hi every one, now a full paid up member of the sleevers, 4 days post op with no problems at all really, 1200ml of Fluid and 3x 50 ml shakes daily, my surgeon and nurse are happy with that, still a little sore and a bit of gas but nothing that i cant handle, not weighing for 7 days, then will post. best wishes every one.

Good on you PaulC, I love it when some of us just float through these complex surgeries -- skilled Docs and good attitudes, way to go PaulC!

i am having my sleeve surgery on july 20th at spire hospital, leicester uk, i am 55 yrs old 5ft 9 tall and 350lbs, i have cashed some of my pension money to pay for this, otherwise i may not be around to collect it when its time, after reading every ones blogs i really cant wait to get it done! i am so exited about the future now. so no second guessing, no regrets, keep looking forward. best wishes to you all you put me on a positive path.thank you!!

Indeed paul, you will do great and you were spot on on the pension money question. At our weights, only our families would be using what we earned...

Best of luck, remember, walk and sip, every day after surgery!!

As long as it is not a racing bike (where you are bent over the handle bars, etc.), probably within three weeks. I have more of a cruiser/mountain bie and did a 6 mile gentle ride the end of week three. But as in all things, check with your med team first..
