Hello my new friends!

I'm posting for the first time in this fantastic forum! I've been reading you for a few weeks now, so I thought i'd better intruduce myself. I'm a 34 year old Mamma of a toddler, Italian, graduated in the UK, now living in Switzerland for the last 9 years. I had the VSG on October 31st at KCM Clinic in Jelenia Gora, in Poland.

I had the lap band in 2006, through to 2012, when I had to have it removed because it displaced itself upwards. Then had my son and piled a lot of weight to reach 328lbs before the pre-op diet.

Now I'm down to 302 lbs , and already feeling the benefits of a lighter me. ????

I decided to go to Poland to get it done relatively fast and cheaper.

I'm very happy to join your Family, and look forward to posting more snd reading you more.

I also have a blog where I tell my story in a bit more details.

Welcome Barbara! Congrats on your revision surgery and thanks for sharing your story!

Welcome to the site. This journey is quite an adventure.

I am curious about having surgery in Poland. What kind of post-surgery support you are receiving? Do you have a nutritionist (NUT)? Were you provided with a comprehensive plan post-op food plan?

Hi Barbara! I'm Barbara too!

I went to your blog and watched your video. Love your accent, and you are as cute as you can be! Good luck and I'll keep reading for your updates! Enjoy the ride!

Hello all-who-replied!

About the op in Poland, the post-op service is basically non-existant.. But I have a good network here in Switzerland (NUT, endocrinologist, surgeon and Gestalt therapist), which I built myself over the years, since I have been flirting with the opration idea for years..

Thanks for your warm welcome! More videos to come to my blog ????

Barbaras Rock!

Uuhh, and I forgot, I did get a post op nutritional plan, just no more appointments.

Thanks

It's great to hear you have built a support team. That is so critical for your success in my opinion.

I look forward to hearing about your journey.
