Hi, I'm considering a sleeve gastrectomy and was wondering if anyone has had the procedure done in Edinburgh, Scotland?

Thanks

Got to be careful in Scotland, they'll make you wear kilts. :)

:) Wish you the best in finding a surgeon there! I really don't know any surgeons in Scotland, but had to comment given my highland games history and experience in wearing kilts. :ph34r:

Thank you :-) Discovered a Uk support group & posted there. Seems the Dr I'm meeting next week is one of the best here & comes highly recommended. Result!

Hi

I was sleeved on 17/1/13 by Mr Carter at Ross Hall. I have lost 2 stone since i went on my preop liquid diet. My weight loss seems to have come to a halt right now which is frustrating since i am only eating around 500cals daily.

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
