Had mine with Spire in Wrexham. Andrew Baker. Very happy with care before and after. Staff are great and always happy to give advice. Had few stuck episodes which they were great with phoning me back and putting mind at ease that it will shift eventually which it did. Not an easy option for weight loss you have to work at it.

Your so right that's it's not an easy option. Think a lot of people think your banded, don't eat as much and that's it weight falls off. It is tougher and certainly a life change. But all said and done I'd do it again in a heart beat x

I got a call from the dietician on Wednesday and she asked me how my chat with the nurse went, she was pretty shocked when I told her no one has spoken to me since I left Dolan park, she eas very apologetic and said I should have had a couple of phone chats with a nurse!! So I'm feeling pretty hard done by at the moment and unsure if what to do.... I'm quite easy going and I don't wanna kick up a fuss especially since everything seems to be going ok with me, think ill just keep my mouth shut lol

I'm totally prepared for this journey and the hard work it's going to take, it helps knowing I have you lovely ladies to call upon if I'm struggling :)

Take care

Gavin from Huddersfield. Banded 5th June. 6foot1. Was originally 28 stone 3 years ago. Lost 6.5 on Atkins diet. Put 1.5 back on in last year so was keen to get this weight increase nipped in the bud. Lost over a stone since 2 weeks before surgery. Losing 2lbs a day since surgery on 5th. NUTS.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
