Thanks Teebird, bobobaldy ,wishful and Gillian for replying. So what your saying is I have to email frederic with my flight details?

Hi Homecare just e.mail Fred with you flight number and time of arrival, then when you arrive outside of the arrivals bay look for the blue and green logo for ecfs you taxi driver will be waiting there for you holding the sign up, he will speak English so no worries there, the taxi rank is just outside the doors, he will know exactly where to take you he's more of a chauffer than a taxi driver and the cars are lovely and large with leather interior.

I would also e.mail Fred your departure details also so that he has them on record.

The next Morning the day of the op go to reception within the hotel and your taxi will meet you there, the driver will know your room number,so that you wont get mixed up with anyone else, again he will know exactly when to take you.

Communication is a bit slack but the arrangements always work without a hitch. :biggrin:

hi again everyone hope your all doing well:thumbup:

anyway im trying to get a list ready highlighting all the things i should take with me to for the surgery pre/post op and also for using in the hotel afterwards??

im sure someone on the sight did have this posted re what they were taking and thought this was a great list but i cant find it now!!!:unsure:

does anyone know if they did do the list or who actually posted it and even possibly when as that would help me having to go through each and every page on here??

many thanks:wink2:

p.s homecare..... i sent frederik my flight details when he emailed me that he had received the deposit couple of weeks ago,however not heard anything since?

i think i will ask him to confirm everything again via email a few days before i fly out,especially for more info re the consultation time,taxis,timings etc just to give me better piece of mind!

Hi girls, sorry i havent been around, I was helping my daughter get rid of some nasty trojans and Worms on her laptop, that her naughty teenage son had got for her by going to some dodgey sites and downloading stuff and not scanning them.

I put a virus scanner on my flashdrive as she couldnt get online, but there was problems with it, so i was checking the flashdrive on my pc (how stupid) and got all her virus's.

I am in the middle of backing up my system and formatting my hard drive.

Then I have to install my operating system again, which takes an age.

I am on my other pc atm, but I've been at it all day and I'm so tired now.

not lost any more weight on the scales, but clothes fit better and my hairdresser told me on Tuesday that I had lost loads of weight on my face!!!! gee what about the bod?....Anyway its coming off.

See you asap take care chicks and chaps xxxx

Oh and Sammy have a great holiday sweetie xxx

Thanks mmm Congrats on the weight loss. So theres a blue and green logo, I think I remember bobo baldy saying the taxi driver holds this up. I also would like to have a list of pre op and post op things to take. Ive got my nurofen melts, Iam already taking milk thistle, Ive got arnica but dont know when I should start taking this and lastly chewable vitamins. I know you wear the hospital gowns but need slippers. What about light dressing gown as I dont want to be showing my A**e, if the gown has an open back?:unsure: I see some people bought dressings, will I need to take these with me? I know Il need to take loose clothing. Will I be able to read a book? Anything else please advise:ohmy: Thanks J x

Hi homecare, i took my dressing gown but didnt wear it once and wish i hadnt took it, the gowns dont show anything so your ok, and after the op i used the bedpan till i felt ok too get up too go the toilet, i didnt take any dressings with me just had them at home ready for when they needed changing. You can take a book with you and if you feel up too it then you can read, doesnt matter if you dont, everyone is different after ther ops x

Thanks wishful is there anything else you can advise me to take? J x

For the hospital.. your wash bag, hand towel and slippers, and then for the hotel i took slim fast (didnt drink it tho)a couple of cup a Soup with no bits, rennie and nurofen melts, i only managed a 1/4 of the cup a soup as that filled me, if your going on your own take slip on shoes/trainers as you wont be able to bend over to fasten, and loose fitting clothes. I felt hot and a bit dizzy at the airport and asked for a wheel chair.. i explained that i had surgery and they got the porter who took me and my partner straight threw and we didnt have too queue at all, so dont be afraid too ask for help if you need it, i think i would of passed out if i had too queue, not because of pain so dont worry, its because im not brilliant after anaesthetic x

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      2. BabySpoons

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
