Hi All,

I am new to this and i think i have some how found my way on to a USA site oops!! :rolleyes:

hope you dont mind having me? I am from Rayleigh,Essex in England.

I am a 35 year old mother of 4 i have been following the route of getting a gastric bypass for 2 years now!

I have finally been approved by the nhs for my surgery which will be taking place on the 22/06/12.

I am very excited and nervous all in one go.i Have had to pack my kids of to my parents in Spain for a few weeks to give me a chance to recover as you can imagine having a 10,6,4,3 year old i am on the go all the time!

I really want to meet like minded people and be supported and be a supporter!!!

If you dont mind me being over the pond?

Much love to you all and hope all is well xxxxx :D

How very true. So where are you in the cycle of surgery I have 31 days till surgery for a rny gastric bypass. I am learning things every day but looking forward to feeling so much better about me and being able to do more! I am lucky my husband is very supportive or I wouldn't be able to do this alone. And now pleased to be meeting people who feel the same x

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
