Hi guys,

Just wondered if there are any UK sleevers pre or post-op on here? My surgery is scheduled for 2nd November 2016 and I'm on my pre op diet (and starving lol). I'm having my surgery at the Cobham Clinic in the Luton and Dunstable Hospital, with Dr Whitelaw. I wondered if there was anyone local to chat with?

Thanks

Jemma

I'm UK too, I was sleeved on the 15/09 in London. I'm not struggling but feeling hungry. A bit disappointed that the weight isn't coming off so quickly but it's going down so it's progress.

Wow, so you are both ahead of me! Do you still feel it was the right decision for you? I really wanted to ask if your actual stomach hurts? Like the staple line where the stomach was removed? Is that painful? X

No, I was a lucky one. I literally found the whole process quite easy. I wasn't in any pain at all -there was even a time when I questioned if they actually did the correct procedure. The only thing that bothered me was that I wasn't able to sleep on my side for about a week.

I'm 5weeks post op now and doing extremely well. No regrets at all, although I wish the weight would shift faster.

I had no pain at all after surgery.

Even my incisions didn't hurt and the one where the drain was, was an open wound for ages.

I do get burning pain from acid and dense Protein sits like rocks in my stomach so I get uncomfortable but no pain at all.

If you have any doubts, do lots of research now!
