Hi im a uk sleever . After many years struggling with diets some good some bad , slimming pills i finally decided my best option was surgery. Initially i considered the lap band but after much research found many complications with the band and disapointing results . I discovered the sleeve via many usa led forums.after much research i decided the sleeve was the answer to my life long struggle at 44yrs old with a bmi of44 enough was enough. I researched a surgeon mr. Simon dexter leeds uk and booked a consultation in october 2011, he explained all my options for bariatric surgery and we both agreed the sleeve was best option. So 11th november 2011 i had my surgery. Was admited to hospital 7am taken to theatre 830am and woke up in my room by 11am. I had one iv fluid insitu and no pain whatsoever. At 2pm i was allowed to get out off bed and start my first lap of the department absalutly no pain and no nausea. I walked on the hour every hour and it helped shift my gas. Spent a comfortable night slept well no pain and no analgesia required.next morning i was allowed sips of water then at lunch time tomatoe soup (heaven). my drip was discontinued and was allowed clear fluids and soups was discharged from hospital sunday so spent 2 nites there. I am now day 8 and have been able to drink 2 litre fluid plus soup and protien shake. I can honestly say it has been nothing like the horror i thou ght it would be. I can 100% say it is the best thing i have ever done i have lost since pre op diet 1 week before surgery 34 pound i cannot belive the diffrence it has made me feel already. So i just wanted to say to all pre sleevers you will be fine
