Looking for Pre/ post buddies - Surgery date: 18/12/15

Hello Guys,

Im new here!!!

Im extremely nervous (As I'm sure everyone usually is), Im in desperate need for some support and some surgery buddies as my surgery is a bit of a secret (to my friends and all my family except for my mum).

My surgery date is the 18th of December 2015 in England

Is anyone else getting sleeved around the same day?

Has anyone used Professor Ammori in Manchester?

Hi Ineedchangeasap,

Well done on booking your surgery date!

It is natural to be nervous and I don't want to make it any worse for you but I thought you should be careful given this article. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mums-year-long-agony-after-6340651

Mr Ammori left a tube in someone, I would just make sure your aftercare isn't negligent at all to make sure he doesn't make the same mistake twice.

Welcome and best of luck on your journey.

Hey Slevels1,

Thank you so much!

Yes I actually ask him about it, and I understand that these things can happen to anyone/ any Dr (hopefully not me! Hehehe).

How has your process been?

Hi there - my surgery is actually on the 9th of December - so just a few days before yours. I live in the US - but happy to find someone having the same surgery as me. For me they just moved my surgery UP - it was scheduled on the 15th but they called and asked if I could do it on the 9th. I am nervous. I am really nervous about pain in the hospital after the surgery. All my doctor mentioned was tylenol and motriin and I need real pain killers I am a big baby with pain. I also get anxious when I am in pain.

What are you doing to pass the time between now and your surgery? Did you stick to the pre-op diet so far. I haven't been that great on my preop diet...

Hi all and congrats I'm Dec 15th

I'm also on the 9th.

Im December 18th as well... Yes I'm nervous but that's to be expected and I just literally started my pre op diet and I don't mind the shakes so far. Hopefully everyone will have the best of experiences here like so many have????. Wishing all the best.

I thought I was the only one who was scared that the surgery might not work, or that I might not lose as much weight as I wanted to. Right now I am doing the three shakes a day pre op diet I'm losing my mind its so hard
