Recommended Posts

:biggrin2:Hi I was banded 24th Nov 07 @ Spire Murrayfield Hospital in Edinburgh the consultants that done my op were 1st class Mr Bruce Tulloch and Mr Andrew De Beaux. I would never have went abroad even if it was alot cheaper I feel you need good after care after having gastric band surgery to help you cope with the good and bad days that you have. Since my op I have came down 7stone I have done 2 open days at the hospital regarding weight-loss surgery and I have also recently appeared on the Scotland on Sunday newspaper doing a big article regarding weight-loss surgery. Hopefully Iam hoping to get a support group set up in Edinburgh for people who are thinking about getting the gastic band and folk that have already had it done

7_5_142.gif Congrats on your weight loss. I agree about home care. But many travel to other places due to the price. But my personal opinion is the cost of traveling, haveing to find a fill center afterwards, complications(possibly) doesn't equal saving money. Plus you don't know for sure about your Dr. or fill center. Of course I know that can happen near your home also, but I would be more comfortable and would have recourse if something did go terribly wrong.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
