Waiting for gastric sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm waiting for my gastric sleeve in the next couple of months. I'm from London , England.

I keep going from desperately wanting it, to not wanting it at all.

Is there anyone else on here that feels like that?.

I went back and forth for a long time about whether it was the right thing for me. I was sleeved ten months after I started the program, which is a lot longer than most people take, but I wanted to be sure that my head was in the right place.

Good luck! It's a tough decision, but you'll figure out what is best for you!

I think it's the hanging about waiting for that the worst. I have been on the program since June 2016 but as it's on the NHS it takes ages.
Have you ever regretted it ?

Sorry the weight has been so long it leaves a lot more time for questioning the decision. Once it is done you will probably think how much you wished you could have done it sooner. I wanted surgery 5 yrs before I actually had it. I did not have my husband's support and as private pay that made doing it without his support hard. Eventually I did it anyway. Now I looked back and think about those 5 extra yrs of not being able to live as fully as I can I can now. I hope your wait ends soon. Yes there are always some who regret their decision but not very many.

I cancelled two sleeve journeys to finally make the third. I'm glad I finally did it. No regrets at all.

      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.
