I'm from the Uk & would like to hear from anyone else that needs a buddy.

The wait is killing me slowly I am not sleeping well at the moment a good night sleep is 4 hours at most on really bad night 1 and a half hours with all the anxiety about the surgery I.e Am I doing the right thing.Will I get through op and many more questions I am asking myself. Please contact me if you're the same.

Thanks

There is also a UK forum here, might be worth posting there too :)

The site has changed a lot in the past few days but it used to be that you clicked on the persons profile and added them as a friend.

Hope it works for you!

Hi. From the uk here. Literally just downloaded this app so no idea what the score is here yet.

I'm pretty sure everyone will go through the 'should I do this' stage. I've been back and forth about it for 10 months now. I have my final dietician appt tomorrow morning before he does the surgeon referral so I could be in really soon. I still can't make my mind up 100%

Hello shanieO

Where about are you from the uk? I am from Essex.
How did you get on with your dietician appt?
I had my dietician appt 2 weeks ago and was told I will be given a date anytime now between now and 6 months.When I was told at Christmas I would be given a date around the start of March that was only I actually said to surgeon outright when do you think it will be start middle or end of March .So been told different times and the end of the day worse case it will be 6 months.

Congratulations on your surgery.Glad to hear your feeling great after your surgery.
Did you have gas before your op as I get it every now and then at the moment so I don't get it everyday and this was one of the reason they wanted me to have a bypass as I have refused it saying that to me that is really serious op to far if you know what I mean by that.
Keep us updated on how your feeling .[emoji106]

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
