Hi Guys, Im from the UK and had my surgery done privately in Leicester. Im 5 days out of surgery and feeling positive. Im adopted and this process started after finding my birth mother this time last year and then finding out my father died aged 32 from a heart attack, which is I suppose is as good a reason as any. (Im 35 years old and BMI 38) I found the pre op hard but lost nearly 2 stone prior to going in hospital on Monday this week. The surgery went well (according to the surgeon). The next few days were pretty sore but now feeling better each day. I will keep everyone posted as things progress. Im desperate to get back in the gym and really get into the "losing weight" stage. (Patience isnt my strong point!) To anyone who is thinking of getting the surgery done my advice/thoughts are this :- Why go through life thinking what if......you get one shot at life and surely it is best to live as healthly and positively as possible rather than, "what if "I ,"I wonder" Ive found these forums extremely informative and hopefully my journey will be as positive as other who have previously posted.

Hi Guys, Thanks for all of your replies. Well its been a couple of days and the pain has almost gone. Im having the clips out tomorrow and hoepfully i will feel even better. I was a bit ambitious yesterday and went for a 10K cycle around local villages. I throughly enjoyed it , although I do think i over did a bit. but hey ho! Started back at work today which went fine. (office based generally so not really physcial!) Im definitely feeling the sleeve when I try and eat or drink. Im currently eating milky ready brek (in a babies bowl) in the morning and a cup a Soup for lunch and then a further bowl of ready brek for tea (Rock and roll lifestyle or what!!) In between im having a a lot of Water. Have got a soya Protein shake starting tomorrow so will see how that pans out. Gym tomorrow night for a cycle and power walk. Ive not got on the scales yet (tempting as it is) will wait another week but defintely feel like clothes are fitting much better. Anyway, Thanks again. Its great to feel the support and hoepfully the downward trend has now started and long may it continue. Speak soon Rob
