Hi everyone- I'm based in the UK - Scotland to be precise, most of you seem to be USA, just wondering if anyone is closer to home?

My surgery is scheduled for 5th May in Belgium - really wish it would get here quick!

The forum is great - really helped me make up my mind and go for this, so inspiring!

Congrats on your surgery date. There are a few people from the UK here at VST...Keep cheking and I'm sure you will get replies from the UK to this post.

Best wishes for a smooth and uneventful surgery and recovery. Please keep us informed as you progress in your WL journey -Lis

Hi

I'm from the UK. I live in England and I'm due to be sleeved on the 26th May under the NHS in Luton. How you feeling?

Hi Lis and mcteez!

Thanks for replying! Just checked out your photos Lis, you look amazing! Well done!!!

mcteez - feeling ok about it, bit nervous only because tried so many times to lose weight and failed. Really can't face another failure but the posts here are so inspiring giving me some confidence. Had talked to my GP but the wait far too long so am self funding.

How are you feeling about the surgery? I need to lose about 140llbs overall. That's half my current body weight - just seems so completely unachievable!
