  • Hi Booklean,

I too had my surgery with Cosmetic Bliss in Czech Rep. I am 2 weeks post surgery and I feel good. I am managing to get in my Protein (using Protein powder) and fluids. Tomorrow I move on to sloppy food and I can't wait. The reason I chose CB was

  • I had a BMI of 46 and so did not meet the criteria for the NHS (has to be 50 in my area or 40 with health issues)
  • The surgeon has vast experience of sleeve surgery. Sleeve surgery is not that common in the UK yet though it is increasing, surgeons usually recommend band or bypass.
  • cost

Hi Booklean and anyone else from Ireland. Forgot about this site but got some email notifications so decided to update on here.

I had my op on 22nd of September 2010. I've had no real complications since and everything has gone well. So far I have lost approx 12 stone and am now expecting a baby this coming September!

Still losing very slowly during pregnancy but have been assured baby is getting all it needs. Would love to hear how everyone is doing.

Hi coops,

Thanks for your kind words. I'm feeling great. No complications so far. I had very bad morning sickness and my gallstones started acting up 4 weeks ago. Ended up in hospital for two weeks but all fine since then thank god. Have to remove gallbladder after the baby.

I still have about 6 stone to lose and a lit of excess skin but fingers crossed ill get there :-)

It has been the best decision I have ever made to be honest and I hope reading this thread helps people out there to get the courage to go for it.

It changed my life. I was 32 stone and could barely walk. I'm now 20 and feel like a new person.

I hope your doing good and feeling fab x

Emma

      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.
