Hi my dear, I was looking at your profile, you are a real fighter going through so many health problems and being so brave. I am sure you are a very strong person! Eating disorder is a real struggle… I am also having bulimia nervosa, In 2017 I had therapy under NHS (St Ann’s Hospital London) it was very helpful but I don’t think I will ever sort this thing out completely in my head L. I am still struggling with weight loss and chaotic eating. This is the reason I was thinking that the sleeve will help with the loosing weight and hopefully I will learn normal eating again. Did it help you with that? I imagine cravings or binges it will not disappear over the night but still it must be much less than before, no? I checked with the Spires Bushey Hospital last year and they accepted me but we could not find suitable date (as I have children and my husband’s holiday is not flexible), on top of that I got very scare not of the operation itself but scared that I will be sick or depressed after, hair loss, etc (I must have read too many comments on forums). I really want to have it done this year but can’t get over these fears…. L However everyone seems to be much happier after gastric sleeve and it’s probably not bad at all… is it? I wish you well xx

Hello, there is a very nice and supportive group running at Spire Bushy Hospital/ North London (normally is free for their patients), I suggest you give the nutritionist a call to check if you can attend, she is very nice; here is the link with her contact number https://www.spirehealthcare.com/spire-bushey-hospital/consultants/ms-gill-cuffaro-n1002767/ I am thinking of having a Gastric Sleeve at this hospital (self pay) and I attended their gr last year to listen to people's experience, it was very good session and people are very friendly and open. I really hope I will have the courage to have the procedure done, food addiction is messing my life, I am a low BMI but with no hope of manage the weight on my own, however I am getting cold feet every time I am thinking of the surgery. I am new on the forum and your post is since December 2018 but I am sending you the link in case you still need it. I hope you are doing well with your weight loss journey. All the best!
