Wonderful gastric bypass



Recommended Posts

:thumbup:I am 7 days post op and feeling good, my surgery was carried out by Mr. Sean Woodcock and his team at North Tyneside General Hospital.

Words are'nt enough to thank the surgeon, his team, nurses and staff of the hospital, my treatment and care was fabulous.

Anyone in area thinking of bariatric surgery should press their gp for a referal, all in all the NHS are making it easier for us larger people to get help, it takes some commitment and a little weight loss but its all worth while in the end.

Good Luck

Hey there, Lesley Ann, I am so happy for you. I knew you would get there in the end.

Sean Woodcock is wonderful, isn't he?!?!? Like a great big teddy bear: you just want to pick him up and cuddle him. And he will support you through the process. He is fab.

And now this is the beginning of the rest of your life. Live long, live healthy and live happy. I'm only round the corner if you need me!! Meet you at the Haymarket at New Year?

Hi Lesley Ann,

Glad your surgery went well and you are doing fine!!

May I ask, did you have a revision to bypass from a band? Or was this your first WLS procedure?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery and a new healty you!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
