Hi Claire and welcome to the form. There is a UK part on the forum with a few regular posters, but there are not many of us which is a shame as having surgery here is very different from the US.

Whereabouts did you have your surgery - was it via NHS or private? I opted to go private as my GP told me I could wait ten years to get it done on the NHS. I had my op at the end of August. I was SO sick for the first 24 hours and struggled to drink anything but as soon as I got home things very quickly improved and now, like so many people say, it was the best thing I have ever done! Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like to chat!

Good luck x

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
