Welcome cant wait, you've made a great choice, and Gary is a fab guy so I'm sure he'll give you a male version as I believe you will have an extra incision.

lunch - here goes - I told my friends I was going for magic eye investigation (liar liar pants on fire) and I could'nt eat lumps only Fluid and smooth food. so I had:

6 spoons of tom Soup, cauliflower cheese and gravy mashed together about 3 desert spoons, then custard with rubarb (no crumbe) about 2 desert spoon, then ice cream with rasberry coulis 2 desert spoons, we took over 2.5 hrs so i had plenty of time between courses, nobody notices my small potions, because i usually save myself for desert anyway. I was'nt overstuffed, but would not have wanted anymore, all in all it worked out fine.

Considering I was only banded on 13th feb, its all good.

Cant weight.

No probs i was 28 st 10 at the start of nov (BMI 57) and decided to start training again and eating properly, i have lost 8 stone twice in 10 years through eating and training but put it back on. After my consultation Dr Chris would prefer my BMI to be closer to 50 so that was all the motivation i needed. The morning of my op i was 25 st 7 and this morning i was 24 13 so i am 2 pound off 4 stone since nov so a good start even before i get resticiton so i am pretty please.

Feel free to ask any more questions

Contacted cdb and he said put ice on it and check with GP. Done that and he thinks its just delayed post op bruising and swelling and said all wounds are nice clean and not inflamed.

I had told my mum hahahahaha, seems to have went down a bit.

You decided on your menu, i think fillet steak and chips is just perfect, ooops am dreaming again says he as I tuck into a bowl of custard, how flamboyant.

hahahahaha

Thanks for support

Garry

Swelling down a bit today so i am now convinced it is just post op swelling and not an internal bleed.

A good bit still to go down but not worrying anymore.

Thanks for all the concern

Hi cant weight I travelled heathrow to belgium international which is the closest airport to the hotel and hospital with BMI it cost £140 return for 2 people and takes about 1 hour.

Chris, Frediricks side kick, regularly travels via eurostar, when he comes to wales for band fills, so I dont think its too much trouble. Your first priority should be the ease of the RETURN trip the less walking and sitting, and changes and the quicker you get home, will make a big difference. hope this helps. xxxmmmxxx

Hi gary so pleased the swelling has gone down a bit. I noticed mine was a lot less swollen this morning, but comes up a bit through out the day, or it could be my lunch. :tt2:

I changed my dressings today and all looks clean and neat, I have choosen to get the stitches taken out at my local gp, with the surgery nurse, next monday, but I've not yet decided on who is going to provide my band fills, what are you doing

I changed mine the other day but now have removed th plasters to allow them to get air, they are getting itchy so i think that is them knitting.

I have booked a fill with Chris on 19th march however i looked at the wls place you spoke about and the yhave a clinic at glasgow, will decide after first fill me thinks.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
