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?

Post Surgery Dec 3

Newbee. Not sure how all this works

Just wondered if anyone else was experiencing what I was.

extra day in hospital due to pain and inability to get Water down.

Still struggling to get water down as a lot of pain when I drink.

little better day by day but didn't expect it to be this bad recovering. Now I hear 5-8 weeks. Wow.

Surgery in a 45mins!!!!

Had my surgery on the 18th to with Dr Ortiz in TJ. To be honest I've had better attentive caring staff here then I've even had in the states. I was nervous at first but it's over now and they were all amazing. No just recouping in hospital for two days then the medicos floor of the hotel for two more days.

Awww that's great joshskid! Are you in any pain?

Actually no pain at all as far as incisions and surgery to, but the shoulder pain from the gas was rough for the first 8 hours or so after that it's called down quite a bit.
