    A very uplifting day, if I do say so myself !!

    Went to see Dr VJ my optician at the hospital. i haven't seen her since about a month before my op and expected her to say something about the weight loss but she never said a word. She simply sat me at the machine, asked me to put my head in the contraption and proceeded to check my eyes...

    Gurging/pain

    My stomach is gurgling away as I type and proper noisy it is too. Have you eaten or drank anything thats got too much acid in it like fruit or fruit juice? Best to get it checked to be on the safe side though.

    Post-oppers - what foods make you 'dump'

    Banana's, fruit juice and pastry. All three of these have made me dump. In fact I have to read the labels on everything and be very careful or I will suffer and I tend to stay well clear of anything that might set me off. Some people are a lot more sensitive than others I'm told.

    dumping syndrome

    I'm glad your being cared for as I was getting quite worried about you. I was told when I had to get from my local hospital to the one that did the original surgery that I should have requested transport and it would have been provided (this was by the PCT), so if you do have to transfer, make...

    air rage abuse now I'm scared to fly

    I got my bum stuck in the chair in my Neurologists office. It took both him and hubbie to pull me out and I had two lovely bruises both sides of my hips for a while. Last time I went to see him I deliberately sat in the same chair and watched his face as I stood up again. We both cracked a...

    dumping syndrome

    Ring them back and insist they see you, or present yourself at the A&E of the hospital that did your surgery. Do not waste your time with your own GP or your own hospital. I did that and ended up in a mess. They have a responsibility towards you and a duty of care. Don't mess about, force...

    What would you do?...

    I wouldn't be going anywhere near the school if it was me. Not worth it for the sake of a week. My daughter in law is a support worker in their local school and said some of the kids are coming in looking really poorly. My youngest sons girlfriend is a nurse working at Hartlands A&E. Both...

    Why do I feel like this???????

    Tyra's right. This isn't a competition to see who gets there first. Its much more important than that, its your life! Besides different WLS surgery dates does not always mean she will lose weight before or quicker than you. I've lost a tremendous amount of weight, much more than those that...

    A very uplifting day, if I do say so myself !!

    I'm so sorry about yesterday. Its not like me to let things get to me like that and don't think it was all to do with feeling sore all the time. I have a 25 year old son with Aspergers, Tourettes and associated conditions. he's a lovely sweet boy, spitting image of Justin Timberlake and been...

    dumping syndrome

    You get on the phone to your bariatric team asap. Nobody should leave post op pain especially when your so newly post op at that. Its always better safe than sorry. Those certainly are not the symptoms of dumping and assuming you are still on fluids you can't have anything stuck. You can...

    A very uplifting day, if I do say so myself !!

    I don't know whats up with me at the moment, most of today I've been near to tears and feeling really down. Went to the Surgical Appliance dept at our local hospital today to be measured for this Hernia Corset. The one I tried on was huge, bulky and rather ugly. After being measured I was...

    I know this sounds silly but....

    Has anyone else noticed how hard chairs seem when you start losing the weight or is it just me? Hubby pointed out that I seemed to be doing a lot of moaning about how hard everything is and he's right. I've lost my cushion and am feeling this boney bottom now :eek:

    GBS in 30 days - if you were doing it all again...

    If I had my time again I would not be doing the milk diet thats for sure. I'd be following the low fat diet for a longer time, eating lots of veggies, exercising and taking vits for at least a month before the op to ensure that I was as fit as I could possibly be for the op and also to aid...
