Gastric Sleeve 26th July 2016 - Beautiful Beings Czech Republic

Angela Lima · January 10, 2017

Hi all,

I am about to do a Gastric Sleeve at Beautiful Beings. I am concerned about the aftercare.

Do you think the GP in the Uk would give the support with the exams and dietician?

If anyone can reply I do appreciate.

Thanks

Hi Angela,

Congratulations! It was the best decision I ever made.

If I'm being fully honest my GP hasn't done an awful lot with me. I've heard other people having regular tests being on Vitamins etc but I am 5 months post surgery 5 stone down and am coping fine. I've had a check up with my GP they did take blood which showed everything is good and have left me get on with things.

Every GP is different bare that in mind. Have you thought about talking to them? Just to put your mind at rest?

Wishing you all the best for your surgery.

I'm booked in for the 24th. 2 weeks to go so I've been told no fizzy juice and to cut down.I've got this horrible feeling ill go over there and they will test me and I won't be able to get it done. I always have this underlying thought I may have an ulcer as I get heart burn alot....I hope I'm wrong. The girls at beautiful beings are great. Someone meets me at prague on the 22nd Jan and takes me the 2 hour journey to our hotel. I get tests done in the Monday and op on the Tuesday. I'm so scared of this after pain everyone is on about.

The tia meant thanks in advance)

Hi Angela,

I can't remember his name but he was I'd say in his 30s dark hair, quite easy on the eye. I know that's not exactly helpful but I was so nervous on the day I didn't take much in. Good job I had my mother with me.

Hi Louise,

That's great news. Wish you all the best for your op. I know it's easier said than done as I've come out the other side but there is nothing to worry about.

They discovered I had an hiatus hernia during the endoscopy and it was fine to go ahead. If you are concerned why don't you talk to the girls at beautiful beings maybe they can reassure you.

Yes I did a liver shrinking diet I found on the internet and managed to lose a stone before my op.

Yes they picked me up from Prague also, make sure you hydrate well on the Monday. Yes the op will take place on Tuesday afternoon there are usually three British so you will have some company and your rooms are all next door to each other which i thought was reassuring. The nurses are lovely and the Dr who checks in after the op is lovely. Everything runs like clock work over there and it's very clean too.

I didn't experience any pain if I'm being honest. I went down to theatre around 2ish and I remember briefly waking up around 7ish, my mum was there and I dropped back off and didn't get up until the next day when they were taking me back to my room. The girl Tasha who had it done with me didn't have any pain. Obviously the site wounds were a little sore but I would recommend as soon as you feel comfortable to start walking around. And even if you're not in much pain if they offer you pain relief take it as it helps with moving around.

If you're fine with drinking plain Water great but if not in Aldo's you can buy those little bottles of squash - the low cal squeezy ones. I'd get some of them to help the Water go down. But if you don't struggle with plain water then don't worry.

Wishing you all the best. It was the best decision in the world for me.

Good luck and keep us updated :-)
