Nobby UK 19 Posted March 18, 2014 Hello All To cut a very long story short; My surgery was performed on the 20th Feb 2014 and I was to have a Gastric Bypass. My surgeon found issues which would prevent the Bypass, therefore he chose to perform a Sleeve instead...I was devastated when I found out, so disappointed! Now, I am over the moon, i love my sleeve! I am 47 lbs down - long way to go, but bring it on. Good luck to you all. Nobby 9 lauri407, Kori eats cake, ProudGrammy and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hvsg 2 Posted March 18, 2014 I was sleeved on the 24th of Feb. I am so sorry you had such a big change at the last second and didn't know until after surgery. I am glad you are happy with the results though. Best wishes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cinthysline 20 Posted March 18, 2014 47 pounds in a little over 3 weeks is amazing. I am jealous. I have only lost 8 pounds in 13 days. Congratulations on your success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobby UK 19 Posted April 5, 2014 Thank you so much for your kind, supportive words. We are ALL doing tremendously well!! A little update; My weight loss has stalled a little, but I am not overly concerned. I feel great and my mobility, stamina and general labido are hugely improved. I like the new me...although the new me does not have too many clothes that fit correctly...but that's a nice problem, right? I am flying back to the UK in early June, to attend a family wedding. My goal is to wear a suit that I have had hanging in the wardrobe fo the last 6 or 7 years, a suit I thought I would never wear again. There you go, that's my new target; I'll post a picture of my wearing my target Suit before I leave fo the UK. Watch this space. Good luck and God bless Nobby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
