Hi Trisha, I took an Arnica tablet and a multivitamin for 6 weeks immediatley before my op (great advice from Shelbell) and I'm sure it helped enormously with my healing and wellbeing. Good luck with your op Sue xx

Congrats Shel and thanks for all the advice you have given me during your 3 years Sue xx

I would use Ducalax personally. I like the fact they are only tiny tablets but very effective. Are you drinking enough water Brad? it is the most common reason for constipation. I know it can get boring but I jazz mine up by putting it in a tall glass with crushed ice and a slice of lemon or...

Well done that is a fantastic achievement. And you should be very proud of yourself. Way to go Sue xx

Hi Kev, Protein bullets come in a tube already mixed. They come in various flours but the orange is the best. They have 42g of protein in with no fat or sugar. They can be used as soon as you are able to have fluid after surgery, brilliant for carrying around with you for a quick fix of...

Hi Joffy, the best advice I can give is to really try and get as much protein in as possible to give yourself the energy you need. Also drink plently of water whenever possible. I would also invest in some protein bullets which are ready made protein drinks, fat and sugar free (orange...

Congrats Mandy, wishing you a speedy recovery Sue xx

Hi Penelope Good luck for tomorrow, I will come and meet you for a bit of moral support. I have blondish hair and will be carrying a canvass tote bag with a golden retriever on it. About 10.30 in the cafe at the bottom of the stairs (main entrance). Don't worry it will be fine tomorrow you...

Hi Mandy, This is a real easy one for me because although only about 9 weeks out from surgery my life is soooo different. I am now living instead of just existing. I haven't had a huge loss in this time (only about a stone and a half, bit dissapointing) but the difference already is...

Hi Steve, Sorry you are having such a nightmare. I hope the problems you have are not permanent and can be put right for you no matter how long it takes. I can only imagine how difficult life is for you right now and can only hope it improves, sending you lots of gentle hugs Sue xx

Congratulations the countdown begins, wishing you all the best Sue xx

Congratulations, it will be here before you know it Sue xx

Jaxx, first off CONGRATULATIONS you have lost an incredible amount of weight and must feel so much better for it. Also all credit to you for going to the gym and realising how easy it would be to just give in and go back to old ways and doing something about it. I salute you. I think it does...

Go for it Tinkerbell you know you can do it Sue xx

Hi bobsbigboy, Nice to meet some who has been 'done' lol at Bournemouth. How are you recovering, I hope it all went well for you. Sue xx

Hi Penelope, I only took one sports bag. When we got to the Sandbourne suite my hubby left me with my bag and went.(he doesn't like hospitals). Any bags you have when you go in for surgery are taken from you and labelled by hospital staff and put away safe. When you go back on the ward they...

Hi Penelope, I will certainly come and look for you after my appointment. I may be to early for you tho because last time I see Dr Davies I was in and out under 2 minutes (despite having a 2 hour drive to get there lol). I am dragging hubby off to Castlepoint after wahooo, no stopping now. Some...

Hi Penelope, Yes I did have my op at Bournemouth Royal, Both Dr Davies and Dr Byrom did the op together. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. The op was a total success, the hospital itself is spotless and all the staff are fantastic. I can honestly say hand on heart it was the most...
