Very best wishes to Claddah 66 for your op today x Sent from my SM-G920F using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm nearly 3 weeks out and feeling great. On the mushy eating phase at the moment which beats liquids. Hope everyone else doing well also x Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

You're doing great! You look so different. Good luck with getting where you'd like to be. Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

I'm over in England so we definitely don't live near! In Britain our sign language is totally different to ASL although I am planning to do an ASL course soon. Definitely better to only tell people who really care x Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App I'm 2nd April x Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App Hi suepro. Whereabouts in England are you? I'm in Perth Australia...also a long way away but lived in the UK for many years as my father is English. I think the UK was right into the gastric band, and like Australia has recently moved more towards bypass due to the higher success of bypass and dismal failure of the band as a surgical method. I think the band was really a big expensive con! Are you having the RNY or the newer Omega loop/ mini bypass? Sent from my GT-I9505 using the BariatricPal App Hi there, I'm near London. Yes, bands are still fairly popular over here but the sleeve is gaining popularity as well. RNY is the surgery of choice for patients with higher BMI and for people like myself who are having revision from band. Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

How is everyone doing? I am feeling great and back to work. Looking forward to moving onto pureed food. Getting mighty fed up with shakes and Soups. Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Me too! After 6 days I was uncomfortable so took the suppositories. What a relief afterwards, I'm now also taking a stool softener and done my 2nd BM in 10 days. Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

I am 2 days post op and I came home yesterday. Key is to walk as soon as u feel like you can. Really wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.The time I felt really nervous was when I was being put to sleep but the next thing I knew I was in the recovery area. Good luck with everything, you'll be fine. Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

I don't think that it was too much of a problem, the adhesions were apparently harder to sort out. My surgeon said that hiatus hernia are common in Bariatric patients. Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

My revision op was done on Saturday and there were lots of adhesions from my band and a hiatus hernia which was repaired. I'm feeling quite well and incisions look pretty good. Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

I had my bypass on April 2nd and feeling pretty good apart from a pain in my shoulder from trapped air. My liver was fine but there were lots of adhesions from my band and the surgeon also repaired a hiatus hernia. Good luck to everyone who is having an April operation x Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

I'm from London too, having my gastric bypass surgery tomorrow (in Birmingham -long story but I won't bore you). Good luck to you for 22nd x Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for tbe info. Probably OK for people who are scared of actual surgery but I guess the statistics for for longer term success not clear yet.Hope that your sleeve is more successful for you. Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App

What is POSE? Is it a new procedure? Sent from my SM-G920F using the BariatricPal App
