  • 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

      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.
