Sleeved and feeling good!

[Albus 130]

Hi all,

Got sleeved 2 days ago and am feeling pretty decent!

I decided to travel to Belgium (from UK) as wait to get done on NHS was going to be too long and couldn’t afford private treatment. I have to say the experience was fantastic and would do it again in a heartbeat. Dr Dillemans and all of the staff at the hospital were excellent, op went smoothly (apparently my stomach was very large) and other than a rough hour or two immediately post op pain has been minimal! Flew home today after a nurse visit at the hotel and glad to be back home

Looking forward to things settling down and getting on with my new life 😃

Congratulations ALBUS. You made it home in plenty of time for the Royal Wedding🇬🇧 See , if you had waited for the cogs and wheels of the NHS to finish their revolutions, you could have been in hospital,or worse still waiting. It sounds as Though you did the right thing for you at the right time and for the right reasons. Now heal and grow healthier each day and keep us updated.😝

Congrats! I'm getting sleeved by Dr. Dillemans in Belgium as well. Having my surgery on August 18th.

How did you feel the next day? I'm doubting whether to take a cab home on the 19th (3 hour drive to the Netherlands) or take public transportation (about 4 hours, but have to do some walking when switching trains). Thinking the cab is probably the best option, but it's about a 300 euro price difference. 😅

Hi, sorry I just saw this. Next day felt not too bad, we had to get the train back to the airport then there was a fair bit of walking about. Was a bit painful and wouldn’t have wanted to be dragging bags about but definitely doable, walking itself was fairly comfortable, bumps in the road and going round corners in the car less so!

Personally I’d get the train and spend the 300 on new clothes which you’ll need soon enough!

Good luck and hope it all goes well
