Hi. Newbie, leeds area here.



Recommended Posts

Hello all. Thought I'd come and join you.

I was approved for NHS funding in December, and have my first Consultant appointment in Thursday. I'm having my surgery at Spire hospital in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

All being well I am likely to have my surgery in February or early March, hoping to get my date Thurs.

Excited/scared/bricking it really. Can't wait to start my new life though.

Metherer.

Thanks very much. I've started having a shake for Breakfast, in prep of the pre op diet I will no doubt be given.

Does anyone have any particular tips for success?

Hello, I'm originally from London now living in Birmingham. Still registered at my Doctors in London and having my operation next Friday. Currently going through all the waves of emotions and trying to shift a stone before the surgery on the pre-op diet. I know in the long term it's the best choice for me and I've never been more ready for this journey.....

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
