HELP PLEASE FROM THE UK

Please Help!

Can any one help me out there, I had my bypass Aug. 2014 and had 2 set backs, both from the Aug. Every time I stood up I collapsed or went very dizzy, this took the hospital till Dec. before they fond that my legs just had stop holding blood when I stood up, now I am on a tablet for life to allow me to stand up. Now the second problem also from Aug, I have been complaining about Diarrhoea and this has just got worse, at the start the doctors said it was my body readjusting after being plumbed, but now it is getting worse, there is no infection showing on a staging test but after the breath test they have found a large Bacterial Overgrowth in my new small stomach and my small intestine. I have small amount of control now but very little via. tablets, awaiting a new set of specialists.

I would still have had the op as I have lost over 51/2 stone so far but I am, apart from doctor/hospital apartments I am very worried about going out, has anyone else had or could offer any help.

Just in case anyone is looking at this and thinking about going for the op. this set of side effect I have been told, at my hospital, Salford Royal (Hope) around Manchester, HAVE NEVER BEEN SEEN LIKE THIS TOGETHER OR THIS BAD BEFORE. SO PLEASE STILL HAVE THE OP.

I just am looking for any support out there please.

I feel so bad for you but admire your determination and your good outlook. I haven't had my surgery yet so I can't really help. {{{hugs}}}

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
