Hi Leanne, I’m in Kent. I have got my surgery 11th January. Giving myself plenty of time to absorb what I’m about to do to myself. It’s certainly a roller coaster of emotions and I worry about how I will deal with not being able to eat and drink after, but then that’s why I am here in the first place. So it’s about trying to balance the positives with the negatives. I’m not worried about having the surgery at all -it’s just the after and the total change of lifestyle that I’m going to have to let go of! Anybody else had or have the same feelings? How do i get through this bit?
