad because I faced the same problems you did! If you want any advice message me and I’ll give you my number! [emoji173]️
    Thanks Deargh. Hope your recovery is going well. I am gearing more towards an RNY gastric bypass. How are you getting on with your sleeve? [emoji178] where did you travel for your op?

    Hi guys,
    Have been a little absent in recent weeks - have been busy with work and trying to get consultants here. So I have finally made a decision having seen a consultant. I am going for the gastric bypass - just waiting on fund approval from insurance and then should be good to go. :) hope you are all well x
