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!

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 ♡

Can't fault a thing about travelling to the UK. Beat of lick with yours. So nice to be back home recovering.

I did thank God. Booked in for the 1st of October. Can't get my head around it... So nervous. How about you?

I have to do Fragmin shots into my belly for 21days post op. It's not sore, just mentally hate injections so can't wait for this part to be over (4days post op, so still a way to go)

Smell wise I haven't noticed anything however my gas is frequent and stinky!!

I asked a similar question. It's seemingly caused by ketosis... My mouth and breath feel stinking.

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

Under 2 weeks out from surgery now... Things are getting VERY real, very quickly!

And honestly, your life is more at risk. You are older and have more than likely dealt with the weight much longer than your daughter. Your risk ratio is going to be MUCH higher than hers. My family saw the benefits of my surgery. My wife goes to the gym with me, my son's are eating better, because I'm eating better and we don't buy foods that I can't (or am not supposed to) eat very often now. So my surgery has had positive implications for the rest of my household. So, if you do end up getting the surgery yourself, she will more than likely benefit from it as well.

Amazing journey so far Laura.
Congrats - keep it going. Hoping to be on the losers bench with you come October - fingers crossed!

Wishing you the very best of luck... I am sure all will go according to plan. Hope you have a smooth recovery! Make sure to keep us updated!

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?
