  1. Hi everyone ❤️ I’m 53 and from the UK. I’ve struggled with my weight for many years and have tried lots of different diets, weight-loss programmes and medication. I’ve lost weight and regained it, and I’m now seriously considering gastric sleeve surgery. I’ve recently spoken at length with a bariatric clinic, and after discussing my history and options, gastric sleeve has been recommended as the most suitable option for me. I’m nervous because it’s a big decision and I’ve never had bariatric surgery before. I’d really love to hear from anyone who’s had a sleeve, particularly anyone in the UK. What do you wish you’d known before surgery, and would you make the same decision again? I’d also be interested in hearing from anyone who has had surgery privately in the UK and what their experience was like. Thanks everyone ❤️
