Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. Glad did found the UK page. Anyone here been sleeved in the homerton in London. I'm waiting on my blood tests and other bits from my doctor before she will refer me to there. I'm hoping it's not a overly long road as I just want to love my life how I want. I'm sick and tired of being this way now. Fingers crossed. Any advice and guidance will be welcomed x

Hi - I just had surgery in Gloucester - self funding as I live in Wales & it takes forever to be referred - been fighting with GP Local MP Health Minister etc. finally gave in & went private - I can see Homerton is NHS - good luck to you - far easier to have bariatric surgery in England - fingers crossed you get approved x

Welcome to the UK boards. Best advice I could pass on is to really research before having the op. What to do pre op, what happens during the op and how to cope after, especially around food. Knowledge is power :)

Jadeedie amazing your getting it done at the homerton (that's my second local hospital). I know UCH and Queens Romford also do it as well if you don't get much joy with the Homerton

Best of luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
