I had my sleeve 4th oct - I have had head hunger but no stomach I'm satisfied - today I moved onto full liquids I had orange juice cream of chicken soup and low fat custard staggered through the day and could not finish it all off. I weighed myself and in 42lb down (16lb post op) from my HW 322 CW 280 GW164 My only regret do far is not having the surgery years ago.

Hi smacke - I had mine done for Free on the NHS in Glasgow Royal infirmary - by a surgeon by the name of mrs carol Craig who was wonderful- I heard she also sees private patients via Ross hall hospital in Glasgow - I was on the Glasgow weight management programme for nearly 2 years before getting surgery it was a long road to attend many many group and individual sessions with dieticians and physiologist- the critea for surgery on the nhs in Scotland has recently changed you should look into this with your local health board it's a long road but 1st rate service with free lifetime aftercare xx

Return to work / recovery Time
cathybb36 replied to cathybb36's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thanks very much guys - yes I can drink at my desk and my work expect me to be out for the whole of October so if I get back sooner it's a bonus. I get the good and bad days I think I'm starting to see that myself - I can work from home and have logged on from home to respond to emails ect I think I will take next week off for sure and see how I feel at 2 week point as I don't want to rush back and regret it also see the impacts of reintroducing foods into my diet xx -
Hi Guys I am looking for some guidance about when I should go back to work . I was sleeved on the 4th October my surgeon said recovery was 4/6 weeks but depends on the person - so far all has been good for me I'm feeling good in myself but I'm not sure if on day 5/6 if it's too soon to know if I'll be ok to go back to work in week or how I'll feel and cope at that point - I have a desk based job so physically it's not demanding but it can be quite full on and stressful at times - I am due to staples removed from wounds 17/10 should I wait till after I see doctor ?? Any help would be appreciated thanks Cathy
