Hi

I want to pay private for a gastric sleeve , I am from the U.K. . But prices in uk are to expensive , so looking to go to European to have it done

Anyone recommend anywhere please ? And no of the prices please ?

Much appreciated . Everyone who can help

I Defo get a mouth spray and the pj bottoms

I bought my chewable vitamins today

And windeze lol

I shall pop in sainsburys

How you feeling today ?

When you coming home ?

I leave hospital tomorrow, stay in a hotel for a night and fly back on Monday.

I have some Vitamin sprays for at home, but actually the hospital has been giving me my acid blocker in pill form, as well as my sleeping pill, so as long as it's not too big and you're careful not to gulp Water to swallow them, it seems to be fine? I got some great travel toiletries from Sainsbury's because air france charges for checked luggage so I didn't want to be check anything in, but it meant I could only have liquids in that clear plastic bag so I had to downsize.

Depending on if you're robbie or kaitlyn you may want to bring sanitary pads and tampons, surgery can mess with your cycle so it shows up unexpectedly. I was expecting mine, but had to wear a tampon in surgery. If you're robbie, sorry for the TMI.

Hi

I kaitlyn

I was going to take them , as think I due on when I there anyway . I can't seem to find a hair and nail vitamin in a chew for either ? Any suggestions

I been looking everywhere for small toiletries . I Defo going to sainsburys now ????

Not heard of vitamin spray ! I have bought chew ones !!

I won't arrive in Poland till 11 pm . So you think they take me straight to hotel or hospital ?

Please let me tell you , you have been a god send with all your info.

How long you taking of work ? If you don't mind me asking ?

I finished my last work contract just before the new year and I decided not to look for a new one until after I had done this. I didn't want to put the pressure of long haul travel on myself until I was comfortable with solid food etc. Of course, now I may be going back into education so it's moot, but I'm not working right now.

Boots have small ones as well, but sainsbury's were good for travel sized. They also sold empty travel sized containers for about 50p each if you wanted to fill them with your regular stuff from home. The spray I found on amazon, my surgery company suggested it. After I'm done I'll just go back to pills though now I know I can take them with no trouble. I've never seen biotine (hair and nail) in chewable so you may just have to wait until you're ok with pills. The tesco brand mulitvitamin has it in, but I'm not sure if the levels would be high enough for you.

I'm not sure as to your hotel or hospital, you'll have to check what they say. If it's hotel check that they know you are checking in late so they don't think you're a no-show.

Morning

Great thanks , I off work for 2 weeks . I just play it by ear thou . I going to sainsburys today . To get pjs and small toiletries . Yes I prob go straight to hotel . I be shattered by then anyway .

Have a safe journey home tomorrow .

Hope you don't mind me asking . Do you need to lose a lot of weight ? I am 6 stone over weight . I am

When I started preop I was 122kg (19.2 stone) so I have a good 60-ish kg to lose (9.4st-sh). You can follow it on my tracker as I make progress (hopefully).

With the work thing, even if I worked in the UK it wasn't so much the pain I was worried about as the fact that you frequently have no energy until you hit solid food, so I thought lasting the day at work might be too challenging. Everyone reacts differently though.

Ok Defo do that

How you do the tracker ?

What do I type in ?

At moment I 17 st 6 lbs

I use my fitness pal right now, I like the fact that it has an app and you can scan barcodes rather than enter every food, but it will refuse to close out your day (post to your timeline) if you are under 1000 calories, which is annoying me a bit. I'd like a good tracker specialised for bariatric patients if I can find one, but if not MFP tells me my grams for my nutrients and that will do.

Hi there! I'm in USA. I get my chewable Biotin from costco. Try Amazon if you don't have one. I wasn't allowed Vitamins until the one month point of healing. I'm curious if you are having the surgery without the big incision? Some of the European posts talk about incision drains. I have 5 inch long incision scars on my belly. One is in my belly button. They closed them with surgical glue. I woke up with no stitches, no bloody oozing and no bandages. It was pretty amazing.

Best wishes on your surgery.

I had stitches and a drain, but big incision (the one they took the stomach from) is about 2-3 inches long, the other 3 are quite little.

But you well are you ?

You walking around and everything are you ?

I'm fine, taking a flight tomorrow and given that I have to do through CDG I'll be have a mile or two to walk between terminals.
