Gastric Sleeve on October 14th

[Maidenhail 16]

Hi All

i have gastric sleeve surgery booked for October 14th. I live in UK but as I’m paying for my own surgery I’m having it done in Turkey.

I’ve spent a lot of time researching the hospital and surgeons but I’m pretty nervous.

My mum is coming as moral support.

I haven’t found the pre-op diet easy - I have a busy, job that’s rather stressful and last week I had a few days where I felt weak and faint.

Hopefully all will go well with the surgery- I will update you all then. It’s been great reading about other people’s experiences.

I'm not sure what it would be like in a foreign country hospital.

Just keep focused on the future and the positives.

I'm going to surgery on 28th in Australia I live. I got insurance but still have to pay out of Pocket..

Only traveling around 300 (460km) miles round trip for surgery which is far enough for me

Good Luck with your surgery!

Really good thanks! I had the surgery done last night 9pm and feel good today. I’ve been walking about and am drinking Water and apple juice.
