Im in Wiltshire. If you want someone local you could ask via your surgeon if you could be put in touch with others who are having the surgery at the same time or if anyone has volunteered to be a support for others.

Best wishes for the surgery and recovery! Not long now :)

That's good to know ????. How are feeling now? How long ago did you have your surgery?

I went to the UK forum and looks like no one has written on it since 2014.

I'm feeling good, thanks, it'll be a year next Saturday for me and I have to tell you honestly it has been an amazing year so much has changed it's pretty unreal - I've been lucky I've had an uneventful journey, I've had a few bad days physically and emotionally but I will say without a shadow of a doubt I have no regrets and would do it again in a heartbeat. I'm excited for you to start your journey, keep in touch and let us know how you're getting on

I'm looking forward to losing the weight but also being healthy. Can't wait for the NSV as well. 8 days til surgery and 11lbs down so far on the pre-op diet!! ????

Hi there! Find it odd that it appears that no one has posted on the UK forum since 2014. I have, and so have loads of others. Hmmmmmm? Bit of a puzzle there. Anyway, I'm not in Cambridge (although I stayed the night there this time last year and loved being back there) but I have had gastric sleeve surgery. I went to Belgium in October last year and I haven't had even the teeniest moment of regret. I am loving every minute of my journey. I love wearing clothes that look like clothes as opposed to family sized tents. I love my level of fitness. My dogs can't believe their luck at their five mile daily walks. I can't believe that I can walk that far with such ease! I'm an ex-dancer and I did my first ballet class for 25 years on my 60th birthday a couple of weeks ago. Yes, I suffered for a couple of days afterwards but I was back for more the other day. This time a swim straight afterwards has really helped. Could I have done all this without having my sleeve done? Nope. I could no more have lugged the weight of eight medium sized new born human babies around with me whilst I was exercising than fly to the moon. I am a very happy sleever and can't recommend this type of surgery highly enough. I had been on the diet misery-go-round for most of my adult life and at long last I have found the answer to my prayers.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
