Hi guys,

Just wondered if there are any UK sleevers pre or post-op on here? My surgery is scheduled for 2nd November 2016 and I'm on my pre op diet (and starving lol). I'm having my surgery at the Cobham Clinic in the Luton and Dunstable Hospital, with Dr Whitelaw. I wondered if there was anyone local to chat with?

Thanks

Jemma

I'm UK too, I was sleeved on the 15/09 in London. I'm not struggling but feeling hungry. A bit disappointed that the weight isn't coming off so quickly but it's going down so it's progress.

Wow, so you are both ahead of me! Do you still feel it was the right decision for you? I really wanted to ask if your actual stomach hurts? Like the staple line where the stomach was removed? Is that painful? X

No, I was a lucky one. I literally found the whole process quite easy. I wasn't in any pain at all -there was even a time when I questioned if they actually did the correct procedure. The only thing that bothered me was that I wasn't able to sleep on my side for about a week.

I'm 5weeks post op now and doing extremely well. No regrets at all, although I wish the weight would shift faster.

I had no pain at all after surgery.

Even my incisions didn't hurt and the one where the drain was, was an open wound for ages.

I do get burning pain from acid and dense Protein sits like rocks in my stomach so I get uncomfortable but no pain at all.

If you have any doubts, do lots of research now!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
