Gastric Sleeve Surgery 25th March - UK - looking for buddies anywhere

[pooch123 3]

Hi, I have surgery scheduled for 25th March and would love to find some buddies/support to help me/us though this.

My emotions are going from scared to excited so would love to make some friends to 'share' it with. xx

oh my goodness Mandyboo you are so close. How do you feel?

[pooch123 3]

You are so close.... How is it going? Are you funded it yourself?

[mandyboo 21]

I feel ok actually... Not really nervous or anything, more worried about my mum looking after my kids for 2 nights :-) I hate this pre op diet tho! :-)

Yes self funding, I paid my bill yesterday ! Yikes! Are you self funding? :-)

[pooch123 3]

Hi, I am funded this myself. It is almost impossible to get surgery in the UK otherwise...

[pooch123 3]

Yes am self funding. Luckily no kids to worry about. But feel like an ostrich.... Burying my head in the sand and hoping all will be ok

[mandyboo 21]

Who are you going with? I'm with spire :-)

[pooch123 3]

Yes I am with Spire in Solihull

[mandyboo 21]

Lol, I feel like an ostrich too actually. I've not met anyone who has had the surgery, and I'm keeping it secret :-)

No way!!!! Which surgeon????

[pooch123 3]

Yes I am also keeping it secret and am coming up with all excuses as to why I cannot go out for meals :-)

[mandyboo 21]

I have mr Nijjar :-)
