Hi All,

I am new to this and i think i have some how found my way on to a USA site oops!! :rolleyes:

hope you dont mind having me? I am from Rayleigh,Essex in England.

I am a 35 year old mother of 4 i have been following the route of getting a gastric bypass for 2 years now!

I have finally been approved by the nhs for my surgery which will be taking place on the 22/06/12.

I am very excited and nervous all in one go.i Have had to pack my kids of to my parents in Spain for a few weeks to give me a chance to recover as you can imagine having a 10,6,4,3 year old i am on the go all the time!

I really want to meet like minded people and be supported and be a supporter!!!

If you dont mind me being over the pond?

Much love to you all and hope all is well xxxxx :D

How very true. So where are you in the cycle of surgery I have 31 days till surgery for a rny gastric bypass. I am learning things every day but looking forward to feeling so much better about me and being able to do more! I am lucky my husband is very supportive or I wouldn't be able to do this alone. And now pleased to be meeting people who feel the same x

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
