Hi Diana, I wish you the best of luck. I had my sleeve done at the Spire earlier this year and have never regretted my choice. The weight loss IS slower than with a bypass, but some would say this is a good thing as it gives your skin chance to catch up. hugs Sandra x

You've already had some great advice, the exact thing happened to me at around 5 weeks after my sleeve surgery. What I found is it takes your mind a while to adapt and catch up to the surgery, especially when you first start on the solid foods. I was setting myself the tiniest portions and even...

I've heard there is something in pepsi and coca cola that can harm the staples, how true that is I don't know but so far I've avoided it like the plague. hugs Sandra x

After a great weight loss it can take time to 'grow into our new selves, most people initially can look a bit gaunt. Give yourself time to catch up, keep up with the fluids and vitamins and you'll have anyone who doesn't think you look fabulous eating their words. hugs Sandra

Welcome Jackie! I'm a sleever too, although it's still early days for me I don't regret a thing.

I waited about a month, I was given a selection of dates, from two to six weeks after my first consultation. As others have said it's pretty much up to you. My daughter has had a consultation but has told them she will need to wait six months to get the money together.

You're a true inspiration Gail! love Sandra x

Hello Ladylite, I can't say too much about loose skin as I am only at the start of my journey, and of course every body is different. I must say though I paid privately and had a sleeve gastrectomy for £9,500 the gastric bypass would have cost the same with "healthier weight" I got £1,000 off...

Hi GN, The gastric sleeve is a permanent procedure, reducing the amount that can be eaten at any one time. Weight loss tends to be slower at first because there is no malabsoption or re-routing of the intestines. I liked the fact that it is permanent, the dreaded dumping syndrome is virtually...

Hope you continue to get well soon. Welcome back! love Sandra x

Wow, what a great head start for summer you'll now have!

I can't say how thrilled I am for you and especially your daughter. Wonderful news!
