Hello everyone!

I am new to this forum and am travelling from here in the UK to Brno in the Czech Republic to have a sleeve gastrectomy on the week of 25th January 2016.

I have organised all this through a company here in the UK called Beautiful Beings (http://www.beautifulbeings.co.uk) and wonders if anyone has anything to tell me about them and their clinics (they have one in Prague and one in Brno).

I made the decision to go overseas purely on financial grounds. I consulted a very highly-regarded bariatric surgeon here in (Mr Kesava Mannur) and the cost was over £9,000 whereas my all-in price in Czech is £4215 so not a hard decision to make.

Hi Kim, I am just like you. My initial consultation was in September. It has been a strenuous six months. I received my approval from the insurance company ????????. A tentative date on 1/25. I feel anxious and nervous as well. Good luck to you!

Hi Everyone

It is getting too darn hot in this house again. It is over 86 inside. We need some air. I got very dizzy today and almost passed out when I stood up. I do not sweat like most folks due and that makes for a very uncomfortable feeling. My roommate shirt is soaked but my face is bright red and I have a headache. So we are heading back over to my friend's house who is in the Nursing home She has no internet. Hopefully the AC part came in and the AC people can get out here Monday to fix this AC. I enjoyed sleeping in my bed but the heat is winning out.

Have a good weekend and hope to be able to be home Monday night.

Mine is on 27 January. I only decided in November to do this and fortunately for us in Australia we don't have any need to wait, I could have done it earlier but have been overseas since Christmas Day. I'm starting my pre op this week, which is 2 shakes and one meal a day. I'm very excited and looking forward to my new life.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
